Anything I should know if I want to make a standalone android app?
Basically what I want to do is make an android apk once I get done writing. Something that can stand alone be installed and no 'open your file manager and go to' just double tap and go.
What do I need to keep in mind for that as an end goal?
Features I know I will want regardless of language used. Maybe doable in a story wide stylesheet?
Any sort of save/load/chapter functions on a slide open from the side to maximize screen real estate.
Fixed orientation. That is if my phone/tablet tilts the thing stays in portrait orientation rather than trying to reorient all the text.
Some way for the app to remember current position if you exit out then reopen or switch apps and go back after it's been unloaded from memory by android.
I have a story in mind but I do not know what I will need features wise. This is all aimed at the medium it is presented in.

Not sure about implementing those specific features, but my recommendation is to start with small sample tests that you port to mobile to make sure the functionality is there.
Best of luck!
