## What it is
StandOut is a Java library for Android that simplifies creating and managing floating windows within an app. It provides a framework for draggable, resizable overlay windows on Android.

## Use cases
- create floating windows in an android app
- build overlay widgets that float over other apps
- implement draggable multi-window ui on android
- show chat heads or floating panels in android

## When to choose
- you need floating/overlay windows in an Android app and are on an older Android codebase
- you want a lightweight Java library rather than building window management from scratch

## When to avoid
- you target modern Android versions where system overlay APIs (TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY) and Jetpack Compose are preferred
- you need an actively maintained library with recent updates and support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: floating-windows, overlay-windows, android-ui, android
