Allows changing the number of dots at runtime with smooth transitions, as demonstrated in the adding_dots.gif, enabling interactive loading states.
Supports custom color arrays for dots to cycle through during animation, letting developers create visually appealing sequences with minimal setup.
Works like a standard Android View with straightforward XML attributes and programmatic usage, making it quick to add to existing layouts.
Provides control over dot radius and layout via XML or code, allowing fine-tuning of visual appearance without complex animations.
Animation quality depends heavily on proper width and height settings; incorrect values can make it 'look horrible,' as warned in the README.
Only supports dot-based animations, lacking variety for other loading indicator types like spinners or skeletons, which may require additional libraries.
Changing dot count on the fly requires calling requestLayout() to avoid choppy animations, adding complexity and potential performance overhead.
