# 016 — What Android parity would actually take

> **Status: A1, A2 and A3 are done** (commit "let the app reach the

Plan 015 shipped a *pipeline*: the app cross-compiles, is signed and
|
||||
versioned, and publishes from CI. This is the assessment of what stands
|
||||
between that and an Android app worth installing.

|
||||
wizard still blocks pointer events, so an Android user sees a dead
|
||||
screen rather than a sentence. Even under option 3 this is the right
|
||||
behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is left (updated after A1-A3)
|
||||
|
||||
**A4, playback that survives the screen locking.** The manifest and the
|
||||
service are typed `mediaPlayback` now and the permission is declared,
|
||||
so the foundation is in place; what is missing is a `MediaSession`, a
|
||||
transport notification and audio-focus handling. The plumbing for it
|
||||
exists and needs no new JNI: Go can call
|
||||
`application.Android.StartForegroundService(json)` (exported by Wails),
|
||||
and Java can call `WailsBridge.emitEvent(name, json)` back into the
|
||||
application event bus, which Go subscribes to. So the shape is a JSON
|
||||
payload of title/artist/state going out and transport commands coming
|
||||
back, with `backend/mediacontrols` gaining an Android handler beside
|
||||
the MPRIS one — the interface it already defines is the right shape.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio focus is the half that is easy to forget and the more important
|
||||
one: pause on a phone call, duck for a notification, pause on headphone
|
||||
unplug. `oto` will happily keep writing to a stream nobody can hear.
|
||||
|
||||
**B1, the x86_64 half of the APK**, which cannot run on any Android
|
||||
because of the modernc `lstat` seccomp trap. Still undecided; dropping
|
||||
it is a five-minute change that halves the artifact.
|
||||
|
||||
**B2, the desktop shell.** Untouched and the largest remaining piece.
|
||||
|
||||
**B3/B4** are unchanged, and B3 is now *possible* where it was not:
|
||||
with all-files access, `tagwriter` can write in place.
|
||||
|
||||
### What A1-A3 did not answer
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing here has been observed on a device. The permission flow in
|
||||
particular is the kind of thing that behaves differently across OEM
|
||||
builds — `ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION` is
|
||||
implemented inconsistently, which is why there is a fallback to the
|
||||
global list, and neither path has been exercised.
