## What it is
An Android library providing a RecyclerView adapter that adds a parallax scrolling effect to headers. It lets developers attach a parallax header view to RecyclerView lists with simple callbacks for scroll-driven effects.

## Use cases
- add a parallax header to a RecyclerView list
- create a collapsing transparent toolbar effect while scrolling
- build profile or feed screens with animated header images
- implement scroll-linked visual effects in Android apps

## When to choose
- you want a quick drop-in parallax header for RecyclerView on Android
- you need scroll callbacks to drive custom effects like toolbar transparency

## When to avoid
- your project uses Jetpack Compose instead of RecyclerView
- you need actively maintained libraries with recent updates
- you need complex CoordinatorLayout-based behaviors

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: -
- tags: recyclerview, parallax, android-ui, scroll-effects, jitpack, android, mobile
