Is Dalvik’s memory model the same as Java’s?

by

As of 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), Dalvik’s behavior should match up with JSR-133 (the Java Memory Model).

As of 3.0 (Honeycomb), most of the pieces were in place, but some minor things had been overlooked that would be difficult to encounter in practice (e.g. some edge cases in finalization).

As of 2.3 (Gingerbread), Dalvik was generally correct on uniprocessors, but some key features required for proper behavior on SMP hardware (e.g. proper final field handling) was missing.

Pre-Gingerbread, there were no memory barriers at all, and basic stuff like volatile long was broken.
