Hello everyone, i have been busy trying to get java working an ubuntu touch.

The approach i am using is by packaging OpenJDK binaries with the click package and linking to it in the .desktop file.

i got this approach working in amd64 with "clickable desktop" and even made a working window/UI in swing.

however i have run into some problems with arm64 and armf.

first of all i don't have a phone that supports armf UBTouch so i can't test the build, i was hoping someone here could test it for me?

Second of all, i cant seem to find any arm64 binaries for openjdk that work portably, does anyone know where to find it or how to cross-compile it for arm64 on amd64?

Heres a screenshot of the amd64 build:

Click downloads:

amd64(https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EGq5kHdh7KdtqCKrpBJB2SzWZjWYnIfg)
arm64(https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IGhc0XXfiUH8eL8FiEmoxAC_kkLTyBes)

Update: so i found available arm64 binaries but after installing the updated click package on my oneplus3t it immediately closes itself, does anyone maybe know why?

Aight, i fixed it

i couldnt reinstall anbox-ubuntu-touch becausr on of the folders was in use, after unmounting it using umount i could reinstall it

i dont own the phone in quesion myself but i think this is normal with halium.
you have to give ubuntu touch the correct premissions.

you have to ssh or telnet into the phone and run these commands:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo -i # And enter your password
cat /var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/ueventd*.rc|grep ^/dev|sed -e 's/^\/dev\///'|awk '{printf "ACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"%s\", OWNER=\"%s\", GROUP=\"%s\", MODE=\"%s\"\n",$1,$3,$4,$2}' | sed -e 's/\r//' >/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/70-[codename].rules

and change the [codename] to your devices codename, then do a reboot.

As described in the docs:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/running-ut.html

i just build a couple of apps for arm64.
the link includes:

-Webapp creator
-Gearboy (gameboy emulator)
-GearSystem (GameGear emulator)
-Tedit

hello everyone, i recently decided to turn my old laptop in an app development device for ubuntu touch.

i installed the amd64 rootfs found here:
https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-generic-amd64/
(yes, i know its still unstable)

when booting it i found out it doesnt have a terminal app, i build the terminal app for amd64 using clickable but i still need a terminal to install it.

is there any way to install a click package without terminal?

hello everyone, I recebtly stumbled across this project named QTWebflix.
it allows you to watch netflix and other streaming services on Linux.
it seems to be viable for Ubuntu touch, it uses Qt+QtWebengine and qmake.

I was planning on porting it myself but I have no idea where to start, is there a guide somewhere on how to build Qt+qmake applications to Ubuntu touch?

any help is greatly appriciated

@doniks its just a .img file contained in a .gz
just extract the .gz file and flash the resulting image onto a USB drive (or a harddrive depending on if you'd wanna install it as main os)
