Android
From Gentoo Wiki
Android is an operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and mainly used on smartphones, tablets and multimedia boxes. It mainly runs on the ARM 6 and 7 architecture, but it has also been ported to x86 and MIPS. It uses the Linux kernel with a custom userland which is Apache licensed.
Gentoo has some Android-specific packages:
- app-mobilephone/qtadb
- dev-util/android-ndk
- dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager
- dev-util/android-studio
- dev-util/android-tools
- sys-fs/android-file-transfer-linux
