It would be cool to have an Android port but I don't own any Android devices. LeoCAD runs on iOS so it may be just a matter of compiling for Android and it will "work", have you tried it?

In this case F-Droid community could help. I has Android 6.0 at least and could test it, but I can't make port or write code for it.
Think, this is long term target. Will digg more in F-Droid ecosystem.
For now I will try make some UI mocaps for it.
Thanks to @trevorsandy, ARM support for LeoCAD coming soon?!

New topic "LDraw Mobile Client"
@leozide @Symbian9 I run Android devices exclusvely and could help compile iterations of the project. I purchased a Galaxy S10+ recently becasue of Linux on Dex and have managed to run it on LoD and compile it.
Where should i start?
I imagine it compiles without a lot of work, I had it compiling and running on my iPad a while ago. The problem is it looks just like the desktop version with menus and small buttons. The UI needs to be completely redesigned for small touch devices.
@leozide of course, if you're talking about using it directly on he device itself. I've had it compile on arm64 recently (we had spoken about it) and a more realistic approach would be to have it over MHL or some kind of projection dock (DeX and the likes) and use it with normal peripherals.
This doesn't exclude the fact that if you're running on a large enough device (screen wise, such as an ipad or android tabled) the use of bluetooth peripherals and pens is now a common reality and should provide enough for the user to edit without any trouble.

already built it myself a while ago, it already builds by default @Symbian9
adding Buf3D as a reference android application: it reads loads and parses LDraw files amazingly well and does so natively on android using the ldraw parts library.
it may just be possible after all :)

any chance a sample build target project could be put together for me to see what gives? I could give feedback on the experience
The UI needs to be completely redesigned for small touch devices.
There could be two UI modes, for Desktop and Mobile.
See, OpenOrienteering Mapper
The “Touch Mode” is an alternative user interface which is always active on Android devices. It can be activated on PCs, too.
Hope, there is a way for porting LeoCAD on Android platform.
As example, look how OpenOrienteering Mapper ported on Android
