- scripts/setup-android-sdk.sh installs fixed versions of the Android
command-line tools (checksum verified), platform 34, build-tools
34.0.0 and NDK 28.2
- packaging/android/Containerfile + scripts/build-apk-container.sh build
the APK in a container (podman or docker) with JDK 17 and Rust 1.99
- New CI job "Android APK (experimental)": builds the APK and keeps it
as a workflow artifact, signed with the key from the secrets
ANDROID_KEYSTORE_B64/ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASS/ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS if set.
Not part of the release yet; its failure doesn't block the release.

InkActivity extends NativeActivity:
- An invisible view with its own input connection receives the soft
keyboard's text (commitText, deleteSurroundingText), so characters
without a key event (umlauts by long press, ...) arrive as well. The
field is a visible-password field, so keyboards commit each character
instead of composing words.
- Import and "insert image" open the system file dialog
(ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT); the chosen file is copied to the cache folder
and handed to Rust by path.
src/android_bridge.rs calls the activity through JNI and receives its
native calls; package-android.sh compiles the class with javac and d8.

- The drawing surface is created once the native window exists (Resumed)
and released when the app goes to the background (Suspended); before
that everything is saved, as Android may stop the app at any time
- Android's back button acts like Escape instead of closing the app
- Panics are written to logcat; no update check on Android yet
- scripts/package-android.sh builds target/ink-notes_<version>_arm64.apk
without Gradle (NDK, aapt2, zipalign, apksigner); signing key from
ANDROID_KEYSTORE/ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASS/ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS, otherwise
the debug key
