Does SFML support the Vulkan API on Android?

Good afternoon
. My question is voiced in the title. I built a test example with Vulkan on Windows, everything is clear there and does not cause any questions. But how are things with support in Android? I have not found any information about it in free search and on the forum. I apologize if I searched badly and this topic is duplicated, in which case please kick me in the right direction

The SFML graphics module currently uses OpenGL, respectively OpenGL ES on mobile, for all the graphics.
As on the desktop, you should be able to create a
sf::WindowBase
that doesn't give you an OpenGL context and call
createVulkanSurface
to create a Vulkan surface.
Beyond that, you're on your own to implement everything else Vulkan.
Feel free to check out the Vulkan example in the repository:

That was my mistake though, it means I was trying to use sf::RenderWindow, and I should use sf::WindowBase (my first attempt to render a triangle using Vulkan in Android Studio with SFML). Well, got it, thanks a lot for the prompt reply!
