I need to use BlueJ for university and would like to know whether it can be installed or run directly on a Samsung tablet running Android. I already have a desktop computer at home, but I need access to BlueJ during practical exercises on campus and cannot afford to buy a laptop. Are there any Android-compatible alternatives, remote-access options, or university services that would let me use BlueJ from the tablet?

BlueJ does not have an official Android version, so it cannot normally be installed and used directly on the tablet. If you have a computer at home, you could leave it switched on and connected to the internet, then control it from the tablet with a remote-desktop tool such as Chrome Remote Desktop. Another option is to ask your university whether students can remotely access lab computers that already have BlueJ installed.
Thanks, that sounds like a practical option. I’ll look into remote access and check whether my university provides access to its lab computers.
