Android Translation Layer is lightweight translation layer for running Android apps on Linux. It works similar to Wine and therefore does not require an Android container in the background like Waydroid. The project is quite new and the list of working applications is currently quite short. It is available in Alpine edge and therefore also in postmarketOS edge.

Installation

$ sudo apk add android-translation-layer

Usage

Run an Android application.

$ android-translation-layer application.apk

Install a desktop launcher for an Android application.

$ android-translation-layer --install application.apk
