## What it is
An Android library that provides a Gmail-style token auto-complete text view, letting users type filtered suggestions and turn selections into removable inline tokens. It subclasses AppCompatAutoCompleteTextView with a simple API for adding, removing, and listening to token objects.

## Use cases
- add a gmail-style recipient chips input to an android app
- android autocomplete text field that turns selections into deletable tokens
- let users pick multiple email contacts as chips in one text box
- multi-select autocomplete dropdown with token views for android
- tag or category input field with filtering on android

## When to choose
- You are building a native Android app and need a tokenized/chips autocomplete input like Gmail's To field
- You want a mature, customizable View-based component with filtering, duplicate handling, and token listeners
- You prefer a small focused library with a simple API published on Maven Central

## When to avoid
- You are not targeting Android, since this is an Android View library
- You are building with Jetpack Compose and need a Compose-native chips input rather than a View
- You only need a plain autocomplete dropdown without tokenized inline input

## Facets
