What is the most efficient way to render maths formulas in my android app?

Question

I'm coding an android app (for offline use) and I need to display maths formulas and expressions on its views. What is the most efficient (easiest if possible) way to achieve this?

Answer 1

After an year, I found a library which could do this quite efficiently and have used this in current project. This is the link of that great work https://github.com/kexanie/MathView which you can easily include in your native code itself as another view component.This was way more faster than usual webview implementation of mathjax.

Answer 2

The most efficient is to simply use a custom font in a TextView. When I was researching MathML I came across a font solution. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Answer 3

The easiest way which comes to my mind is:

Rendering it with JavaScript using downloaded MathJax in a WebView.

For example, for such LaTeX on the input:

e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0

That will be the output:
