Bolts is a collection of low-level Java libraries for Android mobile development, created by Parse and Facebook. It provides a Task class for composable asynchronous programming (similar to JavaScript Promises) and an implementation of the App Links deep-linking protocol.
Use cases
- manage complex asynchronous code on android without callback pyramids
- replace asynctask with composable promises in java
- handle incoming deep links between mobile apps
- implement the app links protocol in an android app
- run background operations off the ui thread
- chain and compose async operations with error handling
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android codebase already using Parse or Bolts
- you need a lightweight promise-style Task abstraction in pure Java on Android
- you need App Links protocol support
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project - Kotlin coroutines or RxJava are modern alternatives
- you need actively maintained libraries - the last release was in 2019
- you are not developing for Android/JVM
