What it is
This is a reading list rather than software you install. It collects open-source Android libraries for interface work, such as animations, layouts, pull-to-refresh, dialogs, charts and blur effects, and groups them by component type. Each entry links to the library's repository and lists its license, with demo GIFs for many of them.
- Browse the Jetpack Compose section to find a library for images, backstacks or animations
- Find a pull-to-refresh or swipe-layout library by searching the Layout section
- Compare license types (MIT or Apache License V2) before choosing a library for a project
- Watch demo GIFs to judge how a library's interaction looks before reading its code
Great for
- Android developers looking for a ready-made library for a specific UI element
- Developers exploring Jetpack Compose options
- Designers who want to see what interaction patterns are available on Android
- Developers checking license terms before adopting a UI library
Not ideal for
- People who want a single app or tool to run: this is only a list of links (the README does not describe installing anything from it)
- Anyone needing guaranteed library maintenance status, since the README does not say which entries are actively maintained
How to get it
- 1
See the README
Clone the list locally (optional)
git clone https://github.com/wasabeef/awesome-android-ui - 2
Run it
- Open the repository on GitHub or read the README in your browser
- Use the Index section to jump to a component type, such as Layout or Dialog
- Open the linked library repository for the one you are interested in
- Check its license and README before adding it to a project
- 3
Get the most out of it
- Use the license column to filter out options that do not fit your project's license needs
- Open the demo GIFs to compare visual behavior before reading library code
- Follow the links to each library's own README for installation instructions, since this list does not provide them
Downloads
Strengths
- Organized by component type, so it is easy to scan for a specific UI need
- Each entry shows the license and, for many, a demo animation
- Covers both classic View-based Android and Jetpack Compose
Trade-offs
- Only a list of links; it does not evaluate code quality or current maintenance
- Some entries have unclear or missing license info (for example, one is listed as UnKnown)
- The README provided is truncated, so the full set of categories could not be verified
