Comment (by sisbell):

 I updated the TOPL and android-tor-service code to fix this issue:

 https://github.com/sisbell/tor-android-
 service/commit/30a7a83c5e715eb7ef739870bc0ff615ad52daeb
 https://github.com/sisbell/Tor_Onion_Proxy_Library/commit/061b7e52310279cb70a125819d7abed8da66bfbe

 I verified with Orbot app that it is picking up user-defined bridges
 (using one I pulled from torproject bridges site). When the user does not
 define a bridge but enables bridges, I verified that it is using one of
 the random bridges during startup. The PT entries are also in the torrc
 file.

 The one case I'm not certain of (and the commits above don't handle), is
 if a user specifies a bridge type (like obfs4) as the first field in the
 'Bridge Addresses' TextField. Is this allowed?

 I also still need to test this on within the tor-browser-build.
