The answer is no. AirTags do not work with Android. There's simply no way to set up an AirTag using an Android device. An AirTag uses Apple's Find My network for precision finding and location tracking. However, an Android phone can be used to scan for unwanted AirTags. This way, you can ensure that you aren't being tracked without consent.
The answer is no, AirTags do not need to be charged. Apple's AirTag runs on user-replaceable CR2032 lithium CV coin batteries that can last up to a year.
