Start an X11 Server
android.intent.action.VIEW
This intention is used to allow X11 applications to be able to launch an X server as a prerrequisite for other applications. The URI is specified as, for example, x11://localhost:6000, where usually localhost is the bind address and 6000 means a port number … An uri of x11://localhost:6100 would usually mean that the environment variable DISPLAY for the application would have been set to DISPLAY=localhost:100.

public void startStartAnX11Server() { Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW"); intent.setData(dataUri); // x11://host:port if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) { startActivity(intent); } }
