ShapeTextDrawable

When it comes to draw basic shapes such as squares or circles, we encounter many approaches to achieve this goal. Using Paint is one of the best approach and yet it is still easier to use an XML shape or even an image. Now if we need to have some text inside our shape, then we usually surrender to the easiest and less time consuming solution. This library intends to avoid this "easy" choice by providing a flexible solution to efficiently draw your shapes and display efficiently some text inside them.

Gradle:

compile 'com.github.stephenvinouze:shapetextdrawable:1.0.0'

Maven:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.stephenvinouze</groupId>
<artifactId>shapetextdrawable</artifactId>

Eclipse: shapetextdrawable-1.0.0.aar

Usage

ShapeTextDrawable can be applied to any View as a Drawable. For instance, you can use it on a ImageView.

<ImageView

android:id="@+id/image_view"

android:layout_width="50dp"

android:layout_height="50dp"/>

Next define your ShapeTextDrawable and apply it to your ImageView.

val drawable = ShapeTextDrawable(shapeForm)  yourImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable)

While configuring your ShapeTextDrawable, you must provide a ShapeForm that can be either SQUARE or ROUND. You may also specify a text and customize its color as well as many other properties, but none of these are mandatory.

To draw a rounded square, you can also set a radius when using a SQUARE shape.

val drawable = ShapeTextDrawable(ShapeForm.SQUARE, radius = 10f)

Credits

This library is mostly inspired from the well-written TextDrawable. It was revisited to lighten this library and port it to Kotlin
