- 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.
- Browser (Utility)

- CameraX (Utility)
an addition to Android Jetpack that makes it easier to add camera capabilities.
- Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
- WorkManager (Utility)
an API that makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks that must be run reliably .
- Coil (Utility)
an image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
- Lottie for Android (UI Component)
Render After Effects animations natively.
- Google Mobile Services© (Development Framework)
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.
- Google Gson (Utility)
A Java serialization/deserialization library to convert Java Objects into JSON and back.
- OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.

- XmlUtil (Utility)
a set of packages that supports multiplatform XML in Kotlin.
- MapLibre Native (Map)
requires 5 permissions: android.permission.INTERNET, android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
interactive vector tile maps for iOS, Android and other platforms.
- MapLibre-Java (Map)
a set of utility libraries required for MapLibre GL Native Android SDK.
- Simple Logging Facade for Java (Utility)
abstraction for various logging frameworks (e.g. java.util.logging, logback, log4j) allowing to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.
