Android applications don't have a main(). I would recommend to first go
through a couple of Android app development tutorials, or through the
documentation about that.

This here is like the main(), but not completely:

Android has neither swing nor javafx. You have to use the APIs that it
provides, specifically android.view.View and android.view.Surface*
