Raw editing on Android?

Although Android is not my primary editing platform, I increasingly find myself doing quick edits for online posting, on my tablet while on the road. I use Raw2DNG to convert my Canon raw to DNG and then use either Snapseed or Lightroom for processing. This works nicely since I can also capture the shots directly from the tablet with DSLR Controller. It is not perfect, but covers my use case (quick, on the road processing and sharing) until I get back to my proper setup (Darktable/Gimp).

@jinxos Yes, this is exactly how in do it too. Occasional raw images captured direct from phone camera, but usually just side load raw images from my OM-D via an OTG card reader, convert to dng with raw2dng, then into Snapseed for basic edit before posting online. However, I am finding that as I get to know Snapseed better, I can get more and more of a “real” edit done on my phone. So much so that I never actually get back around to making a final edit in Darktable, lol!

It seems like I always have piles of RAW files sitting on my desktop waiting for their turn to be processed. I am going to give Snapseed a try for sure! Thank you for sharing your experience!
