Summary

There are a ton of tutorials for MV, but after hours and hours of trying I give up. APKCR a program from a russian programmer alerted my anti-virus - also it did not work (the program just closed itself). AltimitSystems Android-Stuiod Project (for MV)

a program from a russian programmer alerted my anti-virus - also it did not work (the program just closed itself).

AltimitSystems Android-Stuiod Project (for MV)
I had a bit more success with the Builder-Project from felixjones: https://github.com/AltimitSystems/mv-android-client
I needed to download Android Studio 4.0.1, since I got some errors with the newer Android Studios.

and it worked, I had an apk in the end, but it was unable to load some layer files (its able to load on playtest on pc).

I guess it's because its a project for MV, and I'm having a MZ Project.

Is there any working Android Studio project, just like the one from AltimitSystems, but it works for MZ too?

UPDATE 19 May 2022
Problem Solved:

The problem was:

AFTER building the apk, the android machine had problems finding files through names.

Special characters in file names like the minus or hyphen "-" in the file name caused troubles.

Also file names need to be case sensitive, watch out that the file names are all lower case, and there is no upper case endings like .PNG instead a .png
