# Android and Android TV Monitoring

## Overview{% #overview %}

Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) enables you to visualize and analyze the real-time performance and user journeys of your application's individual users.

The Datadog Android SDK supports Android 6.0+ (API level 23) and Android TV. It works for Android apps written using Java or Kotlin.
