Droid is a modern framework that lets you build native Android applications entirely in Swift – without touching XML, Java, or Kotlin.

If you love Swift’s expressiveness and want to bring it to the Android world, Droid is for you.

• Pure Swift — UI, manifest, lifecycle, and configuration in one language
• Declarative UI — familiar, readable, and composable
• No XML — ever
• Native Android — not a web wrapper, not a transpiler
• One place for everything — UI, manifest, Gradle dependencies

Droid aims to make Android development feel as natural and elegant as modern Swift development.

Build Android UIs using clean, Swift-first APIs:

ConstraintLayout {
    VStack {
        TextView("Hello from Swift!")
            .width(.matchParent)
            .height(.wrapContent)
            .textColor(.green)
        MaterialButton("Tap Me")
            .onClick {
                print("Button tapped!")
            }
    }
    .centerVertical()
    .leftToParent()
    .rightToParent()
}

Simple. Declarative. Beautiful.

Even the Android manifest is written in Swift:

@main
public final class App: DroidApp {
	@AppBuilder public override var body: Content {
        Lifecycle.didFinishLaunching{
			App.setLogLevel(.debug)
			// App.setInnerLogLevel(.trace)
			Log.i("🚀 didFinishLaunching")
		}
		Manifest
			// .usesPermissions(.camera)
			// .usesFeatures(.hardwareCamera)
			.application {
				.allowBackup()
				.icon("@mipmap/ic_launcher")
				.roundIcon("@mipmap/ic_launcher_round")
				.label("My app")
				.theme(.material3DayNightNoActionBar)
				.activities(
					MainActivity.self
				)
				.fragments(
					HomeFragment.self,
					DashboardFragment.self,
					NotificationsFragment.self
				)
			}
    }
}

No context switching. No duplicated configuration. No hidden magic.

The documentation is well written and actively evolving.
Android is massive, and while not everything is documented yet, existing guides are carefully crafted and expanded continuously.

You can start building today with Swift Stream IDE.

• Classic Android widgets

• Flexbox layouts

Droid is under active development and evolving rapidly.
APIs may grow and improve, but the core vision is stable and clear.
