An Android flow layout library that wraps child views (typically tags) across multiple rows and supports single-select and multi-select interactions, commonly used for product tag pickers. Data is injected via a ListView-style adapter, selection is styled with standard state_checked selectors, and selected state survives activity recreation or rotation.

Use cases

• display a list of tags or labels that wrap onto multiple rows in an Android app
• build a tag picker with single-select or limited multi-select behavior
• create selectable chip groups for product categories or filters
• handle tag click and selection-change callbacks in Android UI
• preserve tag selection state across activity recreation or screen rotation
• pre-select specific tags programmatically and read back the selected set

When to choose

• you are building a View-based Android app in Java and need a wrap-flow tag layout with selection
• you want checkbox-like tag selection driven purely by drawable state selectors instead of manual code
• you need to cap the number of selectable tags (e.g., single-select or max N)

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project and need actively maintained dependencies (the project is explicitly unmaintained, last released in 2019)
• you are building with Jetpack Compose, where native FlowRow and selection APIs are preferable
• you need a general-purpose layout manager for RecyclerView rather than a specialized tag-selection widget
