Does Android follow Java Memory Model?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out whether Android follows Java Memory Model. I found an old post stating that it does on Dalvik since Android 4.0[1], but how about ART? Can we apply the rules in JMM(or other reputable resources like Java Concurrency in Practice) to modern Android development?

Thanks, but I couldn't find the answer in the linked article, which seems to be also written by fadden originally. Is it 1) Yes, we can apply JMM(JSR133) to Java the language and runtime on recent Android versions, 2) No, it's complicated, or 3) I'm asking the wrong question?
