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.

support newer Android features on older Android versions.

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.

a module to implement custom views. Part of the Android Support Library.

core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.

a library to read and write image file EXIF tags.

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.

a framework for navigating between 'destinations' within an Android application that provides a consistent API whether destinations are implemented as Fragments, Activities, or other components.

a library to build interactive settings screens without needing to interact with device storage or manage the UI.

AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.

a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.

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

AndroidX library to implement a sliding pane UI pattern.

library that contains abstract interfaces along with basic implementations which can be used to build your own libraries that access SQLite.

AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.

animates motion in the UI with starting and ending layouts.

AndroidX library to render vector graphics.

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

AndroidX library to display Views or Fragments in a swipeable format.

enables application developers to support new device form factors and multi-window environments. The library provides a common API surface for API versions 14 and later. Especially provides additional functionality on foldable devices.

library that allows launching a custom activity when your app crashes, instead of showing the hated „Unfortunately, X has stopped“ dialog.

a versatile layout that fades its edges regardless of child view type.

An image loading and caching library for Android focused on smooth scrolling

library to help with material design guidelines.

a lightweight popup like tooltips, fully customizable with arrow and animations.

OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.

lightweight library for Android, Java and Kotlin to compare version strings.

framework for quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin with minimal effort.

Markdown library.

The Kotlin Programming Language

library support for Kotlin coroutines.

a multiplatform Kotlin library for working with date and time.

Kotlin cross-platform / multi-format serialization.

A modern I/O API for Java to make it much easier to access, store, and process your data.

Java implementation of CommonMark, a specification of the Markdown format.

library for tagging data in Audio files (e.g. IDv3).

a pure java implementation of video/audio codecs.

a small library to lets you write dependency injection in a concise and pragmatic way.

abstraction for various logging frameworks (e.g. java.util.logging, logback, log4j) allowing to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.
