Anko is a Kotlin library that simplifies Android application development with helpers for intents, dialogs, logging, a DSL for dynamic layouts, and SQLite query utilities. It is officially deprecated and no longer maintained by JetBrains.
Use cases
- write android layouts in kotlin without xml
- simplify android sqlite cursor parsing
- show dialogs and toasts with less boilerplate
- start activities and share intents from kotlin
- run async code inside click listeners with coroutines
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android project already using Anko
- learning how Kotlin DSLs for Android UI evolved historically
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - it is deprecated
- wanting long-term support or updates
- building modern UIs - use Jetpack Compose instead
