## What it is
SwipeBack is an Android library that lets users finish (close) an Activity with a swipe gesture. It provides a SwipeBackActivity base class and a SwipeBackLayout view supporting left, top, right, and bottom drag edges.

## Use cases
- add swipe-to-dismiss gesture to android activities
- implement ios-style swipe back navigation on android
- close an activity by swiping left or right
- support edge swipe gestures in listview or viewpager screens
- add swipe gesture navigation to webview activities

## When to choose
- you need gesture-based activity dismissal on android with configurable swipe directions
- you want a simple drop-in base activity or layout for swipe-back behavior

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with recent updates and modern android support
- you use jetpack compose or want predictive back gesture support built into modern android
