Android Translation Layer

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 unlike 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.
