Usage

Basic usage

Add view to your layout. You can manipulate content with setTags method.

TagView tv = (TagView) getView().findViewById(R.id.tags_view);
 TagView.Tag[] tags = {

  new TagView.Tag("Sample tag", Color.parseColor("#0099CC")),
  new TagView.Tag("Another one", Color.parseColor("#9933CC")) 
}
; tv.setTags(tags, " ");
 

To use default style of TagView, include this attribute in your theme:

<item name="tagViewStyle">@style/Widget.TagView</item> 

Customization

TagView is derived from TextView, so all it's attributes should work. Most important ones are textSize, textStyle and textColor. Additional view properties are:

• tagCornerRadius - making corner round
• tagPadding - adding padding around the tag
• tagUppercase - making every tag uppercase.

You can inherit sane default values using style @style/Widget.TagView as a parent.
