Play-listing/marketing screenshots of the Compose client rendered on the host JVM by Roborazzi (Robolectric Native Graphics) — no emulator, GPU, KVM, host, or JNI core. Five scenes render the REAL composables with embedded mock state under a forced brand palette (Material You has no wallpaper to seed from on the JVM): hosts grid, settings, TOFU + PIN dialogs, and the live stats HUD. Validated 5/5 locally. - New JVM unit-test source set (app/src/test) + Roborazzi/Robolectric test deps; @Config(sdk=36) is mandatory (no android-all jar for compileSdk 37) and the animation clock is paused so a text-bearing scene reaches idle. - kit: `-PskipRustBuild` skips the cargo-ndk native build so the JVM-only test job needs no Rust/NDK; normal APK/AAR builds are unchanged. - Widen BrandDark / StatsOverlay to internal so the tests can use them. - Standalone best-effort tag-gated workflow; PNGs upload as a 30-day artifact.

punktfunk Android client
Native Android client for punktfunk/1, targeting phone + TV (Compose, D-pad + touch).
Architecture — Rust-heavy (like the Linux client, not thin-native like Apple)
Kotlin cannot 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 (clients/android/native → libpunktfunk_android.so) |
the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB→AMediaCodec decode, Opus+Oboe audio, VK keymap, latency math, trust/pairing, mDNS discovery (mdns-sd, the same browse the Linux/Windows clients use) |
Kotlin (clients/android) |
Compose UI (host grid / settings / stream), SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity, permissions |
The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridge ⇄ Java_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Prerequisites
- Android SDK + NDK r30 (
30.0.14904198),platforms;android-37.0,build-tools;37.0.0,cmake;3.22.1(sdkmanager "cmake;3.22.1"— thecmakecrate builds libopus with it) - JDK 21 for Gradle/AGP (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 17–21, not a newer default JDK like 25)
- Rust +
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android x86_64-linux-android+cargo install cargo-ndk
Toolchain pinned: AGP 9.2.0 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · targetSdk 36 · minSdk 31 · ABIs arm64-v8a + x86_64.
Build & run
Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21 automatically. The
cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.
CLI (point Gradle at a JDK 21 if your machine default is newer, e.g. JDK 25):
# Adoptium/Temurin 21 (installed by the Android Studio setup, or `brew install temurin@21`):
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug # onto a running emulator/device
# Emulators (created during 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 from the list, pair,
and stream.
Status
A working native client (phone + Android TV), at parity with the Linux and Apple apps for the core streaming experience:
- Video —
AMediaCodechardware HEVC decode →SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency decode tuning and a live stats HUD. - Audio — Opus + Oboe playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
- Input — game controllers (buttons + axes) with rumble and HID feedback; D-pad / game-controller focus navigation for the couch (TV + phone).
- Discovery & trust — native
mdns-sdmDNS host list (polled over JNI; the same browse the Linux/Windows clients use, notNsdManager), SPAKE2 PIN pairing and TOFU, with a Keystore-wrapped client identity and a known-host store. - UI — Compose host list / settings / stream screens, Material You theming.
- Shipping — built for
arm64-v8a+x86_64; published to Google Play (Internal Testing).
crates/punktfunk-core uses the ring rcgen backend so the client .so is aws-lc-free.
