(not strictly related to Frameworks 6, but this seems like a good point in time to discuss it)

Currently KIO is not functioning on Android.

There is an Android build of Koko, but it isn't functional since it uses KIO. @camiloh is also interested in using KIO in his Android apps.

Obviously the klauncher based codepath won't work on Android, but I think (a variant of) the slave forking codepath could be made working.

This requires to bundle the kioslave executable in the APK and execute it. While possible in theory I wasn't able to have a working KIO on Android yet.

If running an executable turns out infeasible we could also think about doing it in-process in a separate thread.
