So will the google play store version get nightly updates or would I have to manually install every time I want to update to latest version?
nightlies will likely work as they do on PC, so you’ll probably need to download nightly updates, it’s pretty easy if you place a bookmark on your home screen anyway.

Ok so on the latest version from the apk a few posts above, everything seems great. Except in the evac shelter where I start. When I use the computer and choose option 3 that opens more of the map up or whatever, when I hit 3, it seems to lock up for about a minute and then finally just crashes to the home screen.

this is a known mapgen issue
Hi, I’m new to CDDA and tried playing this latest build after playing the one from Google Play however after it was done unpacking the screen went black, then the game crashed. Ditto after copying the game files from the Google Play version. I’m playing on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 (2015 edition, I think) running Android 5.
Thanks for the report, once I get crash reporting up and running I’ll start looking into these issues. If you have adb installed on your computer you can run ‘adb logcat’ to get a log of the crash when it happens and email it to me.

Oh I see. Is that a bug with just the android build out of curiosity?

no, it occurs on PC as well
the issue is still active it seems
looking at github this seems nearly ready and your efforts are so, so appreciated!
Yep, it’s getting there! 
I’ll make the WIP PR soon with my remaining todos and see if anyone has any comments. I’d still like to do some C++ cleanup/refactoring, but that can probably happen before or after the merge depending on the PR discussion.

First attempt failed:
I guess dependencies (SDL and such) were not found:
Is it because android folder with dependencies is in my home folder instead of Cataclysm-DDA folder?
If only someone could update the playstore version, we wouldn’t be encountering troubles like this…
this is the original dev with a much improved port, which will no longer bother with the play store and will have nightly builds similar to what we have on PCs, hopefully in the near-future.

Sounds like you got this fixed based on the PR comments but just for clarity yes that’s exactly right, I fixed the compiling instructions based on your comments to make it more clear where the dependency git clone commands should be run from.
Yeah, I’ve compiled, installed and run it successfully:
But it seems to run slowly as it is debug build.
Hi, is it possible to compile but a non debug build? Also can you please link it? I dont have a pc. Just playing on my android. Thank you
