The first of my clients to try to run my android app on a chromebook reports that

it starts with a tiny screen, which never gets resized even by the maximize

button.

Having an app size option other than full screen seems like something novel

for the android environment.

I think we can easily fix this: https://developer.android.com/topic/arc/screen-size-comp

We just need to add to our android:configChanges the fields smallestScreenSize|screenLayout. We already handle resizing and automatically adapt the layout so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Chromebooks also have a touchpad, so they would provide pointer

positioning events, unlike most android devices.

We support such events in desktop and our JavaScript port (which supports Chromebooks).

Also of note, I see that iOS 13 is going to allow bluetooth mice to be attached.

iOS apps can now run on Macs. Hopefully we'll support that too.
