How to

To set the highlight areas you can add the following statements programmatically:

emphasisTextView.setText("SALAD");
emphasisTextView.setTextToHighlight("sa");
emphasisTextView.setHighlightColor("#ff3393b4"); 
emphasisTextView.setCaseInsensitive(true);
emphasisTextView.highlight();

Please check the sample project for some more working examples.

Add it to your project

This library is hosted in jcenter

For gradle, you can import it with:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.athkalia.emphasis:emphasis:0.4'
}

For maven, you can import it with:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.athkalia.emphasis</groupId>
    <artifactId>emphasis</artifactId>
    <type>aar</type>
    <version>0.4</version>
</dependency>

Todos

Feel free to open a pull request for anything that you want to see added.

What I have in mind:

  1. Introduce a delegate when someone is using another class that is already extending from TextView (possibly another library).

  2. Create similar functionality via xml attributes.
