## What it is
An Android library that lets activities be closed with a swipe gesture using only a few lines of lifecycle code. It is a modified version of SwipeBackLayout with configurable swipe edges, sensitivity, and animations.

## Use cases
- add swipe-to-close to android activities
- implement ios-style back gesture on android
- let users swipe right to dismiss an activity
- customize swipe edge area and sensitivity for closing screens
- disable swipe-back on the root activity of an app

## When to choose
- you want minimal-effort swipe-to-close for classic Android activities
- you need fine-grained control over swipe edge, sensitivity, and scrim color
- you prefer a small drop-in library over rewriting gesture handling

## When to avoid
- you build with Jetpack Compose or modern predictive back gestures
- you need an actively maintained library with recent releases
- you require a licensed dependency for compliance since this repo has no license file

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: swipe-back, gesture-navigation, activity-transition, android-ui, android, mobile
