Open source Android libraries? Reusable Views, ViewGroups, Adapters etc? [closed]

Here's what I really want: a site collecting re-usable components for Android.

I have found various small lists, the biggest being the Open Intents library list. Mark Murphy (hi, Mark) also lists the library projects he publishes.

None of this is of the same order as, say Cocoa Controls or Cocoa Objects.

Where do you go to grab re-usable libraries for Android?

Edit: this isn't just about library projects, though this would be ideal. On the flip side: where do I publish my open-sourced library projects, over and above just "Github".

You may want to take a look at Android Views.

It is pretty new but it provides useful links to re-usable components for Android.

It also has a simple rating and commenting system.
