libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

Frodo
Android Library for Logging RxJava Observables and Subscribers
Frodo is an Android debugging library for logging RxJava Observable and Subscriber behavior directly to Logcat. It uses annotations to identify reactive methods and classes that should be instrumented. A Gradle plugin generates and weaves the required logging code only into debug builds, allowing annotations to remain safely in production source. Observable logging can report emitted values, execution time, schedulers, and lifecycle events. Configurable scopes let developers choose how much information each annotated stream should expose. Subscriber annotations provide similar visibility into values and callbacks received from Observables. The project targets the original RxJava API and has known limitations with Android library modules. -

Tinker
Android hot-fix solution library
Tinker is a hot-fix solution library for Android, and the official one for WeChat. It supports dex, So library, and resources, allowing application updates without needing reinstallation. Tinker consists mainly of 3 parts: a gradle compile plugin, a core SDK library, and a command-line version of non-gradle compiled users. There are many other hot-fix solutions just like Tinker, but Tinker overcomes many of the problems that other solutions have. For starters, Tinker offers class, So and resource replacement, something that most other solutions do not. It offers full platform support and gradle support, while being smaller and simpler. -

Android Hidden APIs
A library that provides access to Android hidden APIs
Android Hidden APIs are classes, methods, and resources that Google hides from you because of stability reasons. These features are hidden because they may be changed on next API version. The internal APIs are located in package com.android.internal and available in the framework.jar, while the hidden APIs are located in the android.jar file with @hide javadoc attribute. Now you know the difference. But I will refer to both as hidden APIs. This repo contains a custom android.jar which you can use to develop your app. -

Fresco
An Android library for managing images and the memory they use
Fresco’s image pipeline will load images from the network, local storage, or local resources. To save data and CPU, it has three levels of cache; two in memory and another in internal storage. Fresco’s Drawee shows a placeholder for you until the image has loaded and then automatically shows the image when it arrives. When the image goes off-screen, it automatically releases its memory. A decompressed image - an Android Bitmap - takes up a lot of memory. This leads to more frequent runs of the Java garbage collector. This slows apps down. The problem is especially bad without the improvements to the garbage collector made in Android 5.0. On Android 4.x and lower, Fresco puts images in a special region of Android memory. It also makes sure that images are automatically released from memory when they’re no longer shown on screen. This lets your application run faster - and suffer fewer crashes. -

Picasso
A powerful image downloading and caching library for Android
Images add much-needed context and visual flair to Android applications. Picasso allows for hassle-free image loading in your application—often in one line of code! Many common pitfalls of image loading on Android are handled automatically by Picasso: Handling ImageView recycling and download cancelation in an adapter. Complex image transformations with minimal memory use. Automatic memory and disk caching. Adapter re-use is automatically detected and the previous download canceled. Transform images to better fit into layouts and to reduce memory size. You can also specify custom transformations for more advanced effects. Picasso supports both download and error placeholders as optional features. Resources, assets, files, content providers are all supported as image sources. For development you can enable the display of a colored ribbon which indicates the image source. -

BasePopup
Create a universal and convenient PopupWindow popup library
BasePopup is a popup library that encapsulates and improves the system PopupWindow. It is a basic library class with a very high degree of freedom and rich API. You can easily complete various popups under the framework of BasePopup. Switching between Release and Snapshot versions may cause Build to fail. At this time, you can clean the Project. QuickPopup adds new APIs and modifies the implementation of QuickPopupConfig to make the code cleaner and cleaner. In response to historical issues, we have unified the role of the root layout margin under match_parent and wrap_content this time. Now the role is consistent with the system and used as margin instead of offset. -

ButterKnife
Bind Android views and callbacks to fields and methods
ButterKnife is an annotation-based view binding library for Android that reduces boilerplate in Activities, Fragments, and custom views. Developers replace repetitive findViewById calls with BindView fields and define UI event handlers using annotations like @OnClick, with the library generating efficient binding code at compile time. Because it relies on annotation processing, there’s no reflection at runtime, keeping startup paths lean and predictable. The generated bind/unbind lifecycle helps avoid memory leaks by clearing references when views are destroyed. Butter Knife made UI code more readable and maintainable for years, especially in large codebases with complex layouts and many event hooks. While newer Android APIs now offer official view binding alternatives, the project remains a landmark example of how code generation can simplify everyday Android development. -

EasyPermissions
Simplify Android M system permissions
EasyPermissions is a wrapper library to simplify basic system permissions logic when targeting Android M or higher. If your app is written in Kotlin consider the easypermissions-ktx library which adds Kotlin extensions to the core EasyPermissions library. To begin using EasyPermissions, have your Activity (or Fragment) override the onRequestPermissionsResult method. If all of the permissions in a given request are granted, all methods annotated with the proper request code will be executed(be sure to have an unique request code). The annotated method needs to be void and without input parameters (instead, you can use onSaveInstanceState in order to keep the state of your suppressed parameters). This is to simplify the common flow of needing to run the requesting method after all of its permissions have been granted. Optionally, for a finer control, you can have your Activity / Fragment implement the PermissionCallbacks interface. -
