Open source Android libraries? Reusable Views, ViewGroups, Adapters etc?

AndroidOpen SourceAndroid WidgetAndroid UiLibrary Project

Android Problem Overview


Here's what I really want: a site collecting re-usable components for Android.

I have found various small lists, the biggest being the Open Intents library list. Mark Murphy (hi, Mark) also lists the library projects he publishes.

None of this is of the same order as, say Cocoa Controls or Cocoa Objects.

Where do you go to grab re-usable libraries for Android?

Edit: this isn't just about library projects, though this would be ideal. On the flip side: where do I publish my open-sourced library projects, over and above just "Github".

You may want to take a look at Android Views.

It is pretty new but it provides useful links to re-usable components for Android.

It also has a simple rating and commenting system.

Solution 5 - Android

Scott Alexander Brown has an excellent talk covering some very useful tools.

He also points out The Ultimate Android Library (TUAL), which is analogous to Cocoa Controls.

Edit: The site DroidStyle gives a series of examples of UI Patterns.

Solution 6 - Android

Some useful libraries:

I want to suggest you few android libraries, that is pretty well made (I think):

AndroidSideMenu - lets you create slide menu (like in YouTube app). I know that there is a bunch of alternatives, but this one is much faster. Overdraw is reduced and main layout is cached while drawing, so it perfect solution if your layout is "heavy". No tricks with HorizontalScrollView - this one uses pure android-way to create view.

CircleLayout - lets you arrange views into a circle (views just arranged in circle) or pie (views are cropped to form a nice looking pie).

I commit on OAK Android Kit: http://willowtreeapps.github.com/OAK/

It also includes a quick-start to get an android app up and running in very short order:
