Subject: [Galene] Galene client library for Java (Android)
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:36:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87qzgrwi3y.wl-jch@irif.fr> (raw)
Dear all,
I wanted to make some updates to the native client[1], and found out that
I am no longer able to compile it with a new version of Android Studio.
Unfortunately, the Android ecosystem is not friendly to free software: it
is not possible to maintain an Android app without being a full-time
Android developer.

For that reason, I've decided to abandon the native app. I've extracted
the Galene-specific code, and put it in its own repository[2] in case
somebody else wants to work on an Android native app.
[2]: https://github.com/jech/GaleneClientLibrary
Aside: the native app was a convenient way to have a conversation over
Galene without launching a full browswer. I really hope someone will
produce a convenient Android app, but I simply don't have the manpower to
deal with the gratuitious complexity of the Android ecosystem.
Sorry for that,
-- Juliusz
