# Omnigent Android Thin Kotlin/`WebView` shell for Omnigent. Like the Electron app and the iOS shell (`web/ios`), this target loads the server-served web UI instead of shipping a duplicate copy of the SPA. It is a native _shell_, not a rewrite. ## Development Open `web/android` in Android Studio (Ladybug / AGP 8.6+) and run the `app` configuration on an API 34/35 emulator. Requires JDK 17 and the Android SDK (`compileSdk 35`, `minSdk 28`). Debug builds permit cleartext (`http://`) to localhost and private-range hosts via `res/xml/network_security_config.xml` for local development; release builds keep the platform default (HTTPS only), mirroring the iOS `NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent` debug-only posture. ## How it relates to the web bundle The same `web/` bundle runs in a browser tab, the Electron shell, the iOS WKWebView shell, and this Android WebView. Detection is feature-based at runtime via `window.omnigentNative` — see `web/src/lib/nativeBridge.ts`. This shell injects that object with `kind: "android"`; the web layer needs no per-feature branching beyond the `kind` discriminator (`isAndroidShell()`). The web→native transport is a `WebViewCompat.addWebMessageListener` channel (`OmnigentBridgeListener`) **origin-allowlisted to the pinned server** and gated on `isMainFrame`, rather than `addJavascriptInterface`. This is the structural equivalent of the iOS bridge's frame-origin + `isMainFrame` check: the transport object is never delivered to a sandboxed / cross-origin agent-HTML iframe, so an injected artifact can't reach the native surface. ## Scope (first version) Provides native setup chrome (server entry + recent servers via `ConnectActivity`), `WebView` loading, foreground local notifications with tap routing back into the SPA, a best-effort app badge, edge-to-edge inset plumbing (measured insets injected as `--omnigent-android-safe-area-*`, consumed by the web inset system), correct system-back / predictive-back handling, file downloads — including `blob:` / `data:` exports via a fetch→base64→MediaStore bridge, which closes omnigent-ai/omnigent#969 (the iOS shell drops these) — file **uploads** (`` via `WebChromeClient.onShowFileChooser`), and **microphone** capture for voice input (`onPermissionRequest`, granted to the pinned origin only, with a runtime `RECORD_AUDIO` request). ### Deliberately deferred to the web in-page fallbacks These are iOS-only native chrome; the SPA already renders its own equivalents when the bridge methods are absent, so the Android shell omits them for now: - **Interactive sidebar edge-swipe drawer.** Not portable: on Android 10+ the system back gesture owns both screen edges, and `View.setSystemGestureExclusionRects()` does not apply to it. The sidebar opens from the in-page hamburger, exactly as in a browser tab. - **Native floating server switcher** and **Chat/Terminal bar.** Rendered in-page by the SPA. ### Known parity gaps - **App badge count.** Android has no universal numeric badge API. We set `NotificationCompat.setNumber()` (shown by some launchers; AOSP/Pixel shows only a dot) and treat the notification dot as the guaranteed surface. `setBadgeCount(0)` is a no-op — we do not cancel notifications to clear a badge. ## Distribution Gradle assembles a release APK/AAB; `fastlane` (Android) automates signing and upload. Google Play restricts "WebView of a website" apps, so the initial channel is direct APK / F-Droid; a user-configured server client is a stronger Play case but review is unpredictable for this category. > Status: builds clean — `gradlew :app:assembleDebug :app:lintDebug` produces a > debug APK with 0 lint errors (JDK 17, Gradle 8.9 wrapper, `compileSdk 35`). > Implementation for omnigent-ai/omnigent#1604; not yet exercised on a device > (no runtime/instrumented testing here), so treat device behavior as unverified.
