replaces AndroidX ViewPager, addressing most of its predecessor’s pain-points, including right-to-left layout support, vertical orientation, modifiable Fragment collections, etc.
- WorkManager (Utility)
an API that makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks that must be run reliably .
- FasterXML Jackson (Utility)
a fast and compliant streaming JSON parser/writer with a StAX-like API and support for marshalling/unmarshalling POJOs via annotations.
- Google Material Design (Utility)
library to help with material design guidelines.
- 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.
- FlatBuffers (Utility)
cross platform serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps.
- LMDB-kt (Utility)
library to read/write lmdb databases without relying on a native binary.
- FastAdapter (Utility)
provides core functionality most apps require. It also prevents common mistakes by taking away those steps from the devs.
- Android-Iconics (Utility)
library to include vector icons with an app, i.e. having scalable icons.
- MaterialDrawer (UI Component)
all in one drawer library with Material Design.
- Materialize (Utility)
manage an app's StatusBarShadow, FullScreen behavior and much more over API Levels down to 10 (Android 2.3.3).
- OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
- Tape by Square, Inc. (Utility)
a lightning fast, transactional, file-based FIFO for Android and Java.
- Dagger (Utility)
A fast dependency injector for Android and Java.
- kotlin-logging (Utility)
Lightweight Multiplatform logging framework for Kotlin. A convenient and performant logging facade.
- Java NIO (Utility)
a collection of Java programming language APIs that offer features for intensive I/O operations.
- 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

a toolset of low level Java components focused on HTTP and associated protocols.
- Bouncy Castle (Utility)
a collection of APIs used in cryptography. Also see
Wikipedia.
