## What it is
An Android library providing an AlertDialog subclass with an animated moving-dots progress indicator. It is packaged as an AAR and customizable via styles for title, spot color, and spot count.

## Use cases
- show a loading dialog while fetching data in an Android app
- display an animated progress indicator during background tasks
- customize a progress dialog's message, color, and dot count
- replace the default Android spinner with a dots animation
- show a non-cancelable loading dialog during updates

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, ready-made animated progress dialog on Android
- you want simple style-based customization of a loading dialog
- your app supports older Android versions (API 15+)

## When to avoid
- you need modern Material Design loading components
- you want highly custom animations beyond moving dots
- you need a cross-platform or Compose-based solution
