Some free UI libraries and component resources in the Android platform

In just a few years the Android platform has formed a large and active developer community. Many community-developed projects are already at maturity and can even be used in commercial software production without worrying about quality issues.
This article is compiled from Androiduipatterns to share some free, open source Android UI libraries and component resources.

1. Greendroid

The project can implement the following UI design:

• Action Bars (Action Bar)

3. Android Compatibility Package

This is an official extension from Google's Android library. Compatibility package, as the name suggests, is the official Android API that the old platform version does not support, or the Android framework does not provide a library of functions to package and publish it. It contains a number of very useful APIs. The package also contains the implementation of the workspace UI design.

4. Iosched

This is an official Google I/O application (which is also available in Gdd,google Developer Day) (Note: Google I/O is the last two days of Google's developer conference, which talks about a variety of technical issues.) Developers will provide a number of examples to showcase their technology. This project is designed to provide an Android application for this meeting. ）。 The application implements a large number of UI designs and is a reference standard for Google's Android device advocates. It is highly recommended that you use the Dashboard UI design pattern for this application. (Google Code link: Dashboard.java)
