A Java serialization/deserialization library to convert Java Objects into JSON and back.

deals with various kinds of information related to the application packages that are currently installed on the device.

The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.

provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.

library that contains the annotations for Android Jetpack.

support newer Android features on older Android versions.

standalone efficient collections.

AndroidX library to help move tasks off the main thread with coroutines and take advantage of ListenableFuture.

library to reduce the number of nested views needed.

AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.

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.

AndroidX library to implement a Material Design drawer widget.

AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.

perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.

library to load data for your UI that survives configuration changes.

share media contents and controls with other apps.

share media contents and controls with other apps.

AndroidX library to enable media display and playback on remote receiver devices using a common user interface.

display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.

provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.

AndroidX library to render vector graphics.

Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.

replaces AndroidX ViewPager, addressing most of its predecessor’s pain-points, including right-to-left layout support, vertical orientation, modifiable Fragment collections, etc.

Firebase Data Transport is part of Google’s Firebase SDK.

a proprietary protocol developed by Google that enables mobile devices and personal computers to initiate and control playback of Internet-streamed audio/video content on a compatible device (see Wikipedia for details).

Google Mobile Services in terms of the Android library refers to Google Play Services, a proprietary background service and API package for Android devices which is not part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The library does not contain those services (i.e. it usually requires the Google Framework, often referred to as „GApps“, being installed on the device), but allows an app to communicate with them. Be aware this usually goes along with transferring at least parts of your personal data to the Google network.

library to help with material design guidelines.

a set of core libraries that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset), immutable collections, a graph library, functional types, an in-memory cache, and APIs/utilities for concurrency, I/O, hashing, primitives, reflection, string processing, and much more.
