You don't need a computer to develop Android apps?
3 comments

I remember running kali linux once on my phone with (termux+vnc) and a vnc viewer app watching some random youtube videos a few years back

So I feel like, Something like this was/is possible but its immensely hard for something like this being used especially when a desktop os on a phone is so bad ergonomically speaking unless you have a keyboard mouse connected

A better option iirc is to use something like kivy[0] directly with termux, not sure if java might have direct options too or not.

You can use _any_ computer to make Android apps. For iOS you strictly need a Mac.
You aren't even limited to android apps. You can install termux and write and compile your own code to run from there or to copy and run anywhere else.
