Which one should I pick for a new project?

I can only recommend against harlonwang/avloadingindicatorview for new projects. According to the RepoPilot analysis, the verdict is AVOID — Stale and unlicensed — last commit 3y ago. The README also explicitly states [README.md:L1] "PLEASE NOTE, THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER BEING MAINTAINED".

This library is deprecated and no longer receives updates or maintenance, which creates significant risk for production use.

For tencent/tinker: The repository_data provided doesn't include the full README or RepoPilot analysis for this project, so I can't give you a complete assessment. You'd need to evaluate it based on:

• Whether its hot-patching/hot-fix capabilities fit your use case
• Its current maintenance status and community support
• Your specific Android versioning and compatibility needs

If you're looking for a loading indicator library as a replacement for AVLoadingIndicatorView, I'd recommend searching for actively maintained alternatives on Android Arsenal or similar repositories rather than using either of these projects.
