bevy_android

Android-specific platform glue. A tiny crate that holds the AndroidApp handle and bridges Android's lifecycle to Bevy.

Purpose

When Bevy compiles for Android via cargo apk or the Gradle plugin, the entry point gets an AndroidApp handle from android-activity. bevy_android wraps that handle in a Bevy resource so other crates (bevy_winit, bevy_input, bevy_window) can read it.

Key abstractions

Symbol	File	Description
ANDROID_APP	crates/bevy_android/src/lib.rs	Static cell holding the AndroidApp handle.

Integration points

• Depends on: android-activity.
• Depended on by: bevy_internal (re-export), bevy_winit, bevy_audio.

Entry points for modification

• Most platform integration lives in bevy_winit and the examples/mobile/ crate. This crate is just plumbing.
