Research direction
Review the referenced PR #12069 for the C++ core and iOS implementation details. Examine the existing Android UI code (likely under android/app/src/main/java/) to understand the project structure. Implement JNI methods to bridge the C++ core, then create a UI similar to the iOS implementation, ensuring it adapts to landscape/portrait and light/dark modes. Test the changes thoroughly.
