AccountAuthenticatorActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Applications should extend Activity themselves. This class is not compatible with AppCompat, and the functionality it provides is not complex.
Activity	An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do.
ActivityGroup	This class was deprecated in API level 13. Use the new `Fragment` and `FragmentManager` APIs instead; these are also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package.
AlertDialog	A subclass of Dialog that can display one, two or three buttons.
AliasActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `<activity-alias>` or subclass Activity directly.
CharacterPickerDialog	Dialog for choosing accented characters related to a base character.
DatePickerDialog	A simple dialog containing an `DatePicker`.
Dialog	Base class for Dialogs.
DialogFragment	This class was deprecated in API level 28. Use the Support Library `DialogFragment` for consistent behavior across all devices and access to Lifecycle.
ExpandableListActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `RecyclerView` or use `ExpandableListView` directly
Fragment	This class was deprecated in API level 28. Use the Jetpack Fragment Library `Fragment` for consistent behavior across all devices and access to Lifecycle.
LauncherActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Applications can implement this UI themselves using `RecyclerView` and `android.content.pm.PackageManager.queryIntentActivities(Intent,int)`
ListActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 30. Use `ListFragment` or `RecyclerView` to implement your Activity instead.
ListFragment	This class was deprecated in API level 28. Use the Support Library `ListFragment` for consistent behavior across all devices and access to Lifecycle.
NativeActivity	Convenience for implementing an activity that will be implemented purely in native code.
PreferenceActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 29. Use the AndroidX Preference Library for consistent behavior across all devices. For more information on using the AndroidX Preference Library see Settings.
PreferenceFragment	This class was deprecated in API level 28. Use the AndroidX Preference Library for consistent behavior across all devices. For more information on using the AndroidX Preference Library see Settings.
Presentation	Base class for presentations.
ProgressDialog	This class was deprecated in API level 26. `ProgressDialog` is a modal dialog, which prevents the user from interacting with the app. Instead of using this class, you should use a progress indicator like `ProgressBar`, which can be embedded in your app's UI. Alternatively, you can use a notification to inform the user of the task's progress.
TabActivity	This class was deprecated in API level 13. New applications should use Fragments instead of this class; to continue to run on older devices, you can use the v4 support library which provides a version of the Fragment API that is compatible down to `Build.VERSION_CODES.DONUT`.
TimePickerDialog	A dialog that prompts the user for the time of day using a `TimePicker`.
WebViewFragment	This class was deprecated in API level 28. Manually call `WebView.onPause()` and `WebView.onResume()`
