What it does

MS ProgressView provides developers with a flexible, easy-to-integrate library that eliminates the boilerplate of implementing progress indicators. Whether you need a simple circular spinner, an indeterminate horizontal bar, or a custom drawable-based progress indicator, this library has you covered.

My contributions

  • Progress Bar Variants: Designed and implemented circular, horizontal, and drawable progress bar types with built-in customization options
  • Custom API Surface: Created a declarative, easy-to-use API that allows developers to configure progress bars with minimal code
  • Jetpack Compose Support: Built Jetpack Compose wrappers alongside traditional XML-based components for compatibility with both modern and legacy codebases
  • Library Distribution: Configured Gradle builds and published the library via JitPack for simple, one-line dependency integration

Technical highlights

  • Jetpack Compose — Modern declarative UI wrappers for composable-based Android apps
  • Animations — Smooth, performant animations using Android's animation framework
  • Gradle — Publishable library module with configurable release and debug builds
  • JitPack — Direct Maven publication for seamless build.gradle dependency integration
  • Extensible Design — Component architecture that makes it easy to add new progress bar variants

What I learned

Developing MS ProgressView as an Android library taught me the importance of clean API design and developer experience. Creating components that are intuitive to integrate requires thinking about the consumer — not just the implementation. Publishing on JitPack and managing Gradle configuration for library distribution gave me practical experience in the Android library ecosystem. The project also deepened my understanding of Android's animation system, drawable customizations, and the complexities of building reusable UI components.
