I used ubports for a week once. I liked it. The only drawback is it lacked a handful of apps I needed (signal, authy, and anki I think)
A few years ago I heard they were working towards android app emulation. Might have been called Halium?

Hallium is an hardware enablement abstraction layer. We use it to port Ubuntu Touch and other OS, to devices that where built to run android.
We are not working towards android app emulation, we are working for running apps natively. We're doing this by using anbox, which basically is an minimal android image, with just enough to run apps, and that image is running inside an lxc container. However that is very hard to put it to work fully (access to sensors is one of the problems), and we have been asking for help with that.
