## What it is
An Android library that implements a fading action bar effect as seen in the Google Play Music app, supporting stock, ActionBarCompat, and ActionBarSherlock implementations. It works with ScrollView, ListView, and WebView content and is distributed via Maven Central.

## Use cases
- add a fading action bar effect to an android app
- make the action bar fade in as the user scrolls
- recreate the play music scrolling header effect
- scrolling action bar animation for listview or scrollview content

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using ActionBarSherlock or ActionBarCompat
- you want the classic Play Music-style fading header on older Android APIs

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project with modern Material Design components
- you need active maintenance or support for recent Android versions
- your content is in a ListView and you need reliable configuration-change handling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: action-bar, scroll-effects, ui-library, legacy-android, android
