- AndroidX Activity (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.
- AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
- Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
- Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
- Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
- Android Support Library Custom View (UI Component)
a module to implement custom views. Part of the Android Support Library.
- Dynamicanimation (UI Component)
create smooth animations with a physics-based animation API.
- Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)

- AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
- Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
- Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
- Preference (Utility)
a library to build interactive settings screens without needing to interact with device storage or manage the UI.

- Recovery (Utility)
requires 3 permissions: android.permission.GET_TASKS, android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
helps to automatically handle application crash in runtime. - Kotlin (Utility)
