Are android architecture components supported by Fire OS?

Amazon Appstore Q&A

While Port an Existing App to Fire Tablet answers most of the queries to migrate my existing android app to Fire OS but still I have some doubts like if the Android Architecture Components
like Room, Live Data/Flows are supported by Fire OS ?

Hi there,

Thanks for posting! Are you talking about Jetpack libraries: Android Jetpack Dev Resources - Android Developers or similar? If so, when it comes to whether something is supported on Fire OS or not, the general rule of thumb is, if a particular library does not depend on any proprietary Google specific components (e.g. Play Store / Google Mobile Services, etc), then such a library should work on Fire OS as well.

Fire OS is ported from Android Open Source Project, and so if a library you want to use would normally interoperate with AOSP, then most likely it would also work fine on Fire OS. I hope that answers your question. Thanks!
