Three steps and your game is available as an Android .apk file which you can copy and install and share. This works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
1. Make a .love (renamed .zip) of your game
2. Get Start Gamedev from qubodup.itch.io/startgamedev , extract it
3. Replace game.love in it with your game and run the make-apk script.
Now you just have to put the APK where you want it to be.

To change the icon, replace the icon.png file.
To change the name, replace "Game %datevar%" (Windows) or "Game $datevar" (OS X, Linux) in the first line that uses sed.
You will have to re-run the script then.
