I wanna to bring some translation to android device Only way to do this for me is launch jar file using openjdk 17 with temux terminal app 

I just tryed to lainch it with command: java -jar ./TalesOfAndrogyny.jar com.majalis.talesofandrogyny.android.AndroidLauncher

But it throw error: Couldn't load shared library libgdxarm64 

I also able to make apk build but I don't have source code GitHub repo looks abandoned


May be there is an much easy way Mb it possible just paste translation folder somewhere on device with original apk?

I don't know how exactly it's done, but a person I know was making a translated build for Android easily. 

1. You had to open .apk as an archive and replace strings.properties and encounters.json files.

(Previously you could also replace the UI elements, but they're encrypted currently to take up less space).

2. Then you needed an Android Studio, and to download a library for actual Android version (some forums of Android developers should have them). Using Studio you could make the .apk structure correct, so any Android device would run it.

I think older Android versions (like 9, lol) could run the .apk without the second step, but newest wouldn't unfortunately.
