Anvil is a small Java/Kotlin library for building reactive Android UIs declaratively, inspired by React's render model. Views are updated lazily via a virtual-view diff, making it suitable as the view layer for MVVM or Redux patterns.
Use cases
- build android ui declaratively in java
- reactive views for android without xml boilerplate
- use react-style rendering on android
- bind data to android views automatically
- write android layouts in kotlin dsl
- mvvm view layer for android
When to choose
- you want a tiny, reflection-free declarative UI layer for Android views
- you prefer React-style render functions over XML layouts and findViewById
- you need Java 6 compatibility or Kotlin-friendly DSL
When to avoid
- you use Jetpack Compose, which is the modern standard for declarative Android UI
- you need a maintained library - the last release was in 2021
- you build cross-platform apps rather than native Android views
