JDK vs Android SDK (ASDK )?

Question

I am new to android but has 8 years of experience in java based web apps. I have below questions on ADK while comparison JDK for web based development.

As Android Software Development Kit(ASDK) is used for android development. My question is does ADK also uses internally JRE to execute the server side files or it has separate runtime environment ?

Also how client side programming is done in ADK ? For example in java based web app we use HTML file to display the UI and JS to trigger the events both executed by browser ? Do we still use HTML/JS in android app for UI and cient side events os is there a separate mechanism for that ?

There are no server-side files associated with Android apps, unless you decide to do that yourself (eg, have the app contact a Web service).

Do we still use HTML/JS in android app for UI and cient side events

You can, through so-called hybrid app frameworks, such as PhoneGap. Android has its own GUI framework, and various other engines exist (eg, Unity 3D for games).
