Quick Android Question

[jl_678]

I am a Pine64 backer with a primary focus on a Linux home server use case.  However, I am also wondering whether I should get a second Pine64 for an Android use case.  That said, I have a super simple question that occurred to me last night.

Dose Android require a local monitor/screen? In other words, do you have to have a direct connected monitor and mouse to use Android on a Pine?  In Linux, I typically access the system either via remote a CLI through SSH or a remote desktop through VNC.  Does Android have those same concepts and is it easy to setup and run?  Having to have display hardware for a Pine64 Android instance is more than I can manage right now.

Thank you!

Android has an option for screen casting to a capable device (most Smart TVs).
Here you need dedicated mouse and keyboard.

Also, you can install a VNC server on Android. Google for "VNC server" on the play store for examples.

You could take a look at 'airdroid' or other related apps in the play store.

However I do not think they will be as open as remote access to other PC's/linux.

As the Pine64 should have root access (I think anyway), there is a VNC server app I recently looked at.

I haven't tried them, but they might be worth a try.

That is good to know its already unlocked/never locked, I have a few apps which require root access.

You have root access on the stock Android build that we released. If there is other Android build comes from other partners, then will depen on their willingness.
