## What it is
An Android UI library by Yalantis that implements a transition animation crumbling a view into tiny tiles using OpenGL ES 2.0 and GLSL shaders. It wraps your activity or fragment view in a TilesFrameLayout and animates it apart, Star Wars style.

## Use cases
- crumble a view into tiny pieces on android
- add a star wars style transition animation to my app
- animate fragment exit with opengl tiles effect
- android view transition with shader-based disintegration
- play a crumble animation when closing a screen

## When to choose
- you want a dramatic, cinematic view-disintegration transition on Android
- your app targets Android SDK 15+ with OpenGL ES 2.0 support
- you want a small, MIT-licensed drop-in UI component

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with frequent updates
- you need cross-platform or iOS animations
- you want subtle, standard material transitions rather than a flashy effect

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, graphics
- domain: mobile-development, graphics, frontend
- platform: jvm
- tags: opengl-es, glsl, view-transition, android-ui, star-wars-effect, android, mobile
