Add support for Android Emacs using Termux
Add support for pdf-tools-install in Android Emacs using Termux. The dependencies for android in autobuild can not be installed in pdf-tools-install, they have to be installed manually in Termux. But the dependencies are checked when running autobuild.
pdf-tools-install successfully installs epdfinfo in Android Emacs. One can then view pdf files.
The shebang in autobuild does not work in Termux, I therefore had to create a separate script "autobuild.android" that in turn executes autobuild. The problem with the shebang is that "env" in Termux is not located at "/usr/bin/env".
pdf-tools/Makefile does currently not work in Android Emacs, but it is not needed for running pdf-tools-install. Fixing this will have to be done in a separate pull request, if deemed necessary. Reason: There is yet no consensus for how to implement a command line emacs, to be run in batch mode, in Android Emacs.
I have successfully run "make test" in Ubuntu, in the repo feature branch. Running "make server-test" in the master branch fails, so I have not tested this in the feature branch.
Thanks! I'll review this and let you know.
The change looks fine. I'll test it and perhaps add a disclaimer that this is not an officially supported platform.
Glad to hear. One thing to be aware of: Android touchscreen gestures currently do not have a good emulation of mouse wheel scroll. What happens when one puts the finger on the display and then slides the finger, is that there is an initial mouse click, then scroll events. As pdf-tools listens for mouse clicks, and then changes mode, this hinders scrolling with the finger. One can still scroll with a bluetooth mouse wheel. And one can of course use a keyboard to scroll stepwise.

Exactly what I was looking for ! The fork lets me built epdfinfo server correctly.
