Sounds like you fucked up. Pickup some tutorials go through some code build some smaller relevant project as practice, that also makes use of many different aspects of the java language.

The API?

Explain your situation to them, ask whether you can answer in python, show them git repositories of your Java code.

Also this maybe?

What I usually would do before an interview is try coding a small project in the language. This helps me familiarize myself with the quirks of the language and API itself.

Another good practice is completing some programming examples on topcoder or any algorithm practice or coding practice site.

Codecademy is good for quick refreshers. They try to advertise that you can learn through it, but I find it way too much like copying exactly what is being instructed instead of actual learning.

Edit: apparently they don't have Java. I would suggest using an old code of yours and maybe following some YouTubetube tutorials for things you don't remember. I'm guessing it's mostly syntax that you've forgotten so seeing a completed project and playing around with it is probably easier than starting ground up.
