## What it is
An Android library by Chris Banes that adds the pull-to-refresh interaction pattern to Android apps, with built-in support for ListView, GridView, ScrollView, and WebView. The project is explicitly deprecated and no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- add pull-to-refresh to an Android ListView
- implement swipe-down-to-refresh gesture in an Android app
- add pull-to-refresh to ScrollView or WebView
- integrate pull-to-refresh with ActionBarSherlock or ActionBarCompat
- customize pull-to-refresh behavior with a ViewDelegate

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- targeting very old Android versions (API 7+) with ActionBarSherlock
- studying how pull-to-refresh was implemented historically

## When to avoid
- starting any new Android project - it is deprecated and unmaintained
- modern Android apps, which should use SwipeRefreshLayout from AndroidX
- projects needing bug fixes or API stability guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: jvm
- tags: pull-to-refresh, android-ui, deprecated, actionbar, listview, android
