For others considering Rust + Kotlin for native Android development, there's also the Visly blog post[1] with basic steps. However, since then, Google officially released `androidx`. Unfortunately, Android Studio or the SDK lack `cargo fix` features of modifying your source code and instead just magically compiles with a compatibility layer. There's a PR on Visly's GitHub repo with these code fixes. Also, their code base is minimal: does just enough with Rust shared library to have an app generate a log message. That's enough if you already know Android development. For a complete end-to-end example search query screen with results screen (Activity, Fragment) using Rust, Kotlin, androidx, RecyclerView, ViewModel, etc., there's [2], but it was written while learning all things Android. Perhaps it might help someone out there!

Had fun learning but hopefully will never have to touch mobile dev again beyond maybe a PWA. (I'm a server-side dev.)
