+# 🤖 Building Android
+
+## Step 1: Get the tools
+
+You need the following tools in order to get started
+
+* Get the right android NDK for your system [supported ndk](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads#r24)
+* Android NDK r24 has been tested and currently works.
+* You need to extract the archive and add the directory to the path.
+  * Windows:
+  `export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=C:\ndk\24.0.8215888`
+  * Linux:
+  `ANDROID_NDK_HOME=$HOME/ndk/24.0.8215888`
+  * MacOS:
+  `export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=$HOME/ndk/24.0.821588`
+* You then need to install cargo-ndk using `cargo install cargo-ndk`
+
+## Step 2: Compile the Rust SDK
+
+You can compile the rust SDK with the command `cargo make --profile development-android appflowy-core-dev-android`.
+There is also an option of using the vscode task `AF: Build Appflowy Core_for_android`
+
+## Step 3: Run the App
+
+After building the SDK you can run the app from VSCode ;)
