Recent Updates in AndroidX Development

In Android JetPack announcement at I/O in May, Google unveiled a redesign for the Android Support Library, called AndroidX. Like its predecessor, AndroidX is designed to help developers maintain a backward compatibility with older versions of Android. These libraries are now open source as part of AOSP program.   Good thing is that now if you are an Android App Creator then you can also use AndroidX in your project. AndroidX was started out as a small set of libraries mainly aimed to provide backwards compatibility for new Android platform APIs and therefore its development was strictly limited to the platform. Therefore, all of the work was done in internal Google branches and then pushed to the public Android Open Source Project (AOSP) alongwith the platform push. With this workflow, the external contributions were only limited to a small window of time where the internal and AOSP branches were close in content. Also more important is that, it was difficult to contribute as in order to do a full AndroidX build and testing, external developers needed to check out more than 40 GB of the full Android platform code to their development platform or system.   Now, the scope of AndroidX has widened drastically and now it includes libraries like AppCompat which is for easier UI development, Room for database management and WorkManager for background work mainly. Most of these libraries implement higher-level abstractions and are less dependent on the new revisions of the Android platform in general plus all
