## What it is
A deprecated Android library that wraps any View with a Material Design ripple touch effect, usable via XML layout wrapping or a static initializer. It offers customizable ripple color, alpha, duration, hover, and adapter optimizations.

## Use cases
- add material ripple effect to android buttons
- wrap views with touch feedback animation
- customize ripple color and duration on android views
- add ripple effect to list items in adapterview
- backport material ripple to older android versions

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- need a simple ripple wrapper for pre-Lollipop Android views

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use built-in RippleDrawable or Material Components
- you need active maintenance or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: ripple-effect, material-design, deprecated, view-wrapper, android, mobile
