Android Jetpack: What’s new in Android Support Library
summary
AndroidX refactors Support Library into feature-scoped artifacts, resets versioning to 1.0.0 with semantic versioning, and promises per-artifact releases so only changed libraries update. Migration uses Android Studio’s “Refactor to AndroidX” (Canary 15) and a binary rewrite tool Jetifier that rewrites AAR/JAR usages; demo migrates a sample app successfully. New modules include RecyclerView Selection and ListAdapter with DiffUtil, WebKit backports (Safe Browsing to API21+), Slices to API19, HeifWriter (API28+), and Material Components under com.google.android.material.
