It not only allowed creating layouts in a type-safe way, but it made the layouts more adaptable, dynamic, reusable, and also performant, as there was no need for expensive layout inflation. Anko consists of several parts that make up the complete framework, which are: Anko Commons: a lightweight library full of helpers for intents, dialogs, logging and so on. Anko Layouts: a fast and type-safe way to write dynamic Android layouts. Anko SQLite: a query DSL and parser collection for Android SQLite. Anko Coroutines: utilities based on the kotlinx.coroutines library.
