Does installing the Android Support app equal installing Alien Dalvik? Do I have Alien Dalvik, or any runtime/daemon/VM on the Jolla without the Android Support app being installed? (haven't found anything suspicious in the output of systemctl

I'm asking because I have not installed Android Support yet, but the Settings/System/Utilities app includes options to stop and restart the service and returns with OK on the press of either button. I would expect options that pertain to unavailable services be greyed out or disabled or somehow marked as N/A.

cheers

The Sailfish-Utilities does not check if aliendalvik eg android support is installed or not and shows this option always.

Thank you! For the record, it's 0.0.9 of sailfish-utilities, I hope that would change in the future as, like the subject says, it is a bit confusing.
