  • As someone that had experience on both sides, AndroidX is roughly functions as a middleware that exposes roughly (but not always) the same set of API from the frameworks. Nobody sane would use the bare system framework as it’s a nightmare for backward compatibility and for handling device capability.

    You’d still use the SDK the compile against, but AndroidX provides a nice wrapper that handles the aforementioned issue. It’s a separate library and not tied to the SDK.
