What about using Shashlink to run Android Apps on Sailfish

Source: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Shashlink-Android-Linux

Shashlik is an "Android Simulated Environment" to serve as a launcher for running Android applications on a conventional GNU/Linux distribution.

Shashlik will be presented later this month at KDE's Akademy 2015 conference as a new way for running Android applications on "real" Linux.

The talk abstract by Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen reads, "Shashlik, a collection of Android systems and frameworks as minimal as possible, built to run on a standard, modern linux system, using as much of the standard system as possible, and created to be Free/Libre from its inception. Shashlik is built to integrate into your existing system, whether it be a desktop, laptop, tablet or even a plasma based phone or television. While it is, as with such things, never completed, this presentation marks the first public release that you can grab yourself and play with, and you will see applications running through Shashlik on an entirely normal Plasma desktop."

What would be the viability of such an initiative on SailfishOS ? Could be a good way to improve the porting to alternative platforms (that don't have the licence for the android VM)...
