Android apps¶

Android apps run on Zaviya, Play Store included. A Google Play Store title appears in the library after the first sign-in.

Apps from the Play Store, or from an .apk, .apkm, .xapk or .apks file, get a title in the Steam library with their icon. They run full screen with touch, the controller and an on-screen keyboard.

Installing an app file¶

Use any of these methods:

Open the file in Dolphin.
Copy it to ~/Android/Inbox.
Use Zaviya Loadout > Mine > Add a game or app.

The konkr-apk command manages apps from a terminal:

konkr-apk install Example.apkm
konkr-apk list
konkr-apk remove com.example.app

Note

Games whose anti-cheat blocks emulators will not run, and some apps may still crash. The first launch downloads the Android runtime, which takes a few minutes.

Restarting into Android¶

Zaviya Control has a Restart into Android button. Android also starts from the OpenABL menu, see Flash OpenABL.
