## What it is
mkloader is an Android library providing a collection of beautiful, smooth custom loading views (spinners and pulse animations) usable directly in XML layouts. It offers twelve built-in animation types configurable via custom attributes like mk_type and mk_color.

## Use cases
- add a loading spinner to an Android layout
- show an animated progress indicator while data loads
- customize loading animation style and color in XML
- replace default ProgressBar with a nicer loader
- use multiple loading animation types in one app

## When to choose
- you need attractive prebuilt loading animations in an Android app with minimal code
- you want loaders configurable via XML attributes
- you prefer a small drop-in custom View over building animations yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with recent updates or Jetpack Compose support
- you need determinate progress indicators
- you are not building for Android

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: loading-views, custom-view, android-library, spinners, java, android
