Yes, its close enough for UI work, but not for work related to Android integration, like intents, permissions, build system etc. I'm not sure if anyone else but me ever built subsurface for android x86, and I haven't done that in 10+ years so I'll doubt I'll miss it. //Anton _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
