AnyClaw (Android)

Android APK that embeds a Termux-style Linux bootstrap environment, installs OpenClaw + Codex on first run, and presents the AnyClaw UI inside a WebView.

Prerequisites

  • Android Studio (or just the Android SDK command-line tools)
  • Java 17+
  • curl (for downloading bootstrap)

Build Instructions

1. Download the Termux bootstrap

cd android
./scripts/download-bootstrap.sh

This downloads bootstrap-aarch64.zip (~30 MB) from Termux releases into app/src/main/assets/.

2. (Optional) Bundle the server

If you want to pre-bundle the codex-web-local server in the APK so users don't need to npm install it on first run:

./scripts/build-server-bundle.sh

This builds the Vue frontend + Express CLI from the parent project and copies them into app/src/main/assets/server-bundle/.

3. Build the APK

./gradlew assembleDebug

The APK will be at app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk.

For a release build:

./gradlew assembleRelease

First Run

On first launch, the app will:

  1. Extract the bootstrap environment (~30 MB compressed, ~100 MB extracted)
  2. Run apt-get install nodejs-lts (downloads ~30 MB)
  3. Run npm install -g @openai/codex codex-web-local
  4. Prompt for your OpenAI API key (stored encrypted on device)
  5. Start the server and load the WebView

Steps 1-3 only happen once. Subsequent launches skip straight to step 4-5.

Minimum Requirements

  • Android 7.0 (API 24) or higher
  • arm64-v8a device (most modern Android phones)
  • ~500 MB free storage for bootstrap + Node.js + Codex
  • Internet connection (for API calls and first-run package installs)
