Issue
I am getting back to coding Java after two years, which I sorely missed. I need to set up an environment on Android for game making, so I purchased Jvdroid for the ability to process Maven files from GitHub on my phone. Jvdroid resembles a similarity to IntelliJ from JetBrains with much less features. LibGDX offers a Project making executable JAR, yet the file limits it self only to Desktop operating systems.
My problem then focuses on getting a LibGDX Project for a hopefully simple set up. It is possible that Jvdroid may still say no to downloading required libraries for compiling. I will not be able to use LibGDX I think on Android, if that proves true.
I am familiar enough with GitHub, where I can just download a working sample Project for LibGDX from a different programmer's repository or LibGDX's own. Flappy Bird is a bad example, but that serves just to give you an idea.
If that concept fails, then I would possibly consider an alternate game engine like Cocos2D or Haxe. I need some thing with GLTF file support in the future, because of my love for Daz3D. I also restrict my coding to Java.
I appreciate insight for how LibGDX may possibly compile and run on Android. I believe producing an APK would be comparably good effort at that far of a point. I am aware a couple of other programmers have successfully done such with minimal Project files at the least of it all.
Thank you for reading and your time.
Solution
Not familiar with Jvdroid, but I would have looked at Termux and see if your device's OS version is compatible and your device has adequate storage (RAM/Flash). Termux simulates a Linux terminal environment (with limits), so it helps to be familiar with the command line interface. Do realize that there are preferred places to download as Google Play policies no longer compatible.
A quick search brings up projects like: https://github.com/ravener/libgdx-termux which may be a jumping off point.
Of course, if you can do development on a PC - your experience will be better, due to each new Android version adding restrictions to such an environment.
