Hi,
I had one question, so I have a bit of experience with Java and Angular. Now I wanted to develop an Application for a smartphone which has to communicate with a raspberry pie in order to display a few things. After researching a bit I found out that for raspberry pie development python is the most suited one. But I kind of do not know where to start? For starters which language would you advice to use for the smartphone side and where to start for the raspberry pie? For smartphone I thought of React-native due to it being cross plattform but I do not know if it is compatible with python.
How should I start especially with the raspberry pie side?

So I have my Raspberry Pi and while waiting to develop my Giant Flying Robot with it, I was wondering if we can use it to compile a kernel or ROM for one of my phones. I know it will be much slower than on Linux on x86 or the Mac, but I'm in no hurry.
I am fairly competent in building regular kernels for linux, but Android specific kernels are new to me and I want to to a few test runs.
Plus the other architectures need a cross compiler, where as the Pi is already using ARM processor. Don't know if the different versions need different compilers. I don't know where to start, so any suggestion are appreciated.

Start here:

Or here, because your raspberry is a real linux pc and you can use tutorials like this one:

Of cause the cpu is slow and it has a smal ram, but possible it's enough.
Try it!
Compile
if you also want to compile android:
It doesn`t work with Android, the needed time would be so high.... And you need many disk space.
By the Way:
The very Slim Linux Kernel took so many hours on my Pi. I woudn´t prefer it.
I'm thinking of buying a raspberry pi for learning programming and I wonder if it is possible to develop android apps and roms on the raspberry pi.
Probably the device is too weak but I thought that of running Quake 3 on the raspi, too.
So I am asking you if anyone has experiences with developing Android on the raspberry pi.
I hope you can help me.

Doesnt say anything about Android on the site.
Android will most likely never run on pi. As far as compiling android roms on the Linux platform. Feasible at best, with half gig ram I think it would take some time to compile, but I have no experience with that. What i have experienced.... nothing on pi is fast
OK, thanks. I think I will do a little Python programming and maybe a lego robot. Do you have suggestions what to do with GPIO exept from led?
check out the projects thread, I have one to run my charcoal smoker, reads three meats pid controller runs a fan to stoke the coals. I have one to run my sprinkler system in my garden, 4 zones on a timer,I want to add a moisture sensor to that and automate it
Either by swapping on a cheap USB 3.0 drive or by waiting a little longer, the RasPi should make a dirt-cheap nightly build server! Imagine compiling CyanogenMod overnight without spending more than 2W of power! And even faster by overclocking to 1GHz with a 3$ heatsink kit! :victory:
I was wondering, what would the benefits of using a raspberry pi over an old android for DIY hacking projects?
Also, bit more off topic, would it be possible to put a raspberry pi OS on an android? Like to use the phone as a computer board like a raspberry pi. Just a thought because they are both ARM devices with similar specs.

if its a android device with 700mhz and 512mb of ram (Not really that bad for an older phone) its probably not the best option because it has older hardwear, they might both be ARM but the pi cpu is a little newer and can be overclocked easier if you really need to, it Really is basically a cheap computer, you would be able to do most things better with the PI with more diy project options.
Now that we've got a quad-core 64 bit processor, as well as many handset connections and do-dads, are we any closer to a serviceable Android port for current releases?

Android is able to run also on Raspberry Pi 1, it is not a problem about SoC.. As we can see there are no Devs able to port Android to Raspberry Pi.

I'm actually interested in doing that. Just got my RBP3 and I will give a try and hopefully learn something.
Anyone interested to team up?
I saw a video of a guy running 5.x on Raspberry Pi 2 https://youtu.be/aSgQDhM84Ko
yeah i'm interested in teaming up. email me at [email protected] i already started to work on this.
Do you need specifically Android 5? peyo (can't post links - search for "peyo-hd" on GitHub) is doing great work with his CM repositories for RPi2 + RPi3. We also have a working image for RPi3 based on AOSP Android N Preview (again, no links... "RTAndroid" on GitHub). We also have downloadable images at our website.
Raspberry PI 3 is going to be supported officially by Google. So someone can port it for RPi2 too hopefully. Links:
Official Raspberry Pi 3 Twitter page
Google's AOSP repository for the Raspberry Pi 3

Wow, that is very exciting. I am developing an application for use on the AndroidOS/JM for remote data collection, SalmonCam (https://twitter.com/yatrafish). I've had problems coping with the subtle variations in manufacturer Android builds and hardware specificities. I am hoping that we can create custom ROMS for the Pi that are less phone-ish and more technical. Thanks.

Based on the fact that the repository is still empty, I think it will take a while until we have an official version. Would be pretty cool though.

That sounds amazing. Becoming more technical is exactly the reasoning behind RTAndroid. Although we gave up on RPi2 as it was super slow.

I agree totally, there is a significant need for a modern technical OS.
WinCE/PocketPC is the primary option where ruggedized field terminals with hardware buttons are needed. See http://www.junipersys.com/ for an example of the industry standard device.

I'm glad I finally found somebody with a similar opinion. We did actually contact several manufacturers/resellers of rugged tablets, but only a small part of them were interested in Android in general. And those who were told us they are happy with the normal AOSP. I never understood how they don't have any other requirements for those devices. May be customers are now yet aware of what is possible.

Not sure whether it has to be Android 5. There are several working images with support for Android N.
Hello,
in my organisation we're looking for an Android project, which would have support for Raspberry Pi 4B with the original 7" Raspberry Pi SPI display. So far I've stumbled upon OmniROM, which doesn't support it out-of-the-box, but in this thread I've seen somebody comment that it could theoretically work. Does anybody have idea on how to do it, or even if it's at all possible? If so, how long do you reckon We're also open to suggestions for other projects other than OmniROM.
Thanks!
