## What it is
A demo Android project replicating UC Browser's technique for displaying a system overlay (floating view) without requiring overlay permission, using WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_TOAST. It includes a service that monitors the clipboard and shows the copied content in a floating window, compatible with API level 9+.

## Use cases
- show a floating overlay on android without permission
- display toast-like view above other apps
- monitor clipboard content in background service
- learn how windowmanager type_toast works
- implement auto-start service on boot
- handle touch and back key in overlay window

## When to choose
- you need a working example of permission-free overlay windows on older Android APIs
- you want to study WindowManager TYPE_TOAST behavior and service lifecycle patterns

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained production library for overlays on modern Android versions
- you need a licensed library for commercial use (no license is provided)
- you target Android versions where TYPE_TOAST overlays are restricted
