The development environment and source repository for Android Jetpack's androidx.* extension libraries, synchronized with AOSP's primary development branch. It hosts libraries like Room, Compose Runtime, WorkManager, Navigation, and AppCompat that are distributed as binaries via Google Maven.

Use cases

  • contribute a bug fix to an Android Jetpack library like Room or WorkManager
  • build AndroidX libraries from source to test unreleased changes
  • browse the source of androidx.* libraries to debug app behavior
  • submit a new test or documentation improvement to Jetpack
  • experiment with snapshot builds of AndroidX libraries

When to choose

  • you want to contribute code, tests, or docs to Android Jetpack libraries
  • you need to build or debug androidx libraries from source
  • you want to track the latest Jetpack development branch

When to avoid

  • you just want to use Jetpack libraries in your app - consume the published binaries from Google Maven instead
  • you want to propose a brand-new module - new modules are not accepted via GitHub
  • you need a stable, versioned release rather than in-progress development code
