GB64.net also mention running a QB64 program on Android device, but [abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there] is dead. After much searching, I found Android process on https://web.archive.org/wiki/index.php/Android_Project. That was captured just before [abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there] died. I used that process in an attempt to get the "Hello Android" program to run on an Android Studio virtual device. The program compile OK on QB64 but Android studio Gradle does not like it at all. Android and Android studio is completely new to me.
Has anybody tried to run QB64 programs on Android? I would appreciate advice and help.

In theory you should be able to compile and run the SDL version of QB64 directly on most Android devices using GNURoot(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=champion.gnuroot&hl=en (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=champion.gnuroot&hl=en))

The QB64 for Android project has never really taken off, and while some samples got to be compiled previously (3 years ago? I have Terry's Flappy Bird clone in mind), no work has been done since then, which almost screams "incompatible" with the latest Android studio/Gradle stuff.
Your best bet for Android development is actually going for Java and Android Studio itself at the moment.
