FadingTextView

A TextView that changes its content automatically every few seconds

Demo app

A demo app is available on Google Play:

Usage

Add this to your project build.gradle

allprojects {

  repositories {

jcenter()
  
}
 
}

Add this to your module build.gradle

dependencies {
     compile 'com.tomer:fadingtextview:2.5' 
}

Texts

First, you need to create a string-array in your values folder like so:

<string-array name="examples">

<item>Hello</item>

<item>Fading TextView</item> </string-array>

Then in your layout

<com.tomer.fadingtextview.FadingTextView

 android:layout_width="match_parent"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 app:texts="@array/examples" />

Timeout

You can set the amount of time that each text is visible by using the timeout attribute and by specifying the length of time in milliseconds. Like so:

app:timeout="500"

<com.tomer.fadingtextview.FadingTextView

 android:id="@+id/fadingTextView"

 android:layout_width="match_parent"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 app:timeout="500"

 app:texts="@array/examples" />

Updating the view dynamically

To set the text dynamically, you can use

String[] texts = {
"text1","text2","text3"
}
; FadingTextView FTV = (FadingTextView) findViewById(R.id.fadingTextView);
 FTV.setTexts(texts);
 //You can use an array resource or a string array as the parameter

To set the timeout between text changes you can use:

//For text change once every hour FTV.setTimeout(60, MINUTES);
  //For text change once every half a minute FTV.setTimeout(0.5, MINUTES);
  //For text change every 10 seconds FTV.setTimeout(10, SECONDS);
  //For text change every 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds) FTV.setTimeout(500, MILLISECONDS);
