Yes, BrlAPI works on Android. It listens on the main BrlAPI port via a
localhost TCP/IP socket. In other words, you need to tell BrlAPI to connect to
localhost:0 (or 127.0.0.1:0).

Brltty provides Java bindings, which are what you want to use on Android. They
aren't yet distributed. If you have any trouble building them then I can try
providing a jar.
