Rotating text is an Android library that can be used to make text switching painless and beautiful, with the use of interpolators, typefaces and more customisations.

Usage

Just add the following dependency in your app's build.gradle

dependencies {
      compile 'com.sdsmdg.harjot:rotatingtext:1.0.2'
}

Example Usage 1 (Simple)

XML

<com.sdsmdg.harjot.rotatingtext.RotatingTextWrapper
        android:id="@+id/custom_switcher"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Java

RotatingTextWrapper rotatingTextWrapper = (RotatingTextWrapper) findViewById(R.id.custom_switcher);
rotatingTextWrapper.setSize(35);

Rotatable rotatable = new Rotatable(Color.parseColor("#FFA036"), 1000, "Word", "Word01", "Word02");
rotatable.setSize(35);
rotatable.setAnimationDuration(500);

rotatingTextWrapper.setContent("This is ?", rotatable);

Result

Example Usage 2 (Typeface + Interpolator)

XML

<com.sdsmdg.harjot.rotatingtext.RotatingTextWrapper
        android:id="@+id/custom_switcher"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Java

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Raleway-Light.ttf");
Typeface typeface2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Reckoner_Bold.ttf");

RotatingTextWrapper rotatingTextWrapper = (RotatingTextWrapper) findViewById(R.id.custom_switcher);
rotatingTextWrapper.setSize(35);
rotatingTextWrapper.setTypeface(typeface2);

Rotatable rotatable = new Rotatable(Color.parseColor("#FFA036"), 1000, "Word", "Word01", "Word02");
rotatable.setSize(35);
rotatable.setAnimationDuration(500);
rotatable.setTypeface(typeface);
rotatable.setInterpolator(new BounceInterpolator());

rotatingTextWrapper.setContent("This is ?", rotatable);

Result

Example Usage 3 (Multiple Rotatables)

XML

<com.sdsmdg.harjot.rotatingtext.RotatingTextWrapper
        android:id="@+id/custom_switcher"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Java

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Raleway-Light.ttf");
Typeface typeface2 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Reckoner_Bold.ttf");

RotatingTextWrapper rotatingTextWrapper = (RotatingTextWrapper) findViewById(R.id.custom_switcher);
rotatingTextWrapper.setSize(35);
rotatingTextWrapper.setTypeface(typeface2);

Rotatable rotatable = new Rotatable(Color.parseColor("#FFA036"), 1000, "Word", "Word01", "Word02");
rotatable.setSize(35);
rotatable.setTypeface(typeface);
rotatable.setInterpolator(new AccelerateInterpolator());
rotatable.setAnimationDuration(500);

Rotatable rotatable2 = new Rotatable(Color.parseColor("#123456"), 1000, "Word03", "Word04", "Word05");
rotatable2.setSize(25);
rotatable2.setTypeface(typeface);
rotatable2.setInterpolator(new DecelerateInterpolator());
rotatable2.setAnimationDuration(500);

rotatingTextWrapper.setContent("This is ? and ?", rotatable, rotatable2);

Result

Documentation

Rotating text is made of two parts : RotatingTextWrapper and Rotatable.
Each rotatable encapsulates the collection of words that are two be periodically switched and also defines various properties related to these words, like, size, color, animation interpolator etc.
Each Rotatable must be a part of a RotatingTextWrapper. This defines the actual layout of the text and the positions of the rotating text.

For eg : rotatingTextWrapper.setContent("This is ?", rotatble);. Here the ? denotes the postion of the rotatable.

RotatingTextWrapper

Property Function Description
Content setContent(...) Set the actual content. Composed of a String and array of Rotatables.
Typeface setTypeface(...) Set the typeface of the non-rotating text
Size setSize(...) Set the size of the non-rotating text
Pause pause(x) Method to pause the 'x'th rotatable
Resume resume(x) Method to resume the 'x'th rotatable

Rotatable

Property Function Description
Color setColor(...) Set the color of the rotating text associated with this rotatable
Size setSize(...) Set the size of the rotating text associated with this rotatable
Typeface setTypeface(...) Set the typeface of the rotating text associated with this rotatable
Interpolator setInterpolator(...) Set the animation interpolator used while switching text
Update Duration setUpdateDuration(...) Set the interval between switching the words
Animation Duration setAnimationDuration(...) Set the duration of the switching animation
Center Align setCenter(...) Align the rotating text to center of the textview if set to true
