I'm looking to explore running a D application on Android based

with the Android + D integration so I need some help.
Has any of you successfully done that? Could use a sample code
or anything I can use to figure out how to start.
Android itself is just linux under the hood, however the launcher
starts java process that fires up your activity class (main in
native languages) from there you just call your native code and
that's it.
This means
1) you need to build D shared lib
2) make java wrapper in activity to call your code
3) handle your events as if it's java
I did some work in the past for DlangUI[1], you can probably take
the gradle project[2] with build scripts and the Activity class
as the starting point, however I have no idea what does arsd libs
with gui.
Also note that I did it for existing DlangUI code based on
NativeActivity library which is deprecated for years now, and
that's why you need proper java wrapper.
