A deep dive into building modern note-taking apps on Android using the Jetpack Ink API and related platform capabilities. Covers the six modules of the Ink API (strokes, authoring, rendering, geometry, brush, storage), how to implement low-latency stylus drawing, custom brush creation with the new visual Brush Designer tool, and serializing stroke data efficiently with delta compression and Room. Also covers productivity integrations: desktop windowing, multi-instance support, drag-and-drop between apps using Jetpack Compose modifiers, and the Android Notes Role for lock screen and floating window access. Includes a real open-source sample app (Cay) and highlights Notability's upcoming Android launch as a reference implementation.
