feat(apple,android): three-way touch input — trackpad cursor (default), direct pointer, real multi-touch passthrough
The two touch clients had exactly complementary gaps: iOS forwarded fingers
ONLY as raw wire touches (no way to drive the host cursor from the touch
screen), Android had the two mouse modes but no passthrough. Both now share
one three-way "Touch input" setting: Trackpad (default) / Direct pointer /
Touch passthrough.

iOS/iPadOS: Input/TouchMouse.swift ports the Android gesture engine 1:1
(same px-based acceleration curve; tap=click, two-finger tap=right-click,
two-finger drag=scroll, tap-then-drag=held drag, three-finger tap=stats
HUD via the shared hudEnabled default); direct-pointer mode maps through
the aspect-fit letterbox; the previous always-on behavior lives on as the
passthrough option. The mode latches per gesture (a Settings change never
splits one gesture across models), touchesCancelled releases held state
without synthesizing a click, and session stop flushes a mid-drag button.
Settings picker on iPhone + iPad next to the iPad-only pointer-capture
toggle. Deliberate default change: trackpad, not passthrough.

Android: new nativeSendTouch JNI shim → wire TouchDown/Move/Up (the host
already injects real touch on every backend — libei touchscreen, wlroots,
KWin fake-input, SendInput); streamTouchPassthrough forwards every finger
with stable ids and lifts still-held contacts on teardown; the trackpadMode
Boolean becomes the TouchMode enum (old pref migrated on load, never
rewritten) with a Settings dropdown.

Verified: macOS swift build + full suite (incl. new TouchMouseTests), iOS
Simulator Swift compile, cargo check/fmt/clippy on the native crate, Kotlin
app+kit compile + unit tests. On-glass feel of the iOS ballistics and
Android passthrough against a touch-aware app still pending.

punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)

The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).

Features

  • Hardware decode — NDK AMediaCodec HEVC → SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD.
  • Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
  • Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
  • Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
  • Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.

Built for arm64-v8a + x86_64.

Get it

Published to Google Play (Internal Testing) — join the beta via the Discord. Per-device setup and pairing: docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client.

How it's built — Rust-heavy

Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Build & run

Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0, build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 1721, not a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android x86_64-linux-android and cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 31).

Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.

CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):

export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"   # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug     # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug      # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup:  emulator -avd pf_phone   |   emulator -avd pf_tv

The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
