# Android and Bazel
This page contains resources that help you use Bazel with Android projects. It
links to a tutorial, build rules, and other information specific to building
Android projects with Bazel.
## Getting started
The following resources will help you work with Bazel on Android projects:
* [Tutorial: Building an Android app](tutorial/android-app.html). This tutorial
is a good place to start learning about Bazel commands and concepts, and how
to build Android apps with Bazel.
* [Codelab: Building Android Apps with Bazel](https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/bazel-android-intro/index.html).
This codelab explains how to build Android apps with Bazel.
## Features
Bazel has Android rules for building and testing Android apps, integrating with
the SDK/NDK, and creating emulator images. There are also Bazel plugins for
Android Studio and IntelliJ.
* [Android rules](be/android.html). The Build Encyclopedia describes the rules
for building and testing Android apps with Bazel.
* [Integration with Android Studio](ide.html). Bazel is compatible with
Android Studio using the [Android Studio with Bazel](https://ij.bazel.build/)
plugin.
* [`mobile-install` for Android](mobile-install.html). Bazel's `mobile-install`
feature provides automated build-and-deploy functionality for building and
testing Android apps directly on Android devices and emulators.
* [Android instrumentation testing](android-instrumentation-test.html) on
emulators and devices.
* [Android NDK integration](android-ndk.html). Bazel supports compiling to
native code through direct NDK integration and the C++ rules.
* [Android build performance](android-build-performance.html). This page
provides information on optimizing build performance for Android apps.
## Further reading
* Integrating with dependencies from Google Maven and Maven Central with [rules_jvm_external](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external).
* Learn [How Android Builds Work in Bazel](https://blog.bazel.build/2018/02/14/how-android-builds-work-in-bazel.html).
