A lightweight Android library that generates letter/text-based drawable images similar to Gmail's contact avatars. It extends the Drawable class so it works with any existing, custom, or network ImageView, and includes a fluent builder API plus a customizable ColorGenerator.
Use cases
- generate gmail-style letter avatars in android
- create colored text tiles for list views
- show initial-based placeholder images for contacts
- generate consistent colors per user email or key
- build rounded or circular letter badges in android ui
When to choose
- you need lightweight letter/initial avatars without external image assets
- you want deterministic color assignment for users or list items
- you want drawables that plug directly into standard ImageViews
When to avoid
- you need full image loading or caching from the network
- you are not building an Android app
- you need actively maintained libraries with recent releases
