It's worth pointing out the Android devs finally started noticing this for Lollipop (probably due to their animations) and the API now has lots of places where it passes Java primitives instead of objects, which is the distinction between passing by value and by reference. This is simply not true. The API has always been heavily based on Java primitives. They didn't even use enums in the older APIs, preferring instead int constants. (I hate that one personally). GC pauses have always been a point of focus for the Android platform.
