Nice work! This looks quite useful. I'm definitely going to check it out. Big plus for having it on maven central. I have a more general question -- where do I go to find more stuff like this? Do you also announce new versions somewhere with more of a focus on Android development? I started doing more serious Android work about two months ago, and finding libraries has been more challenging than I expected. Through Stack Overflow comments, random conversations, and stumbling through things like Square's Github page I've managed to locate a handful of libraries that make development much better. It'd be great to know where this information lives, though.

Google+ has a vibrant Android developer community where a lot of folks post this stuff. Square has an entire community there devoted to their open source offerings.

I created an app that showcases Android libraries and lets you run their demo with the press of a button. It is called DevAppsDirect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inappsquared.devappsdirect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inappsquar... You may also find this interesting. On May 6th we hit 50,000 demos (we are at over 70k now) so to celebrate I created a site that lists libraries in order of their popularity in DevAppsDirect: http://www.inappsquared.com/devappsdirect_library_ranking.php http://www.inappsquared.com/devappsdirect_library_ranking.ph... I also booked marked DroidParts. I will see if I can get it added soon
