Features

• Requires: Android 2.1+ (API 7+)
• Supported IDE: Android Studio
• No run-time dependencies
• Designed with developers in mind. You can pick up a stranger and weird library like this one, then use it right away without worrying about it invading your own preferences, or breaking your app's resource names (or other libraries' resource names). Short answer: it uses a UUID for its preference file name, and a CRC-32 string to prefix its resource names (see FAQs).
• Designed for both phones and tablets
• Stealth mode (invisible pattern)
• Many built-in themes:
  • Dark/Light
  • Light with dark action bar (available from API 7+, but only works from API 14+)
  • Dark/Light dialogs
  • Dark/Light DialogWhenLarge (available from API 7+, but only works from API 11+)
• Ability to generate and let the user verify CAPTCHA pattern

In short, you can use this library in your closed source/commercial apps with or without our knowledge. Hope you enjoy it :-)
