## What it is
An open-source Android library providing a customizable RatingBar view as an alternative to Android's default widget. It supports arbitrary star counts, step sizes, colors, borders, RTL layouts, and programmatic animated rating changes.

## Use cases
- show a 5-star rating input in an Android app
- customize star colors, borders, and corner radius in a rating widget
- support right-to-left languages in a rating bar
- animate a rating value programmatically with a bounce interpolator
- use wrap_content or match_parent width for a rating bar
- allow fractional step sizes like 0.5 stars

## When to choose
- you need more customization than Android's default RatingBar offers
- you want exact control over star size, spacing, and colors
- you need RTL support or fractional step sizes
- you want to animate rating changes in an Android view

## When to avoid
- you are not building an Android app
- you need a maintained library with recent releases (last release was 2020)
- you need a rating widget for non-Java/Kotlin Android stacks like Flutter or React Native

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
