SyntaxView
Code beautifier for Android - a wrapper around a WebView running HighlightJS. Written too quickly by accident while writing another app. (Note - I recently found some issues with this library when running in a ViewPager in a Fragment, let me know of you have any similar issues)
Dependency
Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle, eg:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
then add the dependency to your project build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.github.fiskurgit:SyntaxView:1.0.3'
}
You can find the latest version in the releases tab above: https://github.com/fiskurgit/SyntaxView/releases

Usage
If loading source code from file add the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to your manifest.xml and add the runtime permission to your Activity/Fragment:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>Add to your Android layout xml:
<eu.fiskur.syntaxview.SyntaxView
android:id="@+id/syntaxview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>Initialise as usual:
SyntaxView syntaxView = (SyntaxView) findViewById(R.id.syntaxview);
Display code string:
String helloWorld = "private static final String helloWorld = \"HelloWorld!\";"; syntaxView.loadString(helloWorld, "java");
Load file:
syntaxView.loadFile(file);
Theming
All HighlightJS themes are available (the default is a dark theme called 'monokai-sublime'):
String[] themes = syntaxView.themes();
... syntaxView.setTheme("monokai");
You can also set the theme when you pass the code arguments:
syntaxView.loadString(helloWorld, "java", "monokai");
//for a file: syntaxView.loadFile(file, "monokai");
You can also set the ProgressBar loading spinner colour to match whichever theme you use:
syntaxView.setLoadingColor(Color.parseColor("#00ffcc"));
