Description
Description
Currently, the Android target relies on android-activity and ndk, which are not well-suited for userland POSIX environments such as Termux.
It would be desirable to have the ability to switch between android-activity, ndk, and X11 support.
P.S. X11 is essentially a network protocol and should be cross-platform and portable. For example, it should also run on Windows.
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Android target's use of android-activity and the NDK, then compare those requirements with the proposed X11 support for POSIX environments such as Termux. Define how switching among the Android and X11 backends should work and how completion would be validated across Android and other platforms.
