Sideband: Custom Interfaces on Android

[Luabee]

I'd like to use this custom interface in Sideband on my mobile device but it doesn't seem possible. Maybe Sideband could allow custom Reticulum interfaces using the same plugins folder?

If there's a use-case for it, and people want it, it's relatively simple to add custom interface support to Sideband as well.

But, for an interface like the one linked, it will require some extra work from the custom interface author, since Android handles USB and Bluetooth connections very differently than desktop OSes. You can take a look in the Reticulum interfaces source code, where there are actually Android-specific versions for interfaces that deal with USB/serial/Bluetooth/BLE.

So the short version is, that the interface will need to add some extra logic to work on Android.

To clarify, do you mean this would be a simple change to the code, or is there a way to do this in the Android app config that I'm not aware of?
