Android APK or APK/GUI if not already present #1885

Open Dragoon91786 opened 2 years ago

Dragoon91786 commented 2 years ago

I'd like to start implementing this new format on my android devices. Would it be possible to either have an .APK of the program that can then be run on a non-rooted device through a command line app? Or, more preferable, a GUI to accompany it so that we can start converting our raw files into a more bandwidth kind file format?

If the program is currently command-line-only, then I could see issues implementing it. But having an open source encoding/decoding (viewer) that can load up these files & convert them would be extremely helpful. Even just a GUI to enable converting/viewing the new file type more easily on Android could help broader adoption (barring native viewer/encoder support).

Since phones have become a primary source of image generation, offering a quick Android compatible GUI conversion & viewer app (particularly if it then enabled other file browsers to show thumbnails as a result) would enable more people to use it & thus potentially expand the window of use.

Thanks for your consideration!

I'm currently working on adding image conversion in my JPEG-XL Viewer for Android.

However, if you don't want to wait, you can use Termux to install libjxl tools and convert images without needing to root your device. You can even automate the process.

This is a bit out-of-scope for this github repo, nonetheless any sort of Android support is appreciated.
