android-go is an SDK for writing native Android apps in Go, providing Go bindings for the Android NDK API plus JNI utilities for interacting with the Java VM. It includes tooling like android-project to replace the removed SDK 'android' utility.
Use cases
- write native android apps in go
- access android ndk api from go
- call java methods from go via jni
- scaffold android projects from go tooling
- build android apps without gomobile
When to choose
- you want to write Android apps primarily in Go
- you need direct NDK access with JNI interop
- gomobile's approach doesn't fit your project
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling for the latest Android SDK versions
- you prefer Kotlin/Java with standard Android SDK
- you need Jetpack Compose or modern Android UI tooling
