When we are building our Android apps we want to make sure we are using our time efficiently and not reinventing the wheel by leveraging tools and libraries available to us, and then focusing our efforts on the critical aspects of our app that will deliver a great user experience to our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we release our Android apps they will be distributed through the Google Play Store with an audience all across the world with a variety of different devices available with different Android API Levels installed. This is why it is vital that we get backwards compatibility correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to this the Android app marketplace is fast moving and we need to be able to respond quickly to user feedback to enhance our app to deliver greater functionality which makes the maintainbility of our app just as important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Android Jetpack offers components, tools and architecture guidance to help us speed up Android app development. It helps us address backwards compatibility, maintainbility and recudes the amount of boiler plate code we need to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post I will go through the 29 Android Jetpack components available today and include some information on how these Jetpack components can be leveraged to benefit your Android app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
