## What it is
An Android library that backports the Lollipop ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal animation to devices running Android 4.0+. It provides RevealFrameLayout and RevealLinearLayout widgets that clip views with a circular reveal animation.

## Use cases
- add circular reveal animations on pre-Lollipop Android devices
- animate a card or view expanding from a point with a circular clip
- backport Material Design reveal effects to Android 4.x apps
- create ripple-like reveal transitions for menus or dialogs

## When to choose
- you need circular reveal animations on Android versions below Lollipop
- you want a drop-in layout container that clips children with a reveal animation

## When to avoid
- your minSdk is 21 or higher, since the native ViewAnimationUtils API is available
- you need an actively maintained library, as the last release was in 2019

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: -
- tags: android-library, circular-reveal, lollipop, view-animation, jitpack, android
