I need to use BlueJ for university and would like to access it on my Samsung Android tablet. Is there any way to install or run BlueJ directly on Android? I have a desktop computer at home, but I need BlueJ during practical exercises at university and cannot afford to buy a laptop. I already own the tablet, so I'm looking for a way to use it instead of carrying my full computer setup.

Another possibility is asking your university whether students can remotely access computer-lab machines. If BlueJ is installed on those computers, you may be able to connect to one from your tablet without needing to install BlueJ on Android.
For regular programming work, a desktop or laptop is generally much more practical because BlueJ is designed for computer operating systems rather than mobile devices. Since you already have a computer, using remote access or your university’s lab facilities is probably the most realistic option.
BlueJ does not have an official Android version, so it cannot normally be installed and run directly on a Samsung tablet. If you have a computer at home, you could leave it switched on and connected to the internet, then access it remotely from the tablet with a remote-desktop app such as Chrome Remote Desktop. The experience may not be ideal for programming, but it would let you use the actual BlueJ installation.
Thanks, I’ll give remote access a try.
