Hi all,

What are the prospects of creating Android apps using Rust? Any plans
for / interest in supporting this?
I see there's a rust wiki page re. building for Android...
How would such a setup work? Would JNI be involved? The NDK?
Thanks!
Yes. There is an ongoing effort to port Rust to Android and I'm sure
help would be welcomed. I don't know in what timeframe you can expect to
write graphical Android applications but following the instructions you
found one can already run simple Rust executables on Android. The NDK
will be required to build the compiler and standard libraries and, at
least for now, to run the linker. You'll call Rust code through the JNI,
but exactly how this will work isn't known yet.
Here are the Android issues if you want to follow:
