Android X Server Update: July 10, 2020

[GeneMosher]

Sergii Pylypenko's initial version of the Android X Server for ViewTouch works only on Android versions 8 or earlier. Sergii's followup version, released in July, 2020 works on Android versions 9 and later. Both of these can be easily installed on one's tablet or phone by scanning the appropriate QR-Code at http://www.viewtouch.com/nc.html It may well be that the new version can also be used on Android versions 8 or earlier but I have not tested this yet or heard from anyone who has. The new version has several nice improvements, too.

The ViewTouch X Server for Android is, of course, the remote display/input session which turns a tablet or smartphone into a portable ViewTouch Point of Sale device. Note that a tablet or smartphone must support the ViewTouch default display resolution of 1920 x 1080 or better. This new code defaults to 24-bit video, dispenses with the startup dialog and includes the ViewTouch bit-mapped fonts, allowing for a much faster startup !
