• Android port

    From Po Lu@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 17 20:02:46 2023
    I believe the Android port of Emacs is now more or less feature
    complete.

    It can be found on the feature/android branch of the Emacs repository,
    and should support all (mipsel, arm, armv7l, mips64, aarch64 and x86)
    Android devices capable of running Android 2.2 or later. You can obtain
    a check out of that code like so:

    $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git -b feature/android

    Please give it as much testing as you can on real hardware from many
    different Android vendors. Follow the instructions in INSTALL.android
    to build and install Emacs for your specific device. In addition,
    please submit patches and report editing modes that do not work well
    with the input methods of various on screen keyboards, along with other
    bugs, using ``M-x report-emacs-bug RET.''

    The answers to various common questions (such as ``how to access
    external storage'', or ``where does Emacs put its init.el'') are in the
    Android appendix of the Emacs manual in the branch.

    Prebuilt binaries will be made available shortly, but please do not
    expect them to contain all dependencies with which Emacs can be built.
    At present, I don't recommend using binaries from f-droid.org, since
    they are out of date, but I will ask the f-droid packagers to rectify
    that problem.

    Please post this to other newsgroups and forums frequented by Emacs
    users as well.
