r/gnome on Reddit: Draft: Android support for GTK
August 12, 2024 - Does any existing code need changes if GTK gets an Android backend? No, because backends are isolated from each other. The Wayland or X11 backend doesn't care at all if there's an Android backend or not.

And, maybe the biggest news: We have an Android backend now. It is still experimental, so you should expect some rough edges and loose ends. For example, there is no GL renderer support yet. But it is exciting that you can just try gtk4-demo on your phone now, and have it mostly work.

I do not understand why this backend cannot or would not support Android 8.
Because it’s experimental, and the only person working on it is using SDK 31 as the baseline.
