Leonids is a lightweight Java particle system library for the standard Android UI, letting developers add effects like explosions, fire, and confetti without a game engine or OpenGL. It is distributed as a small jar or Gradle dependency and configured with a simple fluent API.

Use cases

  • add particle effects to android app ui
  • create explosion animation on button tap
  • add confetti effect to android app
  • fire and smoke effects without opengl
  • make android app feel more playful and juicy

When to choose

  • you use standard Android views and want particle effects without pulling in a full game engine
  • you want a tiny, simple library with a few-lines-of-code setup

When to avoid

  • you are building a game with OpenGL or an existing engine that already has particle systems
  • you need actively maintained dependencies - the project has not been updated since 2021 and references deprecated jcenter
