     ```
-
-### Option 2: Build with Bazel in Android Studio
-
-The MediaPipe project can be imported into Android Studio using the Bazel
-plugins. This allows the MediaPipe examples to be built and modified in Android
-Studio.
-
-To incorporate MediaPipe into an existing Android Studio project, see these
-[instructions](./android_archive_library.md) that use Android Archive (AAR) and
-Gradle.
-
-The steps below use Android Studio 3.5 to build and install a MediaPipe example
-app:
-
-1.  Install and launch Android Studio 3.5.
-
-2.  Select `Configure` -> `SDK Manager` -> `SDK Platforms`.
-
-    *   Verify that Android SDK Platform API Level 28 or 29 is installed.
-    *   Take note of the Android SDK Location, e.g.,
-        `/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk`.
-
-3.  Select `Configure` -> `SDK Manager` -> `SDK Tools`.
-
-    *   Verify that Android SDK Build-Tools 28 or 29 is installed.
-    *   Verify that Android SDK Platform-Tools 28 or 29 is installed.
-    *   Verify that Android SDK Tools 26.1.1 is installed.
-    *   Verify that Android NDK 19c or above is installed.
-    *   Take note of the Android NDK Location, e.g.,
-        `/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle` or
-        `/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk/ndk/20.0.5594570`.
-
-4.  Set environment variables `$ANDROID_HOME` and `$ANDROID_NDK_HOME` to point
-    to the installed SDK and NDK.
-
-    ```bash
-    export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk
-
-    # If the NDK libraries are installed by a previous version of Android Studio, do
-    export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle
-    # If the NDK libraries are installed by Android Studio 3.5, do
-    export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/usr/local/home/Android/Sdk/ndk/<version number>
-    ```
-
-5.  Select `Configure` -> `Plugins` to install `Bazel`.
-
-6.  On Linux, select `File` -> `Settings` -> `Bazel settings`. On macos, select
-    `Android Studio` -> `Preferences` -> `Bazel settings`. Then, modify `Bazel
-    binary location` to be the same as the output of `$ which bazel`.
-
-7.  Select `Import Bazel Project`.
-
-    *   Select `Workspace`: `/path/to/mediapipe` and select `Next`.
-    *   Select `Generate from BUILD file`: `/path/to/mediapipe/BUILD` and select
-        `Next`.
-    *   Modify `Project View` to be the following and select `Finish`.
