- Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
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.
- AndroidX Activity (Utility)
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.
- Autofill (Utility)
improve autofill accuracy via extending hints.
- Android Support Library collections (Utility)
standalone efficient collections.
- Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
- Concurrent (Utility)
AndroidX library to help move tasks off the main thread with coroutines and take advantage of ListenableFuture.
- 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.
- AndroidX Cursor Adapter (Utility)
static library support version of the framework's CursorAdapter.
- Android Support Library Custom View (UI Component)
a module to implement custom views. Part of the Android Support Library.
- Drawerlayout (UI Component)

a library to read and write image file EXIF tags.
- AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
- AndroidX Inspection (Utility)
- Interpolator (UI Component)
AndroidX library to use animation interpolators on older platforms.
- Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
- Loader (Utility)
library to load data for your UI that survives configuration changes.
- Navigation (Utility)
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.
- ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
- ResourceInspection (Development Aid)
AndroidX library to surface the attributes of custom views in Android Studio’s Live Layout Inspector.
- Room (Utility)
a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
- Android Activity Saved State (Utility)
provides the base Activity subclass and the relevant hooks to build a composable structure on top.
- Slidingpanelayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to implement a sliding pane UI pattern.
- Sqlite (Utility)
library that contains abstract interfaces along with basic implementations which can be used to build your own libraries that access SQLite.
- Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
- Tracing (Utility)
AndroidX library to write trace events to the system trace buffer.
- Transition (UI Component)
animates motion in the UI with starting and ending layouts.
- Vectordrawable (UI Component)
AndroidX library to render vector graphics.
- Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
- Viewpager (UI Component)
AndroidX library to display Views or Fragments in a swipeable format.
- Jetpack WindowManager Library (Utility)
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.
- Coil (Utility)
an image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
- Lottie for Android (UI Component)
Render After Effects animations natively.
- Accompanist (Utility)
a collection of extension libraries for Jetpack Compose.
- Google Core Libraries for Java 6+ (Utility)
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.
- Moshi JSON library (Utility)
library to parse
JSON into Java objects.
- OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
- Dagger (Utility)
A fast dependency injector for Android and Java.
- Snapper (UI Component)
a library which brings snapping to the Compose scrolling layouts (currently only LazyColumn and LazyRow).
- Napier (Utility)
a logger library for Kotlin Multiplatform.
- JavaX Annotation API (Utility)
common annotations for the JavaTM Platform API.
- JavaX Dependency Injection (Utility)
specifies a means for obtaining objects in such a way as to maximize reusability, testability and maintainability compared to traditional approaches such as constructors, factories, and service locators (e.g., JNDI). This process, known as dependency injection, is beneficial to most nontrivial applications.
- Kotlin (Utility)
The Kotlin Programming Language
- Kotlin Android Extensions Runtime (Utility)
allows to obtain the same experience as with some of these libraries, without having to add any extra code or shipping any additional runtime.
- kotlinx.coroutines (Utility)
library support for Kotlin coroutines.
- kotlin-parcelize (Utility)
Kotlin plugin that provides a Parcelable implementation generator.
- OkHttp okio Framework (Utility)
A modern I/O API for Java to make it much easier to access, store, and process your data.
- IntelliJ IDEA (Utility)
- Retrofit (Utility)
Type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java by Square, Inc.
- Square Logcat (Development Aid)
a tiny Kotlin API for cheap logging on top of Android's normal Log class.
