This talk will introduce one of the more exciting things in GTK 4.18, the new Android backend. It will cover some of the technical difficulties that we had to overcome to make GTK apps work on Android, and outline the next steps for making Android a first-class platform for GTK. Lastly, it will provide pointers to help you get started on making Android apps with GTK.

Matthias Clasen has been involved in GNOME for more than 20 years and is one of the GTK maintainers. He works as a manager in the desktop team at Red Hat, and lives in Massachusetts.

Florian is the main developer of the GTK Android backend.
