Leo on Android!

[Luka]

It is now possible to run Leo on Android!

Software configuration: pydroid, pyqt5 and ministro 2. Pyqt5 was installed from pydroid quick install, ministro 2 was requested the first time pyqt5 was imported. Leo was installed with pip. Some dirty hacks:

1. Comment block at line 991 of leoApp.py:
if sys.stdout.encoding and sys.stdout.encoding.lower() != 'utf-8':
Error is produced otherwise

2. Import PyQt5 before Leo:
import PyQt5
import leo
leo.run()

There are some problems with initial window size, but after changing smartphone orientation it seems to resize properly.

It seems to work fine, though no in depth testing was carried out. I am not a programmer, just a user, so maybe there is much more elegant way to run Leo on Android. Still, consider it as a proof of concept.

That's great!  Looks like it's time to check out an Android emulator.  Do you have a favorite?

Really cool... At some time I plan to test Leo running on my tablet.

Cheers,

Edward, actually I don't use Android emulator. May be an official emulator which is included in Android Studio is a good point to start.

I am also not sure that pydroid is a best option to run Leo on Android. It seem that pyqtdeploy is better solution. It claims iOS support also.

Wow, that's awesome! I've wanted that for a long time, but didn't think it could be easily done.
