- Lenovo 8" Tab M8 TB-8505F (Hinge Health) Android 9 "Pie" Cortex-A53-2Ghz 2/32GB (No NFC)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" SM-T387T s/n R52M50MZR8V Android 10 Cortex-A53 4core 1.4GHZ 2/32GB (No NFC)
10" tablet from Patrice, maybe an ASUS? She was going to recycle it. Works perfectly. Something is very wrong with Western Civilization.
G Power phones are too big (I think) and run Android. I'd rather not support Google. I think our next phones will be feature phones.
The E4+ phones were fine, but the provider started requiring VoLTE (VOIP over LTE) and is shutting down CDMA to move to 5G. We got E4+ phones because they supported CDMA and that worked better in Astoria in 2017.
The Google Nexus phone was fine but supports only GSM and HSPA+ so it did not work well in Astoria. I had CyanogenMod on it for several years.
There's a 7" tablet that came on our Echelon bike in the closet. I removed it when the free subscription ran out.
Android development
Go
Go language or golang if you prefer
Writing services for Android in Go https://dennisforbes.ca/index.php/2014/03/19/go-golang-and-android/ I think the idea here is that you can replace C native code with GO. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/2kv0s1/go_14_on_android/
So it would be useful currently for example to talk to hardware.
Or maybe it could implement a tile downloader, that is, the network/concurrent part.
Settings
That ellipsis thing (three vertical dots) is called "Settings".
I want my app to show a menu when the user clicks on it, so I have to add a PreferencesActivity. I also need to associate the resources with it to define what shows up.
