What it is

AVLoadingIndicatorView is a deprecated Android library that provides a collection of 24+ pre-built loading animation indicators (BallPulseIndicator, LineScaleIndicator, CubeTransitionIndicator, etc.) as reusable custom View components. It lets Android developers drop animated loading spinners into layouts via XML with a single indicatorName attribute, eliminating the need to build rotation/scale animations from scratch. Two-module Gradle structure: library/ contains the core AVLoadingIndicatorView custom View and 24 Indicator implementations (likely under library/src/main/java/com/wang/avi/indicators/), while app/ is a demo module showcasing all indicators in SampleActivity and…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 3y ago
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 87% of recent commits
• Reflection-based class loading: Indicators are instantiated dynamically by class name string (e.g., indicatorName="BallPulseIndicator"); ProGuard obfuscation will silently break this. **Android Gradle Plugin…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
