Old programming languages never die, but they very rarely get used, except for very minor tweaking of decades-old programs.

Some of my own rarities: BASIC, Pascal, 8080/Z80 assembler, 8086 assembler, COBOL, Java.

It's been pretty much C only for me since the mid-90s, with a little SQL thrown in for good measure.

How can Java be a rarity if almost every Android app is written in it?

Note the "my own rarity" part. I haven't used Java since the 1990s.

Then again, not many programmers (relatively speaking) develop apps for Android. More programmers develop apps for systems other than Android.

Regardless of your personal list, Java is still one of the most popular languages today and nowhere near being "dead" in the slightest. No one's individual list of used/unused languages is relevant in this case - the question is about mass adoption and active development.
