Does any one of this work involve getting encrypted card readers working in the Java SDK?

No. Pl. see the below response sent earlier.
Hope this helps.

Check out https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sdk-mpos-android/blob/master/src/net/authorize/aim/Transaction.java. If you search for CARD_PRESENT_ENCRYPTED you can see where all the API fields are set.

Sure, except that's not this repo.

Here is the repo: https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sdk-mpos-android

It also comes with a sample app. You need to follow IDTech’s developer guide to integrate with their SDK into your app, retrieved the encrypted cardnumber values and pass the values to Authorize.net SDK for transaction. Our sampleapp covers how to pass the values to Authorize.net SDK.

You can see if those channels can help you get the readers faster:

But what if you want to pass that data to an intermediary server before the final call to auth.net? The Android SDK won't work with a server JVM.
