No, Android is a completely different OS which was based on top of Linux. Software is generally not compatible between the two OS due to vastly different libraries and because, indeed, the Android userspace stack is built around Java. It really doesn't matter for us what the OS. But I find it somewhat appalling when uninformed people go around spreading false information and selling their speculations as facts, that's why I wanted to put that straight*.
For what it's worth, it should be easy for you to find out whether the RP1 runs Linux, too. Just check out the Terms & Conditions incorporated into the software. If it's using strict FOSS licenses like the S1 you should also be able to find a similar link to where Sony provides tarballs of the software's sourcecode.
* that was not meant to refer to you but to that specific person who has a long history of doing so
