Transferred from: http://blog.daimajia.com/android-library-collection/

Thanks to the code home collection, very comprehensive.

First, compatible class library

2. Actionbarsherlock:action Bar is only supported after Android 3.0, Actionbarsherlock is to let the Action Bar feature support 2.X all platforms, and he will automatically judge is to invoke the native Action Bar or use the extended actionbar. This library is useful in my little Bear dictionary, and many very well-known apps are using it. GitHub official Actionbar Latest News (July 2013): Android's officially released support Library Revision 18 starts with Actionbar compatibility. So you don't have to use actionbarsherlock anymore.
4. Android-viewpagerindicator: This is a library of paging indicators compatible with Viewpager. The paging indicator (Friends and suggested are pagination, and the lower blue bar is the indicator, Viewpagerindicator supports multiple style indicators. ): GitHub
6. Nineoldandroids:nineoldandroids extended the animation API for Honeycomb (Android 3.0) to Android 1.0 or more. The author of the library, the author of the Actionbarsherlock, and the author of Android-viewpagerindicator,Jake Wharton, a very powerful person, GitHub pays more attention than 1.6K, if you are also doing Android development or are about to start learning Android development, be sure to follow him, and pay attention to his every time the star and follow information, often have a very surprised to find.
8. Holoeverywhere: At Android 4.0, Google introduced a new theme-style-holo, most vendors want to unify the interface design UI, so the more compatible Holo theme library Holoeverywhere becomes the choice of many developers. In the official Android blog is also recommended for Holoeverywhere this library, click here to view the official blog Holoeverywhere introduction. Holoeverywhere's GitHub.
10. Android-datepicker: Compatible with Android 4.0 Datepicker to Android 2.2. GitHub

Second, extending the feature library

2. Slidingmenu:slidingmenu can be very easy for developers to implement the drawer effect of the program, so-called drawer effect as shown, usually used as the outbound menu. And Slidingmenu can be easily fused with actionbarsherlock, with instructions on how to fuse on official GitHub. GitHub at the same time, to achieve the same function can also see another drawer design: android-undergarment

14. Picasso: In the program often face load network picture situation, mature practice: Asynchronous Download---cache, display, Picasso a line of code can be done in three easy steps. GitHub Githubpage, GitHub is a lot of asynchronous load cache class libraries, you can also try to use Android-universal-image-loader or lazylist later will be introduced to the Afinal (Chinese project) also has this feature.
16. Card-ui:google started using a card-style layout in its own app very early, and Cardui was extremely beautiful and wanted to integrate the card UI layout into its own app, so it was easy to use. GitHub or you can also use this library to complete the card layout. Cardlib Another card-style layout: GitHub

Third, the Tool class library:   First of all, for my personal development experience, summarize some of the most commonly used features:

1. Essential Debugging Features
2. Download, compare slices, files.
3. Unzip the downloaded file.
4. Request servers, such as uploading login information, updating some data, or uploading avatar files.
5. Select the files you want to manipulate from the file system (Pictures, photos, videos, videos).
6. Sometimes you also need to crawl some Web page data.
7. Store some configuration information
8. Play Video
9. Another special requirement is the Android UI design, the icon is a very troublesome problem. It's hard to find the right Android design UI every time.

Subsequently, I will be very targeted to recommend a number of functional libraries, to simplify the above problems.

2. Debuglog: The more witty debugging function, the ability to display debugging information in the same class and function. GitHub
4. Afinal:afinal is a handy tool library. GitHub Author Blog (Note: Chinese project yo)

   • A line of code loads the network picture.
6. The asynchronous HTTP library under Android-async-http:android. GitHub document PS: The author of GitHub deserves attention.
   • Sends an asynchronous HTTP request and can handle the return response response in the callback function.
   • The HTTP request is on the thread thread and does not block the UI thread.
   • Requests are implemented using the thread pool (ThreadPool), which optimizes the use of concurrent resources.
   • Support multipart file upload.
   • If the request fails, it is automatically requested.
   • JSON decoding is supported.
   • Supports storing cookies in preference.
   • Supports gzip handling of request and response.
