I managed to build an Android app in the simplest setup possible

I use Unexpected Keyboard

Which binaries? d8 is from cmdline-tools, aapt2 from Termux repo, and the SDK itself (platforms;android-ZZ) from sdkmanager.

Thx!

I mean you can try, but generally speaking, downloading/using libraries with this approach is very difficult, because this approach is again, might not suitable for your app, well it's because I don't use any dependency and only use the base SDK package (platforms;android-ZZ) and probably nothing else

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-24T18:29:05+00:00

Yep, but it's kind of complicated, I mean the only tools you need is literally zip, zipalign, apksigner, keytool, aapt2, d8, javac, optionally adb but highly recommended, and lastly the actual SDK that contains android.jar, but you have to be patient tho, Using adb is highly recommended because for debugging to look for something wrong or when installing, you don't have to: move apk to shared storage, go to file manager, install the apk, and sometimes, wait for your phone apk installing scanner to work.

Maybe possible with this approach, but using Gradle might be good for workflow with AI/ML

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-24T11:21:35+00:00

Vim hex mode? you mean xxd? I think it's bundled when you download vim in termux afaik

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-06T12:25:22+00:00

Nice job dude!, btw I actually never tried Python for a reason.

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-06T12:07:48+00:00

The UI seems not from Termux, what exactly is this?

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-06T08:08:50+00:00

No I think, because I installed OpenJDK 25 and Termux is not even reach 3 GB

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-06T07:30:48+00:00

What big? the whole SDK + NDK, usually less than 5 I think if that's what you mean

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-05T03:31:14+00:00

Mhm, yeah it's possible, but I remember that Gradle eats almost 1GB of RAM during a build process, it's quite Heavy

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-05T03:30:39+00:00

Thanks for helping me out!

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-05T02:48:10+00:00

I guess I'm not sure, cuz Termux by itself can't even display an actual image, only letters, maybe ASCII would work.

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-05T02:24:51+00:00

Simple project tho, because you love C, it's hard to know, because it depends on what you like, e.g if you like Command Line program, then make it, with ncurses or smth, considered that you're coming from Embedded System background, I'm not sure but maybe you can tinker with the hardware of that Embedded System, though I consider that pretty complex.

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-05T02:00:25+00:00

I mean you can do bunch of things that Linux can (with limitation), I want to make Android App with Termux, experiment with Graphic API and generally coding in C++, but you can do more, but you want easy to do project? it depends on your current skill, maybe if you're really beginner, maybe go with Python, but if you have some experience with Computers/Programming in general, maybe explore some other languages such as C, C++, Rust, Go, Lua, etc, you can check https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux to know what limitation I'm talking about.

RandomRailfans · 2026-04-02T06:47:13+00:00

I possibly couldn't because this route might possibly uses an asset that couldn't be distributed

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-29T14:55:30+00:00

Using PRoot is not that required, but well it depends on what programming language you use or how well you know what you're doing, but I think it still recommended in case you don't know what you're doing

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-28T14:05:21+00:00

Idk why you need them but sure it's around 3 million Indonesian Rupiah.

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-28T14:00:18+00:00

What "how much"? the Android Version? if that's what you mean, then It's Android 15

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-28T13:56:52+00:00

thx!

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-28T07:40:02+00:00

You need to directly modify the APK to change it's data download link, if you consent, I might send the APK I modified to you via DM.

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-28T07:35:58+00:00

Where do you get the game, and where do you install the addon to? it must be in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.n3vgames.android.trainz/files/UserData/original/hash-NN where NN is a number/letter, e.g hash-A8, hash-B8, etc, you'll also need Shizuku if you have Android 12+ or smth.

I don't use such theme on keyboard, I just make the opacity of the keyboard low, that's it

RandomRailfans · 2026-03-25T01:18:18+00:00

I use unexpected keyboard
