I referred to your example and the Android phone is now:

[Interface]
Address = 192.168.19.30/32
DNS = 192.168.87.1, 192.168.87.2
PrivateKey = xxx

[Peer]
PublicKey = xxx
AllowedIPs = 192.168.19.1/32, 192.168.86.0/23
Endpoint = myhomeIP:4999
PresharedKey = xxx

192.168.19.1/32 is my wireguard-IP address of my wireguard-server at home.

It work nicely if the Android phone is on 4G network. But it still 
failed when I connect to my LAN's Wi-Fi (no internet accessing and no 
LAN accessing). The phone got the LAN IP address 192.168.87.11/24 from 
the DHCP server.

Maybe the routing implementation in Android doesn't fit this solution.

Anyway, thank you very much. :)
