+#### Building from source for Android (`aarch64-linux-android`)
+
+Building for target `aarch64-linux-android` is supported via [cross](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross). Until [#1222](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross/issues/1222) is solved, use the latest HEAD:
+
+```sh
+cargo install --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross.git cross
+cross build --release --target aarch64-linux-android
+```
+
+Kindly be aware that this process generates a pure binary file and not an APK suitable for installation on any arbitrary Android device.
+
+The Android support for bandwhich beyond its build is *not* endorsed by this project and may be unstable or non-functional.
+
 ### OpenWRT
 
 To install `bandwhich` on OpenWRT, you'll need to compile a binary that would fit its processor architecture. This might mean you would have to cross compile if, for example, you're working on an `x86_64` and the OpenWRT is installed on an `arm7`.
