Well, we do intend to have OONI working on android, I'm not aware of
any progress in this area yet.

Isis mentioned that she had taken a look with abel and had some notes
on the topic.

While poking around the interwebs I stumbled across kivy.org. Has

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android
https://github.com/kivy/kivy

It sounds good. Any idea if it works?
