+Most mobile headsets run on Android and OpenXR support is making its way to these platforms.

+Before following the OpenXR-specific instructions here, you'll need to first setup your system to export to Android in general, including:

+- Installing OpenJDK 11
+- Installing Android Studio
+- Creating a debug.keystore
+- Configuring the location of the Android SDK and debug.keystore in Godot

 .. note::
     Official support for the Android platform wasn't added to the OpenXR specification initially resulting in various vendors creating custom loaders to make OpenXR available on their headsets.
     While the long term expectation is that all vendors will adopt the official OpenXR loader, for now these loaders need to be added to your project.

+For some devices on some platforms, you may need to perform some extra steps in order for your device to be recognized correctly, so be sure to check the developer documentation from your headset vendor.

+For example, with the Meta Quest 2, you need to enable developer mode on the headset, and if you're on Windows, you'll need to install special ADB drivers. See the `official Meta Quest developer documentation <https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/native/android/mobile-device-setup/>`_ for more details.
