## What it is
A Gradle plugin by Mozilla that cross-compiles Rust Cargo projects for Android targets and integrates the resulting native libraries into an Android app's jniLibs. It is written in Kotlin and published to the Gradle plugin portal.

## Use cases
- build rust code for android from gradle
- cross compile cargo project to android targets
- link rust native library into android app via jni
- integrate cargo build into android gradle build
- build rust for arm64 and x86 android

## When to choose
- you have an Android app with a Rust native library built by Cargo
- you want cargo builds to run automatically as part of Gradle builds

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Gradle or Android
- you build Rust for desktop or iOS only

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, compiler
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools, android-tools
- platform: rust, jvm, cross-platform
- tags: gradle-plugin, cargo, jni, ndk, rust-android, cross-compilation, android
