What are external libraries?

An external library is something that comes from an outside source. (Hence, neither you nor the language-vendor “owns” it.) Your project references it, and depends on (a certain version of) it such that “it cannot live without it,” but it is not “(just) a part of this project.”

What are libraries in Android Studio?
