It worked for me.  But I will ask someone to look into this, as changing
the Java class path should not be necessary.

Perhaps you should try to adjust touch-screen.el to suit your
preferences; I'd be happy to see the changes.

Would you read and try to understand the code in src/android*.c, along
with the Java and resource XML files?  I'd like to see if the
documentation that has been written is sufficient for other Android
developers to understand.

Finally, we require copyright assignment to the FSF for changes to GNU
Emacs, which assists the FSF in its enforcement of the conditions placed
by the GPL on its redistribution.  If you will be working on Emacs, it
would be prudent to start the paperwork now, as we cannot accept any
significant changes before it is complete.

Eli, could you send Ayanokoji-san the assignment forms?

TIA.
