Hello,
No, I tested on Android 14, brltty works and is usable. You can install
it from google play, so documentation is correct in this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.a11y.brltty.android&hl=en_US
I played with brlapi in Android and at least older releases are usable
with that simple tweak in build system which i mentioned.
My change causes, that libraries for all supported systems are generated
without version suffix, which is not good, we need it only for Android
libraries, i Did it only to test whether it will work with correctly
named libs.
With best
Peter

I thought in one of your previous messages you said you were
trying to use Android 7. In the documentation it says Android 8 is
required. I tried to install BRLTTY on Android 9 last fall, but I
never got it to work, although I can't remember exactly what error I
got. I'm not sure how you would install it in a virtual machine, but
Quick EMU does have Android 7, 8, and 9. I don't think BRLTTY is in
the Playstore like the documentation says.
Maybe I could try another experiment, but I would probably have to use
Android 9.

Good morning,
I made some progress with this, but still do not have working library,
so please, if someone has any idea what to do, then let me know.
I made my own build from latest source (master branch). I changed
common.mk, to have libraries without version suffix. More concretely, i
changed line
API_LIB_VERSIONED = $(API_LIB).$(API_VERSION)
to
API_LIB_VERSIONED = $(API_LIB)
And then
make clean
cfg-android -a arm64-v8a
make
I manually added resulting libraries and jar archive to my project and
successfully compiled.
I can now properly load library, but with another kind of crash.
Testing with this code in onclick method on one button:
ConnectionBase cb=null;
try {
cb=new ConnectionBase(new ConnectionSettings());
Shares.I.mTTS.say((cb==null)?"null":"have
instance"+cb.getModelIdentifier());
}catch(Exception e) {}
And it crashes whole virtual machine with this in log (removing
timestamp to make it readable ;)):
AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
AndroidRuntime: Process: xx.xx.xx, PID: 13299
AndroidRuntime: connect: No such file or directory

AndroidRuntime: at
org.a11y.brlapi.ConnectionBase.<init>(ConnectionBase.java:43)
AndroidRuntime: at
xx.xx.xx.UIMainScreen.onBatteryClick(UIMainScreen.java:497)
Please, let me know if someone has any ideas
Thank you
Peter
