Apktool
A tool for reverse engineering Android apk files
A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications. It also makes working with an app easier because of the project like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc. It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, analyzing applications and much more. The decode option on Apktool can be invoked either from d or decode. In order to run a rebuilt application. You must resign the application. Android documentation can help with this. As you probably know, Android apps utilize code and resources that are found on the Android OS itself. These are known as framework resources and Apktool relies on these to properly decode and build apks. -

V Programming Language
Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing software
Simple language for building maintainable programs. You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases, there's only one way to do something. This results in simple, readable, and maintainable code. Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. V avoids doing unnecessary allocations in the first place by using value types, and string buffers, promoting a simple abstraction-free code style. Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V's auto-free engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. A remaining small percentage of objects is freed via GC. The developer doesn't need to change anything in their code. "It just works", like in Python, Go, or Java, except there's no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. -

Buck
Build system that encourages the creation of small, reusable modules
Buck is a build system developed and used by Facebook. It encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources, and supports a variety of languages on many platforms. Buck builds independent artifacts in parallel to take advantage of multiple cores on your machine. Further, it reduces incremental build times by keeping track of unchanged modules so that the minimal set of modules is rebuilt. Buck only uses the declared inputs, which means everybody gets the same results. Buck looks at the contents of your inputs, not their timestamps to figure out what needs to be built. As a result, incremental builds should always be correct, so there's no need to perform a clean build. With buck query, you can better understand your dependencies and what is required to build your product. With buck project, your project can be better understood by your IDE, making you and your team more productive. -

Dagger
Fast dependency injector for Android and Java
Dagger is a fully static, compile-time dependency injection framework for Java, Kotlin, and Android. It is an adaptation of an earlier version created by Square and now maintained by Google. The latest Dagger release is: Dagger 2.33. Dagger aims to address many of the development and performance issues that have plagued reflection-based solutions. Dagger is a replacement for the FactoryFactory classes that implements the dependency injection design pattern without the burden of writing the boilerplate. It allows you to focus on the interesting classes. Declare dependencies, specify how to satisfy them, and ship your app. Dependency injection frameworks have existed for years with a whole variety of APIs for configuring and injecting. So, why reinvent the wheel? Dagger 2 is the first to implement the full stack with generated code. The guiding principle is to generate code that mimics the code that a user might have hand-written to ensure that dependency injection is simple. -

Epoxy
Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView
Epoxy is an Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView. Models are automatically generated from custom views or databinding layouts via annotation processing. These models are then used in an EpoxyController to declare what items to show in the RecyclerView. This abstracts the boilerplate of view holders, diffing items and binding payload changes, item types, item ids, span counts, and more, in order to simplify building screens with multiple view types. Additionally, Epoxy adds support for saving view state and automatic diffing of item changes. We developed Epoxy at Airbnb to simplify the process of working with RecyclerViews, and to add the missing functionality we needed. We now use Epoxy for most of the main screens in our app and it has improved our developer experience greatly. If you are using layout resources in Epoxy annotations then for library projects add Butterknife's gradle plugin to your buildscript. -

mui
High-performance framework closest to native APP experience
The gap between performance and experience has always been the primary reason for mobile app developers to abandon HTML5. The browser’s natural page-cutting white screen, the unbearable turning animation, the jittering of floating elements, and the inability to pull down to refresh smoothly, all of which frustrate HTML5 developers, especially when they get a low-end Android machine to run, and the phone falls. On the other hand, the browser default control styles are few and ugly, making a beautiful control is very troublesome, and there are some simple UI frameworks but low performance. The mui framework effectively solves these problems. This is a framework that can facilitate the development of high-performance apps, and it is also the framework that is closest to the effect of native apps. -

williamchart
Android Library to rapidly develop insightful charts in applications
Williamchart is an Android Library to rapidly implement attractive and insightful charts in android applications. WilliamChart v3 has been completely re-written from scratch in Kotlin and does not guarantee any API/features compatibility with previous versions. Android development has been evolving quickly, and much has changed since I first started developing williamchart (e.g patterns, testing, tools), so I decided it was time to rewrite it with all these new tools in mind. I intend to keep it as light and modular as possible. -
