Add inking to your app with the Ink API

The Ink API helps you add beautiful, low-latency freehand drawing to your Android app. Ink API simplifies the complexities of input handling and graphics rendering, allowing you to quickly implement responsive drawing surfaces for styluses and other pointer inputs.

The API uses the Jetpack Graphics Library for low latency to help provide the smoothest and most responsive inking experience possible.

The Ink API uses Google's Ink library as the core of its implementation. Jetpack supports using the Ink API on all supported Android architectures. You can use Ink API modules that aren't Android-specific in server-side JVM code under Linux for x86_64. This enables high-fidelity server-side rendering, ensuring that digital ink looks identical across mobile previews and exported documents like PDFs or PNGs.
