+# General tips
+- google-droid-fonts package may give you font issues with IntelliJ
+  based applications (like Android Studio), and removing it should
+  suffice to fix the issues.
+- An embedded version of JDK is included in this package for
+  Android Studio, which is needed to use it effectively.
+  However, I suggest to install an independent version (available in
+  slackbuilds.org).
+  If you already have JDK installed, you may want to specify it under
+  File → Project Structure → SDK Location
+  - Uncheck "Use embedded JDK", and
+  - set the right path (likely /usr/lib/java).
+
+# No multilib systems
+Android Studio "requires" a multilib system. It is however possible
+to use PART of its functionality with a 32-bit Slackware or a
+64-bit non-multilib Slackware64.
+
+## Slackware (32-bit) tips.
+- An embedded version of JDK is included in this package for
+  Android Studio. However, it does not work in 32 bit Slackware
+  and, therefore, jdk is required (available in SlackBuild.org).
+- You unlikely can use adb.
+- A downgrade of some tools is required to create APKs:
+  - Gradle 3.2                 (File → Project Structure → Project)
+  - Android plugin 2.2.2       (File → Project Structure → Project)
+  - Build Tools Version 23.0.3 (File → Project Structure → app under Modules)
+
+## Slackware64 tips.
+You will experience some problems installing the Android SDK (as it uses
+some 32-bit binaries) and running 32-bit AVDs.
