ConTeXt on android via "debian noroot"-App
Hello ConTeXt-Crew, thank you very much for this fantastic application. I'm a former LaTeX-user and now I can't imagine to go back ever. Recently I tried to install ConTeXt in an android smartphone with help of the app "debian noroot". Everything went fine and I'm able to compile documents, but all \framed-Commands lead to the error-message "tex error on line 2 in file...: !You can't use '\hrule' here except with leaders" The minimal example is: \starttext \framed{Hello} \stoptext I suspect the cause for this might be missing packages (metapost?). Can you give me any hint, what packages I have to install? I installed the ConTeXt Standalone from contextgarden and I'm running context version 2016.01.18 22:21 (ConTeXt Process Management 0.63). I already tried to install the package texlive-metapost, but it didn't help. Help would highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance Thomas Klein.

Did you used first-setup.sh ? Which platform luatex is using ? -- luigi

I'm unable to try this out both because my phone is too small and because I don't have sufficient internal memory. Maybe I could borrow a tablet and check. Just curious: how did you install this and which binaries were fetched? Did you use first-setup.sh that fetched linux-armel? Honestly I'm completely amazed that it worked at all without any additional work. If you installed "texlive-metapost", that probably put the metapost binary in a different location anyway and it might have problems communicating with ConTeXt. If you are able to install packages from debian, you could try "texlive-context" and see whether that one works. Mojca

Confirmed on linux-armhf armv7l, installed with first-setup.sh. luatex --version 0.87.0 context version 2016.01.18 -- luigi

luatex --version 0.87.0 context version 2016.01.18
I just tried it and exactly the same problem is also present on Raspberry PI (which is where the binaries were built). It might be a bit easier to debug there than on a phone. Mojca

that's probably old luatex source code

Can you please submit an abstract to the BachoTeX conference: http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/2016-en?set_language=en and present your work there? I believe that many people would be interested to see TeX working nicely on an Android device and it would make for a very nice discussion/brainstorming session about further improvements. The conference is completely family-friendly. Mojca
