README
TextSurface
A little animation framework which could help you to show message in a nice looking way.
Usage
- Create [
TextSurface
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/TextSurface.java) instance or add it in your layout. - Create [
Text
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/Text.java) instancies with [TextBuilder
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/TextBuilder.java) defining appearance of text and position:
Text textDaai = TextBuilder
.create("Daai")
.setSize(64)
.setAlpha(0)
.setColor(Color.WHITE)
.setPosition(Align.SURFACE_CENTER).build();
- Create animations and pass them to the [
TextSurface
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/TextSurface.java) instance:Java textSurface.play( new Sequential( Slide.showFrom(Side.TOP, textDaai, 500), Delay.duration(500), Alpha.hide(textDaai, 1500) ) );
See full sample [here
](app/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/sample/checks/CookieThumperSample.java).
Adjusting animations
- To play animations sequentially use [
Sequential.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/Sequential.java) - To play animations simultaneously use [
Parallel.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/Parallel.java) - Animations/effects could be combined like this:
new Parallel(Alpha.show(textA, 500), ChangeColor.to(textA, 500, Color.RED))
i.e. alpha and color of text will be changed simultaneously in 500ms
Adding your own animations/effects
There're two basic classes which you could extend to add custom animation:
- [
AbstractSurfaceAnimation.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/AbstractSurfaceAnimation.java) to animate basic parameters likealpha
,translation
,scale
and others. (See [Alpha.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/Alpha.java) or [ChangeColor.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/ChangeColor.java)) - [
ITextEffect.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/interfaces/ITextEffect.java) interface which could be used for more complex animations. (See [Rotate3D.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/Rotate3D.java) or [ShapeReveal.java
](library/src/main/java/su/levenetc/android/textsurface/animations/ShapeReveal.java))
Proguard configuration
The framework is based on standard android animation classes which uses reflection
extensively. To avoid obfuscation you need to exclude classes of the framework:
-keep class su.levenetc.android.textsurface.** { *; }
