## What it is
An Android UI library providing a custom View that imitates the Material Design ripple effect introduced in Android L, backported to work on Android 2.3+. It is added to XML layouts and wraps clickable content with customizable ripple color, opacity, and hover effects.

## Use cases
- add material ripple effect to buttons on older Android versions
- backport Android L ripple animation to Gingerbread
- customize ripple color and opacity on clickable views
- add hover effect to Android buttons
- make custom views look material-designed on click

## When to choose
- supporting legacy Android versions below Lollipop that lack native ripple effects
- wanting a simple drop-in View wrapper with XML attributes for ripple customization

## When to avoid
- targeting Android Lollipop or newer where ripple is built into the framework
- needing a maintained library - last release was 2017 and there is no license file

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: ripple-effect, android-ui, material-design, view-widget, android, mobile
