## What it is
SuperTextView is an Android UI library providing a highly customizable TextView/View component (plus SuperButton and CommonTextView) that replaces most shape XML files with declarative attributes. It supports icons, multi-line text zones, checkboxes, divider lines, and ripple effects for common list/settings layouts.

## Use cases
- build settings list rows with icon, title, subtitle and checkbox in Android
- create rounded or stroked buttons without writing shape XML drawables
- add ripple effects and divider lines to list items
- configure text views via XML attributes or chained setters
- reduce boilerplate layout code in Android apps

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app in Java or Kotlin and want reusable styled text/button views
- you frequently write shape drawable XMLs for buttons and list items
- you want a single view for settings-style rows with left icon, texts, and right widget

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for Android
- you need Jetpack Compose components rather than XML views
- you require a maintained project with an explicit license and recent releases
