can't speak about compiler construction. but if all you want to do is run ruby, python, c++ codes. then try termux. it can compile, run them all. it is possible to make Android apps on it ( it will be limited compared to desktop ). there's a dedicated website for that. check if that works for you. https://termux.com/ Termux https://sdrausty.github.io/buildAPKs/ Easily Build Android APKs on Device in Termux - sdrausty.guthub.io

the site (2nd link) is about creating android apps *on mobile*. unless by apps you mean desktop apps... about the compiler can't help there. research online you will get many useful resources.

Firstly yes it is probably possible, but it'd be advanced AF and take a long time to make. The problem isn't making the compiler of a language, at least not if you just use someone else's compiler, but rather doing the part that makes it into an app (Also if we're not talking Android there's probably no way to make it)

@Bhavin that exists (at least for Android) it's called AIDE

Is it for having a project or because you need it?

@Marcus I want a handy tool to develop apps. So anytime one can code and debug direct on device.
