• Android KTX - Provide concise, idiomatic Kotlin to Jetpack and Android platform APIs.
• AndroidX - Major improvement to the original Android Support Library, which is no longer maintained.
• Lifecycle - Perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
• Viewmodel -The ViewModel class is designed to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way
• LiveData - A lifecycle-aware data holder with the observer pattern
• Kotlin Coroutines - A concurrency design pattern that you can use on Android to simplify code that executes asynchronously.
• Kotlinx Coroutines - Library support for Kotlin coroutines with multiplatform support.
• View Binding - Allows you to bind UI components in your layouts to data sources in your app using a declarative format rather than programmatically.
• Hilt - A dependency injection library for Android that reduces the boilerplate of doing manual dependency injection in your project
• Navigation Components - Helps you implement navigation, from simple button clicks to more complex patterns, such as app bars and the navigation drawer.
