Description
I was wondering if node_exporter was able to run on Android, so I've downloaded the latest version (arm64) and tried to run it through termux, it started! However, as soon I asked for the metrics I got a huge exception.

It would be cool if that was possible to run and plug the device metrics into grafana.

Start by reproducing the reported metrics request failure under Termux on Android and examining the exception shown in the linked screenshot. The issue names no files or tests, so first determine whether Android support is feasible and what changes or documentation would define support. Done means a clear compatibility answer or a tested path for exporting Android device metrics.
