KiCad Android 10.99an

KiCad Android is now for Android and Googlebook OS. Dialogs get a frame and a title bar you can drag.

Android and Googlebook OS

• The same APK is meant for Android tablets, foldables and phones, and for Googlebook OS laptops, which run Android apps. It needs arm64 and Android 10 or newer.
• It has not been tried on a Googlebook yet. If you have one, please report how it goes.
• A new README picture shows the app on a laptop and on a tablet.

Dialogs

• Every KiCad dialog has a frame and a title bar with its title and a close button (message boxes keep Android's own look). Before, dialogs were bare rectangles, and on the dark theme their edges were hard to see.
• Drag the title bar to move a dialog, with a finger or the mouse. The title bar stays below the status bar and on the screen, so you can always grab it again.
• The × closes the dialog, the same as Escape or Cancel.
• Dialogs stay between the status bar and the navigation bar or taskbar. Tall dialogs, such as Plot and Symbol Properties, opened partly under the status bar, with their buttons cut off at the bottom. They are now made to fit.

Fixes

• Calculator: the dot in "Ω·m" showed as an empty box.
• First start: the KiCad Setup wizard had no title bar.

Known issues

• kicad_screenshot (MCP) doesn't draw the dialog frames; the screen itself has them.
• Dialogs can't be resized from their edges yet.
• The BACK key sends the app to the background from the 3D viewer.
• The presets list in Select Layer Pair is squashed.
• In Preferences > Hotkeys some names are cut short in the middle ("Move B...rd Down").
