android version and download page

[Leopold Perné]

Hi,

<https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation> contains links
to individual pages for various J versions,
for example <https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/J9.7>,
where the section "Download and Install"
links to a page for windows and one for everyone else,
<https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/J9.7/Zips>,
and there is no link to the android apk anywhere.

Please put the android apk links (such as
<http://jsoftware.com/download/j9.7/install/j9.7.0-beta8_android.apk>)
there too.

The page about android, <https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Android>,
is outdated for over a decade now (links to repos like
<https://github.com/mdykman/jconsole_for_android>).

Please, replace the entire page with a link to the apk and a short
explanation how to install apks on android:
- download the .apk file to your phone
- grant your android file manager the permission to "install unknown apps";
this is not listed with the other "permissions" of the file manager
app, but as a separate option;
there should also be a specific android settings page "install
unknown apps", where all
apps with this permsssion can be selected

when trying to install J without having this set, it should
automatically prompt you to grant this permssion

after installing J this permission should be removed again
- open the .apk file in your android file manager (it might ask
whether to open it with "package installer", say yes), then "install"
- if "unsafe app blocked" go to "more details" and click "install anyway"
- you might be asked to enter your pin to install the app
- (remove the file manager's permission to "install unknown apps")
- open the J app


The boxdrawings look horrible (do not align) in the android app.
please fix this and, in the meantime, mention the workaround on the
android page: run `boxdraw_j_ 1`


On <http://jsoftware.com/download/> are some empty folders: "9.5", "9.6", "9.7"
what is their purpose? the acutally used folders for these versions
are "j9.5" etc.
are they links and just don't redirect in the web interface, is there
a tooling issue,...?

regards
