+-------------------------
+
+Compiling the editor is done by calling SCons from the Godot
+root directory with the following arguments:
+
+::
+
+   scons platform=android android_arch=armv7 production=yes tools=yes target=release_debug
+   scons platform=android android_arch=arm64v8 production=yes tools=yes target=release_debug
+   scons platform=android android_arch=x86 production=yes tools=yes target=release_debug
+   scons platform=android android_arch=x86_64 production=yes tools=yes target=release_debug
+   cd platform/android/java
+   # On Windows
+   .\gradlew generateGodotEditor
+   # On Linux and macOS
+   ./gradlew generateGodotEditor
+
+
+The resulting APK will be located at ``bin/android_editor.apk``.
+

+
+::
+
