Libraries:
- 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.
- Android Jetpack Annotations (Utility)
library that contains the annotations for Android Jetpack.
- AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
- 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.
- Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
- 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.
- DataStore (Development Aid)
stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.
- Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
- AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.

AndroidX library to build layouts for remote surfaces using a Jetpack Compose-style API.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
- Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
- Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
- 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.
- WorkManager (Utility)
an API that makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks that must be run reliably .
- Android Image Cropper (Utility)
Image Cropping Library for Android, optimised for Camera / Gallery.
- Google Material Design (Utility)
library to help with material design guidelines.
- Error Prone (Utility)
a static analysis tool for Java that catches common programming mistakes at compile-time.
- Google Gson (Utility)
A Java serialization/deserialization library to convert Java Objects into JSON and back.
- 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 serialization (Utility)
Kotlin cross-platform / multi-format serialization.
