Handler	A Handler allows you to send and process Message and Runnable objects associated with a thread's MessageQueue.
HandlerThread	A Thread that has a Looper.
HardwarePropertiesManager	The HardwarePropertiesManager class provides a mechanism of accessing hardware state of a device: CPU, GPU and battery temperatures, CPU usage per core, fan speed, etc.
LocaleList	LocaleList is an immutable list of Locales, typically used to keep an ordered list of user preferences for locales.
Looper	Class used to run a message loop for a thread.
MemoryFile	MemoryFile is a wrapper for SharedMemory which can optionally be set to purgeable.
Message	Defines a message containing a description and arbitrary data object that can be sent to a Handler.
MessageQueue	Low-level class holding the list of messages to be dispatched by a Looper.
Messenger	Reference to a Handler, which others can use to send messages to it.

ParcelFileDescriptor	The FileDescriptor returned by Parcel#readFileDescriptor, allowing you to close it when done with it.
ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseInputStream	An InputStream you can create on a ParcelFileDescriptor, which will take care of calling ParcelFileDescriptor#close for you when the stream is closed.
ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseOutputStream	An OutputStream you can create on a ParcelFileDescriptor, which will take care of calling ParcelFileDescriptor#close for you when the stream is closed.
ParcelUuid	This class is a Parcelable wrapper around UUID which is an immutable representation of a 128-bit universally unique identifier.
PatternMatcher	A simple pattern matcher, which is safe to use on untrusted data: it does not provide full reg-exp support, only simple globbing that can not be used maliciously.
