Android developers needed!

Post by Praetorian »

Hi there!

We need Android developers to help out with the ScummVM Android port, and possibly become dedicated Android porters for ScummVM.

Outstanding tasks include:
  • Support for modern Android OS versions (11 or higher).
  • Merge with the ResidualVM Android app, and support for the 3d hardware accelerated engines that are now developed with ScummVM.
  • Storage Access Framework support and resolution of existing issues
  • Fixes for the pause / resume code
  • Work on portrait orientation mode issues
  • Improved virtual keyboard.
  • Text-to-Speech integration.
  • Look into Dynamic Delivery support.
  • More testing on actual devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs).
  • More testing on the extended Android ecosystem eg. devices such as Amazon's Kindle running FireOS.
Also, we encourage developers to offer their own solutions and/ or implement additional features to improve the port application.

Please, if you are someone who has experience on Android development or know someone who could help and you can reach out to them, please consider contributing to the ScummVM Android port!

You may find us on the official ScummVM discord or contact us via PM here (mainly Project Leader sev, and developer Praetorian (aka antoniou79 on discord)).

We're looking forward to working with you.
All the best,
The ScummVM team

It's been a while, so I think it's good to provide a 2021 status update on this.

We're still looking for a dedicated Android porter and experienced Android developers to help out with Android specific tasks and issues.
