To my way of thinking, Android is a very purpose-driven deployment: it is built to run on portable devices, and if you therefore try to run it on a desktop, you are probably just engaging in what is intended to be an exercise for developer convenience ... not a "real world" scenario.
Obviously, one of the advantages of Android is that it is built upon familiar software technology, but, even then, you are definitely looking at a purpose-driven environment. Therefore, anything that you deploy to it is going to have to be more-or-less customized and arranged to be compatible with that environment's design intent, which is, "portable." Don't expect to take a non-portable-oriented app and "drop it into Android." Frankly, don't even ask, because oranges don't belong in watermelon crates.
