## What it is
The official repository of Kotlin code snippets embedded in Android documentation on developer.android.com. Each snippet is a small compilable sample project verified by CI to ensure documentation code stays working.

## Use cases
- find working code examples for Android APIs
- learn how to implement a specific Android API
- copy tested snippets from Android docs
- understand Android documentation code in context
- contribute fixes to Android documentation samples

## When to choose
- you want official, CI-verified code examples for Android APIs
- you need minimal context for a snippet you saw in Android docs
- you want to contribute to Android documentation samples

## When to avoid
- you need complete, runnable demo apps rather than small snippets
- you are looking for tutorials for non-Android platforms
- you need a specific snippet still embedded as static HTML in the docs

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, documentation, tutorials
- platform: jvm
- tags: code-snippets, android-development, kotlin, official-documentation, android
