Sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately, I don't have much time either.

My main tech stack is Flutter (UI Framework) and Android Native.

Typically, the compilation of an Android app differs significantly from C/C++ and requires the Java environment and Gradle.

So, from my current perspective, it seems quite difficult to make the Sunshine workflow directly produce an APK.

Additionally, I'm concerned that my lack of proficiency in C/C++ might disrupt the original workflow, so I plan to submit PRs in multiple stages.

However, I can start with some compilation adaptations to ensure that future Sunshine APKs for Android can be imported and compiled smoothly.

As seen in the patches, I can now directly use the Sunshine Source along with a Patch Script to make Android compilation work properly.

My initial idea is to submit these patches to Sunshine so that the Android-compiled Sunshine and the Sunshine source code can remain consistent.

Additionally, I’d like to share some recent comparisons with scrcpy.

I’ve studied a lot of scrcpy’s code. In fact, scrcpy is already very efficient. It’s possible that the client’s use of SDL2 results in rendering that’s not as extremely efficient (just a guess). However, in terms of the server side, scrcpy and the ported Sunshine for Android should be roughly the same.

That said, porting to Android still has significant value because it allows users to use Moonlight to stream their Android devices.

I will continue to push this process forward.

It looks like this PR has been idle for 90 days. If it's still something you're working on or would like to pursue, please leave a comment or update your branch. Otherwise, we'll be closing this PR in 10 days to reduce our backlog. Thanks!

I've been too busy recently and have no idea how to move this PR forward. I used to open it occasionally, but there has been no progress on the parts awaiting review. So I haven't paid much attention to it since then.

@mengyanshou there's a few comments above that haven't been addressed yet. I'd be happy to discuss in discord if there is some confusion to clear up?

[ReenigneArcher]

The same comments still apply.

[mengyanshou]

Sorry, my hand was shaking and I clicked the wrong one. But I think most of them should be the reviews waiting for a reply on my side. If these changes are accepted, I will modify these reviews as resolved to proceed with the subsequent merge.

Then regarding one of the Todos, I currently don't know how to implement it, but I think it's necessary to keep the todo.

[ReenigneArcher]

Don't worry about the TODO warning, those are okay.

[mengyanshou]

Next, what can I do to help move forward? I have very little time recently and should not be able to continue submitting changes to the code until next month. Then, thank you for your cooperation @ReenigneArcher

If possible @FrogTheFrog, could you check the updated logging section?

LGTM

[mengyanshou]

Seems pretty good to me. In addition to my one question below, I have one more. If possible @FrogTheFrog, could you check the updated logging section?

What would it take to compile this in our CI (understanding no apk would be provided yet)? Could you provide instructions either here or in https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/blob/master/docs/building.md

Regarding CI, as mentioned above, if it's a binary, we would need to compile the entire Sunshine using NDK, which is more complex and requires additional code. If it's an APK, we would need to introduce gradle for compilation. However, we're still in the very early stages - I've only merged some Android-compatible code into Sunshine, but currently we cannot compile either an APK or binary with these changes. Therefore, CI work will need to wait until the entire Android compatibility code is completed. The initial idea is to make it compatible with Android while not affecting any of Sunshine's original code
