Didn't respond?

Android is self-serve (i.e. not a supported platform) but you can send a pull request updating tools/v8_gypfiles/v8.gyp to use stack_trace_android.cc instead of stack_trace_posix.cc.
It's quite possible you'll run into other build errors. You'll have to fix those yourself as well.

I'm trying the same, and also I'm getting stuck with this kind of errors. If you agree we could chat separately to share our findings and try to compile it properly (I'm trying to don't make spam here).
AbdullahZughbi commentedon Jun 24, 2025
Has the Android issue been fixed now?
I want to use Node.js to build native UI apps on Android. Is that possible now?
verdeandrius commentedon Jun 24, 2025
Under my understanding, it is not possible directly, the compilation process needs to be adjusted to compile for android to make NodeJs accesible via JNI, but I'm learning too so I can be wrong.
AbdullahZughbi commentedon Jun 24, 2025
Try this:
By the way, will there be an official Node.js release for Android in the future?
Maybe try using a
.nodefile with JNI?For context, I started learning Node.js with discord.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and EJS in October 2023.
bnoordhuis commentedon Jun 24, 2025
Unlikely, for reasons of testing/maintenance/etc. Will only happen if enough people spend enough time to make it viable.
AbdullahZughbi commentedon Jun 25, 2025
Ok
build: fix android build
