+For example, a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (in its 32-bit
+execution state) device, can run the 32-bit ARMv7-A targeted binary. However,
+no model of Raspberry Pi 1 device can run either binary because they are all

Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executables
are not expected to work out of the box on Android.
