Agera is a set of Java classes and interfaces from Google for writing functional, asynchronous, and reactive applications on Android, requiring Android SDK 9+. It includes optional experimental extension libraries for content providers, SQLite databases, HTTP connections, and RecyclerView integration.

Use cases

  • build reactive Android apps with observable data flows
  • handle asynchronous event streams in Android Java code
  • bind RecyclerView adapters to reactive data sources
  • reactively query SQLite databases on Android
  • replace RxJava with a lightweight Google-maintained alternative
  • wire up SharedPreferences and BroadcastReceivers reactively

When to choose

  • you maintain an existing Android codebase already using Agera
  • you want a small, Google-authored reactive library for Java-based Android apps
  • you need reactive primitives without the full RxJava dependency footprint

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project - prefer Kotlin coroutines/Flow or RxJava
  • you need an actively developed library with recent releases and community support
  • your project uses Kotlin idioms rather than Java
  • you need broad third-party ecosystem support like Retrofit adapters
