A deprecated Android library that lets developers add badge overlays (e.g., notification counts) to any Android view at runtime without modifying layouts. BadgeView is a TextView subclass supporting custom styling and animations.
Use cases
- show a notification count badge on an Android view
- add a badge to a tab or list item at runtime
- display a small label overlay on any view without layout changes
- animate badge appearance on Android UI elements
- style custom badge backgrounds on Android views
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app that already uses ViewBadger
- you need a quick, dependency-free badge overlay on old Android codebases
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project (library is deprecated and unmaintained since 2015)
- you need to badge ActionBar items (unsupported)
- you want modern Android UI conventions like Notification number fields
