## What it is
An Android library that wraps RecyclerView to support adding header and footer views via a custom adapter and utility methods. It also provides endless/paging scroll handling with footer states like loading, error, and end-of-list.

## Use cases
- add a header or footer view to a RecyclerView
- implement pull-to-load-more pagination in a RecyclerView
- show loading, error, and end states in a list footer
- use headers with linear, grid, or staggered grid layouts
- fix adapter position offsets when headers are added

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Java Android app on older support/early AndroidX libraries and need header/footer RecyclerView support
- you want a lightweight wrapper for endless-scroll pagination with footer state management

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project with modern AndroidX APIs like ListAdapter, ConcatAdapter, or Paging 3
- you need Kotlin-first or actively maintained solutions
- you need Jetpack Compose lists

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: recyclerview, android, header-footer, pagination, java, infinite-scroll
