The client functions as the system's frontend, granting us with access to all functionalities of the AO.space. It encompasses Web, iOS, Android platforms, providing the following key modules:

• End-to-End Encryption Channel
• Files
• Devices
• Space Application
• Developer Options
• Security

The Android client is developed using the Java language and adopts the MVP architecture design pattern. The service layer encapsulates functions such as device binding, code scanning authorization, file management, file upload/download, transmission list management, video playback, document preview, platform environment switching, and system upgrade. The data persistence layer uses SQLite, SharedPreference, and binary files to store local data such as file metadata, application configuration information, and cache files.

Through the LAN management module to determine the current network environment, in the same LAN in a direct connection to directly access the space server, in the non-LAN environment, through the platform to access the space server.

The Android client supports quick login on other terminal devices by scanning code authorization, making it easy for users to use multiple platforms anytime and anywhere.

• Install Java Development Kit (JDK) and configure the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
