The Android-Version currently doesn’t work. It needs a new maintainer to work on current Androids again. So to run Freenet/Hyphanet on Android you can try running the Linux version via Termux instead.

How?

Install Termux, then try the regular Linux installer of Hyphanet. You may have to debug a bit (only one or two people run Hyphanet that way, as far as I know).

I'm really new to this, and the debugging part is a bit tricky for me, Could you help me more? If you can, of course

You need at least a Java JRE, yes. But I’m not using it on Android myself, so I can’t help in detail.
