EventBus
Event bus for Android and Java that simplifies communication between Activities, Fragments, Threads, Services, etc. Less code, better quality. (by greenrobot)
RxJava
RxJava – Reactive Extensions for the JVM – a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences for the Java VM. (by ReactiveX)

How to do threading in Android.
Since you mentioned java, there is RxJava and RxAndroid. Google general recommendation now is to use kotlin coroutines if you're considering writing your app with that.

You all beat me to MapStruct and Testcontainers. Honorable mention to RxJava, which I use in Desktop apps.

What are the most common used (3rd party) libraries and frameworks used in Android development?
Concurrency: Kotlin coroutines for general use, Rx or Flow for reactive programming (you can technically use Rx for regular concurrency as well, but not really what it's meant for)

When consuming from a reactive stream is it more like a literal stream where items in the stream ay go by and not get consumed while you're busy, or is it more like a queue?
In big words, kafka and rxJava are 2 different things, with kafka you transport data, produce and consume messages, then you can process them however you want. Rx java helps you write asynchronous code and it's no queue/topic related. You can read more here

Functional Programming in Java, Explained
Both of the most popular Java Reactive libraries, RxJava and Reactor, are based on Java 8 Streams API, which means they also use functional interfaces in their code.
What are some alternatives?
