This is a small library containing a TextView that renders its text as
transparent, so that you can see through and underneath the text. The
technique is described in detail here.
In xml:
<it.gilvegliach.android.transparenttexttextview.TransparentTextTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/view_bg"
android:text="Hello World" />In code:
TransparentTextTextView tv = new TransparentTextTextView(getContext());
tv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.view_bg);
tv.setText("Hello World");compile 'it.gilvegliach.android:transparent-text-textview:1.0.2'Copyright 2016 Gil Vegliach
