[NTLK] Einstein on Android

> Hi, long time no hear I know - 
> I've been away for a while but noticed a flurry of activity as of late with Project Einstein, so I figured I'd better see what's new.
>  
> I looked on the GitHub page but didn't see anything for Android - have you gotten something put together for it, or am I just not looking in the right place?  
>  
> I'm still running an old Galaxy Note 3 with Lollipop.  The last build for that is still running flawlessly.  The only issue I had was that there isn't external keyboard support.  ...rather, I couldn't get my Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard to work with Einstein and NewtWorks.  I hadn't tried it with a USB keyboard.

> Off-topic a bit, I'll be putting some of my other Newton items up for sale on here soon - I just need to inventory what I have.

> Hi guys,
> 
> So I pushed changes to compile Einstein for Android using the Android Studio setup. This works now (after some neat little pitfalls) surprisingly well. Particularly, debugging Java and Native code "just works".
> 
> It runs on the Emulator, but not on 64bit device (Android S7). It seems that UInt32 is actually 64 bits long which causes immediate chaos in the JIT emulation.
> 
> To run this, don;t forget to explicitly give the app write permission to external memeory and upload the ROM and REX files to /sdcard/Download/Einstein/
> 
> Any help is greatly appreciated. I will also fiddle on myself.
