Making a Better Way to Integrate Android Applications with Debian
by luckymcbeast from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YTAQ)
Though this is my first post on this forum, I am a fairly seasoned Linux user. I'm currently running Debian with KDE. I'm trying to figure out a way to integrate Android applications with my system. None of the solutions out there really fit what I'm looking for and most of my research has either lead to "you just can't do it." I find that hard to believe. I know Android is a Linux derivative and that an APK is somewhat similar to DEB, in that it is an installation package. I know one of the biggest hurdles is architecture differences between ARM and x86-64. There are lots of emulators for running Android apps and there is Anbox, but those solutions create system separations.
What I'm trying to achieve is having android applications running alongside "regular" Linux desktop applications, kinda like Google has done with ChromeOS (another Linux based OS). I guess what I'm saying here is, if they can do it, we can too?
