Uxn on Android
This is a working port of Uxn to run on Android.
Guide
To get a proper on-screen keyboard, install "Hacker's Keyboard" from Google Play. Use it naturally, as you would use a physical keyboard, including pressing and holding modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, etc) with letters if a ROM requires it (like Noodle, to load or save an image).
Tapping anywhere outside of ROM screen area will toggle the keyboard.
F4 will invoke "boot" ROM, which displays all the ROMs available for loading,
including those you once downloaded with a browser and then opened using Uxn.
Building yourself
Easiest way to start is to install JDK first, then Android Studio and make sure NDK is there to use on your computer. Your OS package manager might already have the packages required, if you're willing to go that route.
Make sure environment is properly configured:
; ls $ANDROID_HOME
build-tools emulator licenses ndk patcher platform-tools platforms tools
You should be able to build now:
; cd uxn; ./build --no-run # need boot.rom to be included
; cd src/android; ./gradlew assembleDebug # now the APK
