## What it is
A Material Design file picker library for Android, letting apps browse the filesystem and select files with regex-based filtering, theming, and night mode support. It is an unofficial continuation of the original MaterialFilePicker, distributed via JitPack.

## Use cases
- pick a file from device storage in an android app
- let users select only jpg images with a file picker
- browse files starting from a specific folder path
- open a material-styled file browser with dark mode support
- filter file picker results by regex pattern
- get the selected file path in onActivityResult

## When to choose
- you need a Material Design file picker on Android API 16+
- you want regex-based file filtering and custom root/start paths
- you need light/dark theme support in a file picker

## When to avoid
- you target only modern Android and can use the system Storage Access Framework intent
- you need a cross-platform or Compose-based picker
- you need actively developed features beyond maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-upload, ui-components
- domain: android-tools, mobile-development, files
- platform: -
- tags: file-picker, material-design, android-library, java, android
