Hi!

Just a simple question. I have heard that it have been some small issues with jSerialComm on Android. Are the issues still there?

I have some plans that I might need to use jSerialComm with GluonHQ framework for creating Android apps. GluonHQ uses Java 8.

Hey there! This library still only works on rooted Android devices (not generic devices and not apps distributed through an app store). This is due to the Android OS not allowing direct access to serial ports, so it is unlikely to be fixed in a portable manner until they provide a way for such access. Sorry, but thanks for the question!
