Gradient TextView

A Library providing the widget GradientTextView which extends AppCompatTextView and can be used as a normal TextView.

Example

You can take a look at module gradientexample for a full example.

TL;DR:

1. Define your color resources:

     <color name="rainbow_red">#FF0000</color>
     <color name="rainbow_orange">#FF7F00</color>
     <color name="rainbow_yellow">#FFFF00</color>
     <color name="rainbow_green">#00FF00</color>
     <color name="rainbow_blue">#0000FF</color>
     <color name="rainbow_indigo">#4B0082</color>
     <color name="rainbow_violet">#8B00FF</color>

2. Create a file arrays.xml and define a color-array:

         <array name="rainbow">
             <item>@color/rainbow_red</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_orange</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_yellow</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_green</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_blue</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_indigo</item>
             <item>@color/rainbow_violet</item>
         </array>

3. Use a GradientTextView in your layout and set the color-array along with Gradient Direction (optional):

<com.cbr.gradienttextview.GradientTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:gt_color_list="@array/rainbow"
        app:gt_gradient_direction="right"/>
