## What it is
A deprecated Android sample app demonstrating how to use the AppCompat 21 library to apply the Material Theme on pre-Lollipop (pre-21) devices. It serves as a companion example to a blog post by Antonio Leiva.

## Use cases
- learn how to apply Material Theme on older Android versions
- see AppCompat 21 usage examples
- reference for backporting Material Design to pre-Lollipop devices
- sample code for Material Design toolbar and theme setup
- study Material Design implementation in Java Android apps

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app on old support libraries and need a Material Theme backport reference
- you want a simple historical example of AppCompat 21 usage

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project with modern Material Components
- you need maintained, up-to-date Material Design libraries
- you target only Android 5.0+ where native Material Theme is available

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, theme, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, tutorials, web-design
