# How-to guides overview

## How-to guides overview

The how-to guides in this section demonstrate how common [Docusign Android SDK](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk) mobile app development scenarios work and how you can implement them into your own apps.

All mobile SDK how-to guides assume you are developing with a Docusign developer account. A developer account is not specific to a particular mobile SDK. If you have a developer account that you are using with a particular mobile SDK, it will also work with other Docusign developer technologies. If you need to create a free developer account, select **Developer Account** from the menu at the top-right of the page, then **Create Account** or use the button below.

Each Android SDK how-to guide is listed below:

* [How to log in to Docusign from your app](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/log-in)
* [How to create an envelope for offline signing (PDF)](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/offline-signing-pdf)
* [How to create an envelope for offline signing (from a template)](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/offline-signing-template)
* [How to cache an existing unsigned envelope to use offline](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/cache-envelope)
* [How to start the signing process for an unsigned envelope without connectivity (offline)](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/start-signing-offline)
* [How to sync offline signed envelopes](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/sync-offline)
* [How to request a signature online (embedded signing)](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/request-signature-embedded)
* [How to customize and brand the signing experience](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/customize-brand)
* [How to make a direct API call](/docs/mobile-sdks/android-sdk/how-to/direct-api-calls)
