## What it is
An Android library providing over 2000 material design vector icons usable as Drawables, a standalone IconView, or via a custom MenuInflater. Icons are font-based, adding only ~257kb to the APK with live previews in Android Studio.

## Use cases
- add material icons to an android app without generating png assets
- display icons as a view in android layouts
- use material icons in toolbar menu resources
- swap icons easily during android prototyping
- color and size material icons programmatically

## When to choose
- you need a large set of material icons in an Android app with minimal APK size overhead
- you want live icon previews and autocomplete in Android Studio
- you need icons as Drawable, View, or menu items interchangeably

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained dependencies or recent AndroidX compatibility guarantees
- you are building for non-Android platforms
- you need icons beyond the Material Design Icons set
