+## Hello GDExtension plugin
+
+Showcase how to build a Godot Android GDExtension plugin
+
+### Setup
+
+Clone the project using `git`:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/m4gr3d/Godot-Android-Samples.git
+```
+
+The sample has a dependency on the `godot-cpp` library, which is included as a Git submodule. 
+After cloning the sample, you'll need to execute the following commands to set up the submodule:
+
+```
+cd Godot-Android-Samples
+git submodule update --init
+```
+
+### Building the C++ bindings
+
+To generate and compile the C++ bindings, use the following commands:
+
+```
+cd Godot-Android-Samples/plugins/hello_gdextension/godot-cpp
+scons platform=android -j4 target=template_debug
+scons platform=android -j4 target=template_release
+```
+
+When it's completed, you should have static libraries stored in 
+`plugins/hello_gdextension/godot-cpp/bin/` that will be used for 
+compilation by the plugin.
+
+### Building the Hello GDExtension plugin
+
+Use the following commands to build the plugin:
+
+```
+cd Godot-Android-Samples
+./gradlew :plugins:hello_gdextension:assemble
+```
+
+The generated artifact can be found under [`demo/addons`](demo/addons).
+
+### Usage
+
+Open the [`demo`](demo) project in the Godot Editor
+
+**Note:**
+
+It's recommended to generate a version of the gdextension binary for the platform you're running 
+the Godot Editor onto. To do so:
+
+```
+cd Godot-Android-Samples/plugins/hello_gdextension
+scons -j4
+```
+
+Update [`src/main/assets/addons/hello_gdextension_plugin/hello_gdextension.gdextension`](src/main/assets/addons/hello_gdextension_plugin/hello_gdextension.gdextension) 
+with the path to the generated binary.
