ExpandTextView

ExpandTextView is an Android library that allows developers to easily create an TextView with RelativeLayout which can expand/collapse just like the Google Play's app description. Feel free to use it all you want in your Android apps provided that you cite this project.

Download

Current version: [0.1.2]

Gradle:

compile 'com.github.dubulee:expandtextview:0.1.2'

How to Use

Using the library is really simple.

The important thing to note is that the view Ids for TextView and ImageButton must be set to "@id/expandable_text" and "@id/expand_collapse" respectively for this library to work.

Also, you can optionally set the following attributes in your layout xml file to customize the behavior of the ExpandableTextView.

• maxCollapsedLines (defaults to 8) The maximum number of text lines allowed to be shown when the TextView gets collapsed

• animDuration (defaults to 300ms) Duration of the Animation for the expansion/collapse

• animAlphaStart (defaults to 0.7f) Alpha value of the TextView when the animation starts (NOTE) Set this value to 1 if you want to disable the alpha animation.

• expandDrawable Customize a drawable set to ImageButton to expand the TextView

• collapseDrawable Customize a drawable set to ImageButton to collapse the TextView
