## What it is
ReadMoreTextView is an Android custom TextView that collapses long text and shows a clickable 'read more' toggle to expand it. It supports trimming by length or line count with customizable collapsed/expanded labels and colors.

## Use cases
- show long descriptions with a read more link in an Android app
- collapse product reviews to a few lines with expand option
- trim long comments by line count in a feed
- customize the expand/collapse label text and color
- add an expandable text view to an Android layout XML

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in Android TextView with read-more behavior configured via XML attributes
- you want trimming by either character length or line count
- you prefer a small, simple Java library with a permissive Apache-2.0 license

## When to avoid
- you need Jetpack Compose text collapsing instead of XML views
- you need actively maintained code with recent updates
- your project is not Android or uses Kotlin-first libraries exclusively
