## What it is
A deprecated Android library for adding animations to ListView, GridView, and other AbsListView items, including appearance animations, swipe-to-dismiss, and drag-and-drop reordering. It is no longer maintained in favor of RecyclerView-based solutions.

## Use cases
- animate listview items appearing in android
- add swipe to dismiss to a listview
- implement drag and drop reordering in a list
- expand list items smoothly to reveal content
- animate adding items to a listview
- add swing or alpha animations to gridview items

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app still using ListViews
- you need quick list animations on old Android codebases without migrating to RecyclerView

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project
- your app uses RecyclerView instead of ListView
- you need actively maintained or supported code

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, web-development
- platform: jvm
- tags: listview, deprecated, swipe-to-dismiss, drag-and-drop, java, android-ui, android, mobile
