## What it is
An Android library that lets developers generate shape and selector drawables directly via XML tag attributes (bl_*) on views, eliminating the need to write separate shape.xml files. It supports corners, solid colors, strokes, gradients, and state selectors seamlessly with native views.

## Use cases
- generate android shape drawables without xml files
- set rounded corners and borders on views via attributes
- replace shape.xml with inline view attributes
- create selector drawables directly in layout xml
- add gradient strokes to android views
- style android backgrounds without drawable resources

## When to choose
- you frequently write shape.xml/selector files for simple backgrounds in Android
- you want to reduce drawable resource file boilerplate in layouts
- your project uses AndroidX or support libraries and needs inline background styling

## When to avoid
- you need complex, programmatic, or highly dynamic drawable logic
- you prefer explicit drawable resource files for design-system consistency
- your team relies on Jetpack Compose rather than XML layouts

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, templating
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: android, drawable, shape, selector, xml-attributes, ui-styling, jetpack, androidx, mobile
