## What it is
An Android custom view that displays continuously side-scrolling, repeated images, useful for animated backgrounds. Multiple stacked views with different speeds create a parallax animation effect.

## Use cases
- create a continuously scrolling background image in an Android app
- add a parallax animation effect with layered scrolling views
- animate a game-style scrolling landscape or clouds
- show repeated scrolling drawable layers at different speeds
- start and stop scrolling animation programmatically

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight Android view for infinite side-scrolling image backgrounds
- you want a simple parallax effect by stacking views with different speeds
- you prefer a small MIT-licensed Java library added via JitPack

## When to avoid
- you need vertical scrolling or complex custom animations
- your project is Kotlin-first and you want a modern maintained alternative
- you need image loading from network URLs rather than bundled drawables
