## What it is
An Android UI library providing a SeekBar that shows a preview (e.g., video thumbnails) while scrubbing, as seen in Google Play Movies. It includes extensions for Media3 and the deprecated ExoPlayer TimeBar.

## Use cases
- show video thumbnail previews while scrubbing a seekbar
- build a Google Play Movies-style video scrubber in Android
- add a preview timebar to a Media3 PlayerView
- display thumbnail sprites when dragging a video progress bar
- customize seekbar preview animations in an Android video player

## When to choose
- you need a seekbar with hover/drag previews in an Android video player
- you use Media3 or ExoPlayer and want a preview TimeBar out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need previews on non-Android platforms
- you don't use a video player and just need a standard seekbar
