Disclaimer: I can compile MAME, but I am in no-way a fully fledged dev (for the last 10 years at least).
I've seen that work has started towards an official Android build for MAME. I am not sure of the current status, but I want to ask. Is it possible to make an .apk using the current tools? How? Do I use make with some specific parameters? (makefile seems to have the appropriate sections for Android) Is gradle the way? (not even sure how to use that)
Please help?

Wondering how far they got done on the source.  Haven't seen mame.apk on the MAME website yet.

No, but I want to try to compile myself to see myself. I am trying to run gradle (on my Windows 10 x64) and fixing all dependencies that hit gradlew.bat.

It's possible-ish on Windows only I think. You have to have the NDK installed, and I don't know the specific incantation after that. Micko has posted screenshots of it running on an Android tablet though.
ETA: "make android-arm -j9 and then use Android Studio and open the project, which is in a separate folder in root."

Thanks for the info Micko.

I have ndk and sdk installed. It actually wanted me to move ndk to a specific folder.
"gradlew.bat make" (after having to set a parameter in a file) did make some tiny .apk which I am not sure what they are good for. They are not MAME definitely.
I didn't use Android Studio (but is installed). It is (probably) compiling now, using normal msys64 environment, I will know in a while. (damn make really needed a progress bar - I keep saying that) I actually used the same make flags as windows version except I put first argument to be "android-arm64".
It gave a bunch of errors in the beginning (suspect because I don't have mame folder in src folder, but some other path), I'll wait for it to end to see how critical they were.

I have no clue on how to set this up. There no install in the android-ndk-r11c-windows-x86_64.zip http://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html

You don't "install" it, you extract it.
My make failed.
In the beginning it says "'pkg-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." for 7 times. This file does exist and is in "D:\Development\msys64\usr\share\bash-completion\completions".
Then it says "fatal: unable to join threaded lstat".
I suspect these are critical.
Then it progresses more or less normally generating various makes for gmake-android-arm64 (so at least it recognizes my intended target).
I run make from inside win32con in path "D:\Development\msys64\src\mame". It compiles fine a normal windows build.
Anybody can help?
