Note if you just interested in writing "Hello World" to a console for 
Android, you can still use the traditional Hello world program for Ada.

namely;

with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
procedure Hello is
begin
     Put_Line("Hello, world!");
end Hello;

You may have to root your phone to get this to execute, but it will run
and produce the desired output in a terminal console. It wont show up
as an app however.
