## What it is
An Android library providing a FloatLabeledEditText ViewGroup that moves an EditText's hint above the field when text is entered, based on Matt D. Smith's floating label design. It is distributed via Maven/Gradle and configured directly in XML layouts.

## Use cases
- show floating hint labels on Android form inputs
- implement material-style text fields in Android XML layouts
- create username and password inputs with persistent labels
- style floating label text color and padding in Android forms

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app already using this library
- you need a minimal, dependency-free floating label EditText on old Android versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use TextInputLayout from the Material Components library instead
- you need active maintenance, updates, or a license file

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: floating-label, edittext, android-viewgroup, material-design, form-input, android
