I'm still somehow new to android and I've struggled a bit to find a place where I can have an overview of available 3rd party platform sdks for android, such as: facebook SDK, onecloud sdk (for using box.com), AWS Sdk (for using Amazon Web Services) and so on.
I was looking for some resource equivalent to the API listing you can retrieve from Programmable Web API directory but for available SDKs for Android. I understand that actually most of the APIs listed on the API directory above can be accessed by android using XMPP, REST, etc. But I am looking specifically on what is already packaged through a SDK which does not only hides the networking part, but may implement caching or other convenient features.
The third-party libraries are reusable resources that are widely employed in Android Apps. While the third-party libraries provide a variety of functions, they bring serious security and privacy problems. The third-party libraries and the host Apps run in the same process and share the same permissions.
In programming, third-party software is a reusable component developed by a body other than the original vendor of the development platform. In mobile game apps, third-party libraries might be an advertising software developer kit (SDK) or a crash reporter.
The Android SDK (software development kit) is a set of development tools used to develop applications for the Android platform that has become Apple's biggest rival in the smartphone space. The Android SDK includes the following: Required libraries. Debugger. An emulator.
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK. It includes tools that interface with the Android platform, primarily adb and fastboot . Although adb is required for Android app development, app developers will normally just use the copy Studio installs.
Actually, I just found a very good overview of available sdks and libraries for Android in the AppBrain website. If someone knows a better resource, please share
Check here , There is a list but you can find new libraries every day. Always search for them and have a look at programming forums.
