Official Google repository of sample code demonstrating Android OS platform APIs, organized by topic such as accessibility, camera, connectivity, graphics, location, privacy, storage, and UI. Samples are simplified demonstrations, not production-ready code.
Use cases
- learn android platform apis
- see example code for android camera api
- android storage api sample
- how to use android accessibility apis
- android location api example
- android privacy api samples
- kotlin examples for android os apis
When to choose
- you want official, up-to-date examples of new Android OS platform APIs
- you learn best from small isolated demos per topic
- you want a browsable app that showcases many platform APIs
When to avoid
- you need production-ready architecture and best practices (use Now In Android instead)
- you need Jetpack library samples rather than OS platform APIs
- you need a reusable library to depend on
