## What it is
FadingTextView is an Android UI library providing a custom TextView that automatically cycles through an array of texts with a fading animation. It is written in Kotlin, distributed via JitPack, and configurable through XML attributes or programmatically.

## Use cases
- rotate through a list of slogans or tips in an Android app
- display rotating quotes or announcements with fade animation
- cycle text content automatically every few seconds
- show changing headlines in a banner view
- animate text transitions without writing custom animation code

## When to choose
- you need an Android TextView that auto-rotates text with fade effects
- you want a simple drop-in view configured via XML attributes
- your app supports older Android APIs (15+)

## When to avoid
- you need cross-platform (iOS/web) text animation
- you need complex text animations beyond simple fading
- you require a license-guaranteed dependency (no license file is provided)
