## What it is
An Android library that displays a real-time FPS overlay using the Choreographer, with color-coded indicators based on the percentage of time with two or more dropped frames. It is deprecated and no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- show fps overlay in android app
- monitor dropped frames during development
- debug ui jank on android
- track frame rendering performance in debug builds
- collect frame time stats via callback

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight in-app fps overlay for debugging on older Android projects
- you want frame drop callbacks to collect custom stats

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is deprecated
- you need modern profiling - use Android's built-in performance tooling
- targeting Android TV

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, benchmarking
- domain: mobile-development, performance
- platform: -
- tags: fps-overlay, choreographer, frame-drops, debug-tool, android-ui-performance, android
