Description

A popular tor app on Android is Orbot, and they offer a SOCKS5 proxy. Under advanced, it would be nice if there was an option to route over tor through Orbot. I think it should use the .onion url when this is selected.

The proxy could be a generic one where users can enter a host/port or a switch to route over tor, or both.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android app's Advanced settings and network or proxy configuration. Review how Orbot's SOCKS5 proxy and .onion URLs would be selected, then clarify whether the feature supports a Tor switch, generic host and port fields, or both; done means the chosen routing works reliably.
