[BRLTTY] Android BRLTTY problem

>I used "auto-detect driver selection".
>Ok, after selecting the "Voyager" driver it worked better.

For a reason that I can't recall, the Voyager driver isn't in the list of 
drivers that's checked for during autodetection when using Bluetooth. The most 
likely reason is that adding it to that list wasn't able to be tested.

>Although, I did not find the "Home" and "Back" default Android keys :)

As you may know from the documentation, function keys are used for these 
actions. F1 is used for Home, and F2 is used for Back. The way F1-F12 has been 
done for the BP is to use Space+Shift+letter, where letter is A-L. So, for 
example, since Home is F1, it'd be Space+Sh9ift+Dot1.

>Exact name in my case:
>EL12-00:A0:96:16:81:A3

I've added this to brltty's Bluetooth name table, and pointed it to trying both 
the Alva and Voyager drivers. brltyt-latest.apk has now been updated to the 
latest code, which includes this change.

>But, it must be known that I have access to Android's source code and
>I can insert a debug print wherever I need.
>This will not work for all users :(

Including myself. :-(
