Guide: MathJax in Android apps

This page collects best practices for few Android applications using MathJax.

Sample apps

• @leathrum's MathJax sample apps
• see also http://www.mathjax.org/community/mathjax-in-use/mathjax-in-use-the-complete-list/

General advice

• HTML-CSS output works on Android 2.1+. However, for Android 3+, use SVG output -- to avoid https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues/403 and get better performance on older devices. (SVG is not supported well on Android < 3.0).
• keep a slim copy of MathJax in your app for offline use and loading speed -- see Guide: reducing size of a MathJax installation
• configure MathJax to use automatic linebreaking for small viewports -- http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/options/SVG.html
• Render content dynamically to improve user experience, e.g., only a few viewports -- http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/typeset.html.
