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.

March 9, 2025 - It should be possible to build gtk applications written in rust for the new android backend, given that the rust bindings do not use introspection at build time (sources are pregenerated).

r/gnome on Reddit: New Android backend considered to be included in GTK 4.18
January 28, 2025 - Note that while this is very interesting, it does not equal to GNOME apps becoming available for Android, since it's a very different platform on many more levels than just the toolkit.

GTK announces X11 deprecation, new Android backend, and much more – OSnews
The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we’re not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released.

Try GTKAndroid.
It still has many limitations at the moment when I'm writing this comment, but you should be able to run some simple forms with this already.

Nothing is impossible. First of all, GTK library need to be coss-compiled. After that, the compiled library need to be deployed to android.

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.
If you want to help out, feel free to clone GTK and work on increasing the backward compatibility. Askin…

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.
