+#+TITLE: My Emacs on Android Setup

+#+SUMMARY:
+
+Not too long ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I bought it
+mostly for browsing the internet and reading PDFs, but I've been using
+it a lot more for working in Emacs recently.
+
+With the help of Termux, I've gotten more or less a fully operational
+development and writing environment which has both a small size, and
+long battery life. With the use of a bluetooth keyboard, I have
+everything required to work, and comfortably at that. It's also
+possible to connect a bluetooth mouse, then enabling
+=xterm-mouse-mode=, but I rarely find that necessary.
+
+Thanks to the mostly frontend agnostic nature of Emacs, everything I
+would normally do on my desktop computer or laptop work almost
+identically when working from within Termux.
+
+I actually often find it much easier to write on my tablet than I do
+on my computer, since the fullscreen nature of Termux tends to stop me
+from getting distracted by other things I'm working on in the
+background.
+
+The first thing I had to do was install Emacs and git, which are as
+easy as running a single command.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC shell
+pkg install emacs git
+#+END_SRC
+
+Since I host my Emacs on [[https://github.com/dantecatalfamo/emacs.d][GitHub]], getting things started here is
+effortless. All I had to do was clone it onto my system, and open
+Emacs, it even sets itself up for use thanks to =use-package=, which
+installs all the required packages and dependencies without requiring
+my intervention.
+
+From there I'm able to much of the same things as I do anywhere
+else. For writing C, I installed =clang= and =gdb=, which are both
+available from the default repo as well.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC shell
+pkg install clang gdb
+#+END_SRC
+
+This setup works particularely well because of Emacs' excellent =gdb=
+debugging interface. Thanks to not needing any sort of graphical
+interface beyind Emacs, my ability to get things done is completely
+unhindered. I'm a huge fan of =gdb= mode, especially with =(setq
+gdb-many-windows t)=.
+
+I'm also able to work on my Org documents, which I store in a personal
+Nextcloud instance, thanks to =rclone=. I have two small scripts which
+I've written so I'm able to sync the files before I start editing
+them, and after I'm done.
+
+Setting up =rclone= to work with my nextcloud instance is incredibly
+easy and only took me a minute using [[https://rclone.org/webdav/][this]] guide from the =rclone=
+website.
+
+Both scripts are incredibly simple, consisting of a single line each.
+
+=nextcloud-pull.sh=
+#+BEGIN_SRC shell
+#!/bin/sh
+
+rclone sync -P -i nextcloud:Org Org
+#+END_SRC
+
+=nextcloud-push.sh=
+#+BEGIN_SRC shell
+#!/bin/sh
+
+rclone sync -P -i Org nextcloud:Org
+#+END_SRC
