## What it is
MagicIndicator is a powerful, customizable and extensible ViewPager indicator library for Android, serving as an alternative to ViewPagerIndicator, TabLayout and PagerSlidingTabStrip. It supports badges and works in non-ViewPager scenarios such as Fragment hide/show or View visibility switching.

## Use cases
- add a tab indicator to a ViewPager in an Android app
- replace TabLayout with a more customizable pager indicator
- show tab titles with badges on Android
- sync indicator with Fragment hide/show switching
- build scrollable tab navigation for Android
- create custom pager title views with transitions

## When to choose
- you need a highly customizable ViewPager indicator on Android
- TabLayout or PagerSlidingTabStrip doesn't fit your design requirements
- you need indicators outside of ViewPager, e.g. with Fragment hide/show

## When to avoid
- you're building for iOS or non-Android platforms
- you need a maintained library with an explicit license
- you use Jetpack Compose rather than View-based UIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, android-tools
