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.

helper for other arch dependencies, including JUnit test rules that can be used with LiveData.

improve autofill accuracy via extending hints.

standalone efficient collections.

a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.

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

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.

stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.

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

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

 

AndroidX library to use animation interpolators on older platforms.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

AndroidX library to write trace events to the system trace buffer.

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.

Multiplatform color space conversions for Kotlin.

a component that provides two different HSV color pickers, written in Jetpack Compose.

a collection of extension libraries for Jetpack Compose.

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

give an indication that the device is currently located at a particular Place.

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.

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.

 

library that provides quick access to screen attributes like: screenSize, cutout, status/navbar, safeArea and more.

a logger library for Kotlin Multiplatform.

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.

library support for Kotlin coroutines.

development helper: integration for the IntelliJ IDEA IDE.
