## What it is
A deprecated Android library providing a floating action button that reacts to scrolling events, hiding and showing based on scroll direction. It has been superseded by the official FloatingActionButton in the Android support/design library.

## Use cases
- add a floating action button to an Android app
- make a FAB hide when scrolling down and show when scrolling up
- attach a FAB to a ListView, RecyclerView, or ScrollView
- implement Material Design FAB before support library support
- customize FAB colors, size, and ripple effects

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android project that already uses this library
- targeting very old Android versions without the design support library

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use the official design library FloatingActionButton
- needing ongoing maintenance or updates
- using modern AndroidX libraries

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: floating-action-button, material-design, deprecated, scroll-listener, android
