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.

support newer Android features on older Android versions.

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.

a library to read and write image file EXIF tags.

leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.

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.

share media contents and controls with other apps.

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.

provides APIs to easily intercept platform navigation events, including swipes and clicks, to provide a consistent API surface for handling these events.

AndroidX library to make it easier to load data gradually and gracefully within an app's RecyclerView.

AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.

display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.

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

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.

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.

Coroutine Image Loader. An image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.

a collection of extension libraries for Jetpack Compose.

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.

a simple utility library that allows you to easily access the application context from anywhere in your app.

a Kotlin library for Multiplatform apps, so that common code can persist key-value data.

OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.

a HTTP client generator / KSP plugin for Kotlin Multiplatform (Android, iOS, Js, Jvm, Native, WasmJs)) using KSP and Ktor clients inspired by Retrofit.

a logger library for Kotlin Multiplatform.

a video player library designed for Compose Multiplatform, supporting multiple platforms including Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Compose Web (Wasm).

a cross-platform file operations library for Kotlin Multiplatform.

framework for quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin with minimal effort.

The Kotlin Programming Language

library support for Kotlin coroutines.

a multiplatform Kotlin library for working with date and time.

a multiplatform Kotlin library providing basic IO primitives.

Kotlin cross-platform / multi-format serialization.

A modern I/O API for Java to make it much easier to access, store, and process your data.

a declarative framework for sharing UIs across multiple platforms with Kotlin.

a small library to lets you write dependency injection in a concise and pragmatic way.

abstraction for various logging frameworks (e.g. java.util.logging, logback, log4j) allowing to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.
