## What it is
An Android library (a custom View) that renders Markdown text natively in Android apps, built on Flexmark. It supports stylesheets, JavaScript, syntax highlighting, MathJax, emojis, and embedded YouTube/Twitter content.

## Use cases
- display markdown text in an android app
- render a readme file inside a mobile app
- load markdown from assets, files, or urls
- show markdown with github styling
- render math formulas and code highlighting in markdown
- embed tweets and youtube videos in markdown content

## When to choose
- you need to render markdown in a native Android view without a WebView-based solution
- you want styling control with custom CSS, themes, and media queries
- you need extras like MathJax, emoji, syntax highlighting, or embedded media

## When to avoid
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need a actively maintained library - the latest release is from 2018
- you need iOS, desktop, or web markdown rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: markdown, ui-components, templating
- domain: android-tools, frontend, documentation
- platform: jvm
- tags: markdown-view, android-view, flexmark, syntax-highlighting, mathjax, emoji, android, mobile
