This might be a naive question but I want to know if it's possible to run react on android devices?
I'm new to react - I only know the basics of it. I know that react-native does not use html but native-ish objects as markup.
I just want to create a really simple app which I want to be able to access per browser but also as app.
So yeah. It's kinda hard to google this question beacuse you'll get flooded with react-native answers. Or well - maybe I just haven't tried hard enough.
Yes, although this should not be considered good practice.
You can create an app that shows a WebView where you load your react code from the local file system. See also adding ReactJS in android Webview
Yeah absolutely you can run react on an Android device!
A very common way that mobile apps implement this (outside of React Native), is to have the app open a WebView – which just opens a view of a website (running React).
These apps are slower than native-ly written apps or React Native, because there's an extra layer of translation. They are typically the simplest version of an app – all they do is open the WebView and let a responsive web app take over from there.
There's even a few tools to compile a single set of source code into apps for multiple operating systems (Android and iOS at once).
