Description
Problem Statement
The docs mention the ability to override feature flags through the SDK, but it’s only available for web and react native.
- Flutter (https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-flutter/issues/180)
- Android (this issue)
- iOS (https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-ios/issues/649)
- RN
Solution Brainstorm
It would be great to have the feature available on flutter, as it would make testing much easier if we can allow individuals to control the flags directly from the frontend.

Research direction
The issue names no Android files, tests, or entry points. Start by comparing the documented web and React Native feature-flag override behavior, then trace the Android SDK's feature-flag API and tests; done means Android users can control flags through a documented SDK override.
