## What it is
Chaquopy is an SDK that lets developers include Python code in Android apps. It integrates with Android Studio's Gradle build system and provides bidirectional Java/Kotlin-Python APIs plus a repository of prebuilt third-party Python packages.

## Use cases
- run python code inside an android app
- call python from kotlin or java on android
- use pandas or numpy in an android application
- build an android app with python
- integrate python libraries into gradle android builds

## When to choose
- you want to reuse existing Python code or packages in an Android app
- you need Python libraries like SciPy, Pandas, or Pillow on Android
- you want seamless Java/Kotlin and Python interop within Android Studio

## When to avoid
- you are building a pure Java/Kotlin app with no Python needs
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need minimal app size, as bundling a Python runtime adds overhead

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, build-tool, plugin-system
- domain: mobile-development, cross-platform, programming-languages
- platform: python, jvm
- tags: python-on-android, gradle-plugin, java-kotlin-interop, pypi-packages, android, gradle
