## What it is
ColorPickerView is an Android UI library that lets users pick colors by tapping on an HSV color wheel, custom drawable palettes, or gallery images, returning color values as integers, hex codes, or ARGB arrays. It includes alpha and brightness sliders, a built-in ColorPickerDialog, flag views, and state save/restore support.

## Use cases
- pick a color from an image in an android app
- add a color picker dialog to my android ui
- get hex color code from user tap on a palette
- let users adjust color alpha and brightness with sliders
- extract a color from a gallery photo
- save and restore the user's selected color across sessions

## When to choose
- building a native Android (View-based) app that needs color selection from palettes or images
- you want a ready-made color picker dialog with alpha and brightness sliders
- you need to sample colors from arbitrary drawables or gallery pictures

## When to avoid
- building a Jetpack Compose app (use colorpicker-compose instead)
- you need a cross-platform or web color picker
- your project targets Android below API 21
