Can anyone tell me how (if even possible) to get Node running on my Android phone with access to native APIs?

I know about Termux but is this really the only way? Can we not do this ourselves?

Termux looks like a pretty good starting point. And the code is even on github, free to inspect.

If I may ask so, what is it you would like to use Node for on your Android phone?

I build node.js v8.12.0 for Android arm64 with Docker.

You can check what I did at this branch github.com/kelp404/node-in-android....
You also can build it by yourself github.com/kelp404/node-in-android....
