BabushkaText
============
BabushkaText is a custom `TextView` which lets you customize the styling of parts of your text via
`Spannables`, but without the hassle of having to deal directly with Spannable themselves.
* Create complex style structures for your text without having to add multiple `TextViews` to your
view hierarchy.
* Eliminate `setSpan(Object what, int start, int end, int flags)` calls by using more convenient
methods such as `.style(Typeface.BOLD)`, `.superscript()` and others.
What can I do with BabushkaText?
--------
Examples of different styles. Each one is a **single** TextView.
Example
--------
Generate the following style:
With the code below:
```java
BabushkaText babushka = (BabushkaText)findViewById(R.id.babushka_text);
// Add the first piece "Central Park"
babushka.addPiece(new BabushkaText.Piece.Builder("Central Park, NY\n")
.textColor(Color.parseColor("#414141"))
.build());
// Add the second piece "1.2 mi"
babushka.addPiece(new BabushkaText.Piece.Builder("1.2 mi ")
.textColor(Color.parseColor("#0081E2"))
.textSizeRelative(0.9f)
.build());
// Add the third piece "from here"
babushka.addPiece(new BabushkaText.Piece.Builder("from here")
.textColor(Color.parseColor("#969696"))
.textSizeRelative(0.9f)
.build());
// Display the final, styled text
babushka.display();
```
What kind of styles can I add?
--------
Right now you can customize the style of your text by using the following methods, which internally
get converted to the corresponding `Spannables`
| Babushka Method | Internal Span |
| ------------- |:-------------:|
| textSize | AbsoluteSizeSpan |
| textColor | ForegroundColorSpan |
| textSizeRelative | RelativeSizeSpan |
| backgroundColor | BackgroundColorSpan |
| style | StyleSpan |
| underline | UnderlineSpan |
| strike | StrikethroughSpan |
| superscript | SuperscriptSpan |
| subscript | SubscriptSpan |
What else can I do?
--------
Once you've created and displayed your BabushkaText, you can modify the text contents of each
`Piece` individually. For example, if we want to change the `1.2 mi` from the above example into
`1.9 km`, we could do the following:
```java
// grab the Piece at position 1
Piece piece = babushka.getPiece(1);
// modify it's text
piece.setText("1.9 km ");
// you must always call display after you alter a Piece's text
babushka.display();
```
