# idisfkj/android-startup

🔥The Android Startup library provides a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at the application startup. Both library developers and app developers can use Android Startup to streamline startup sequences and explicitly set the order of initialization.

## What it is
An Android library for initializing application components at startup with explicit dependency ordering, sync/async execution, and multi-process support. It is a Kotlin-based alternative to Jetpack App Startup with additional features like thread control, topology optimization, and time cost statistics.

## Use cases
- initialize app components in a defined order on Android
- run async initialization tasks at app startup
- manage dependencies between startup initializers
- speed up Android app cold start time
- initialize components across multiple processes
- replace Jetpack App Startup with more control over threading

## When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over initialization order and threading on Android
- you need async await or multi-process initialization support that Jetpack App Startup lacks
- you want startup time cost statistics and thread priority control

## When to avoid
- you only need simple initialization and prefer an official Google-maintained solution
- your project is not Android-based
- you need a library with frequent updates and active maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, concurrency, configuration-management
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, developer-tools, performance
- platform: jvm
- tags: android-startup, app-initialization, async-initialization, topological-sort, multi-process, jetpack-app-startup-alternative, android
