I am having a really hard time backing up my bitcoinj mnemonic and importing it somewhere else.

I am backing up the mnemonic like so:

    Wallet wallet = Wallet.createDeterministic(params, Script.ScriptType.P2WPKH);
    DeterministicSeed seed = wallet.getKeyChainSeed();
    System.out.println("seed: " + seed.toString());
    System.out.println("creation time: " + seed.getCreationTimeSeconds());
    System.out.println("mnemonicCode: " + Utils.SPACE_JOINER.join(seed.getMnemonicCode()));

This gives me: cram approve decline tobacco truly giant remember author install dirt spare law

The wallet dump for this wallet/mnemonic looks like this:

Now importing the bip39 mnemonic into electrum or the iancoleman site gives me completely different adressess no matter what derivation path I use. How can I import the mnemonic so that it creates the exact adresses as bitcoinj/android schildbach wallet? Or how else should I backup?

Just restore as normal using electrum and on the screen where you have to enter the derivation path you set it to m/0' and choose legacy as the script type. Then create another wallet via file > new/restore for the p2wpkh addresses. This time choose native segwit as the wallet type and enter m/1' as the derivation path.
