Really you'd have to port/rebuild the app for Linux in general using a framework like Libhandy. However, you could also look into Waydroid to play the Android App as is.
I am talking about 100% open source apps to port, waydroid is a virus no thanks.
Ok I'll take the bait. In what way is the 100% open source project Waydroid (made almost specifically for the pinephone) a virus?
My answer is unchanged. If you used an engine to make your android app, you're out of luck. If it's open source, use the source code as a reference to rebuild it using linux libraries like GTK and Libhandy.
that's what it was just a bait, I mean having to install almost 2GB just to run maybe one or two andoird apps...and in my opinion it looses the sense of using a linux phone.
