How to write scripts for android?

Question

Android

I myself am from WEB development, recently wondered how to write scripts for Android. There was a task to write an auxiliary script WITHOUT an interface that could be compiled into APK and after installing and running it would work in the background performing its tasks.
Please tell me which way I should look, is it necessary to write an android application using android studio and set up a special config in it for scripts to work in the background, or is it worth using other tools for such a task.

Answer 1

You can write something like this in python, and build the apk manually, since there will be a lot of garbage in android studio, and most of the functions are not used.
