JustifiedTextView
=========

JustifiedTextView is an Android View that justifies the Text! 🙌🏻
Android introduced in **API level 26** the method [setJustificationMode(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setJustificationMode(int)), which is meant to justify the text inside a TextView.
If your min API level is 26, I recommend **TextView.setJustificationMode(int)**. But if you need to support older Android versions, JustifiedTextView is what you need 😉
## Usage
You just have to add the view in your layout:
```xml
```
**And that's it!** 🎉 the text contained in the JustifiedTextView will be justified. (In this example I used 15sp as textSize, but you can use a different textSize and it won't be a problem).
**You can set the text programmatically as well** 👍🏻, you can even use JustifiedTextView as a regular TextView in your java class (because it extends TextView) and the result would be the same justified text in your UI.
Here is an example:
```java
TextView justifiedParagraph = findViewById(R.id.tv_justified_paragraph);
justifiedParagraph.setText(R.string.lorem_ipsum_extended);
````
