I’m a proud owner of the XP-PEN Artist 10 Gen II and my first drawing program is Krita (PC) and I honestly love it!
I’ve already researched if Krita could be installed on a phone and that’s impossible at the moment because the screen size of phone’s are just to small.
But if I connect my Artist 10 to my phone it works as a second larger screen so that should solve the problem.
My question is, is it possible to install a version of Krita on my phone and use my Artist 10 as a screen and use it and if not, could it be made possible in the future?
Like for instance, it could be installed but if you don’t have a drawing tablet it automatically stops the program and if you have it, it shows on your drawing display.
I really love drawing outside and Krita is such a good program and made accessible for everyone, I honestly love it!
Krita doesn’t manage screens and other displays. If you can connect a screen drawing tablet to your phone or not, is entirely the responsibility of the phone and its operating system. To put it simply: Krita cannot make your tablet work with the phone, if the phone cannot do it itself. Krita does work on Android, even if the screen is technically too small and basically unusable.
To clarify everything, my drawing tablet works with my phone, no problem.
I just can’t get Krita to install on my phone because it’s not a tablet.
My question and request to the Krita team was:
Can you make Krita possible to install on every Android phone (Depends on the version of Android) and have the program detect if you have a drawing display tablet connected at the time to start Krita. So Krita would detect the second screen, accepts that the resolution and screen size is fine and starts.
Now I can’t install Krita because it’s build in detection knows I have a phone screen with lower resolution and screen size and wont let me install.
I don’t think Krita can really detect screens on android due to how it’s security systems is designed. How did you try installing it? You probably tried it from the play store and I think the play store does a check. But you should be able to download the APK from Krita.org and install it manually, circumventing the play store and it’s limitations. Unfortunately I have no android phone around to test this.
