## What it is
A reusable Pull-to-Refresh widget library for Android supporting ListView, GridView, WebView, ScrollView, and other view types. It supports pull-down and pull-up refresh gestures with extensive customization options.

## Use cases
- add pull-to-refresh to a ListView
- implement swipe down to refresh in an Android app
- support pull up to load more in a GridView
- add refresh gesture to WebView or ScrollView
- show an indicator when pull-to-refresh is available

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- targeting very old Android versions where SwipeRefreshLayout is unavailable

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use AndroidX SwipeRefreshLayout instead
- you need ongoing maintenance or modern Android support
