Why Android uses so many quirky features in Java, like inner and anonymous classes, callbacks and nested generics?

I searched everywhere for the reason but can't find why, only how.

I rarely use these features outside of Android development.

    It seems really weird sometimes.
    I don't understand why it is like that. I want to know the history of why it' implemneted in this way

    Sure it isn't just a case of "uh, flashy new stuff.. Let's use that in production" - syndrome? :p

    Callbacks and nested/anonymous classes don't really seem weird to me, they're quite handy sometimes
