A TextView that simulates the effect from the app Secret where the characters fade in/out at different speeds.

How To Use

Use it just like a normal TextView for the most part.

    <com.mattkula.secrettextview.SecretTextView
            android:id="@+id/textview"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:text="This is a demo of Matt Kula's Secret TextView"
            android:textSize="30sp"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            />

To fade in or fade out the text:

secretTextView.show();    // fade in
secretTextView.hide();    // fade out
secretTextView.toggle();  // fade in or out depending on current state

To change the duration of the fading (default is 2.5 seconds):

secretTextView.setDuration(3000);     // set fade duration to 3 seconds

To set visibility without fading in or out:

secretTextView.setIsVisible(true);
secretTextView.setIsVisible(false);

    Backport to support Android 2.x

    I see in your Manifest, minSDK=11. Could you please make SecretTextView compatible with Android 2.x? (Is NineOldAndroid library helpful to backport animation of SecretTextView?)

    Performance issue: Frequently GC

    Tks for your nice code first, but... while running your demo, I found the memory usage like this (tested on Genymotion 2.4 with intel acceleration, x64, android 5.1.0 on nexus 4): image

    Obviously, it's cause by: image

    I have fix that problem, pls see you pull request. The work I did is: 1, Use a MutableForegroundColorSpan to maintain the foreground color, instead new a ForeGroundColorSpan every time. 2, Change the MutableForegroundColorSpan object's color when needed.

    Here is memory usage after my fix(tested on Genymotion 2.4 with intel acceleration, x64, android 5.1.0 on nexus 4): image

  • setText() does not work after calling show() or hide().

    setText() does not work after calling show() or hide().

    Once show() or hide() is called, mIsReset becomes always true and setText() does not work. I fix it as below. Is it ok?

    private void resetSpannableString(double percent){ mIsReset = true; ... mIsReset = false; }

    remove mIsReset = false; from resetIfNeeded()
