## What it is
An Android library providing a TextView subclass that automatically resizes its text to fit within its bounds. It can be applied to any TextView via a helper, an XML layout wrapper, or a built-in widget.

## Use cases
- make text shrink to fit a fixed-size TextView on Android
- display headlines that fit within a button or label regardless of length
- auto-scale text size in XML layouts with min/max text size
- apply autofit behavior to any existing TextView subclass in code

## When to choose
- you need text to always fit its container on Android without truncation
- you want a drop-in TextView replacement or layout wrapper for autofit behavior

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for Android
- you need a maintained library with recent updates - the last release was in 2019
- Android's built-in autosizing TextView (android:autoSizeTextType) meets your needs
