Ever wondered if there was just simple lightweight and efficent font styling library for a quick text editor .Well you've come to the right place with just [BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE, HIGHLIGHT, INCREMENTAL_SIZE, FIXED_SIZE] this library has whats neccessary for a basic clean text formatting

Prerequisites

Add this in your root build.gradle file (not your module build.gradle file):

    allprojects {
    	repositories {
    		...
    		maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    	}
    }

}

Usage

Just this one method

  SimpleStyling.format(FormattingType, SelectionStart, SelectionEnd, EditTextName, sizeValue, HighLightColor);

PARAMETERS

FormattingType: required operation to be performed on the selected text. It uses the SimpleStyling.FormattingType enum:

- BOLD: makes text bold
- ITALIC: makes text italic
- UNDERLINE: underlines text
- HIGHLIGHT: highlights text provided the color is in integer 'HighLightColor'
- INCREMENTAL_SIZE: Incremental increase/decrease of text size by amount of 'sizeValue'
- FIXED_SIZE: changes text to a specific size specified in 'sizeValue'

SelectionStart : start of selection

SelectionEnd : end of selection

EditTextName : name of the editText View

sizeValue : required value for size change (increment for INCREMENTAL_SIZE, absolute for FIXED_SIZE). +ve for increase and -ve for decrease in incremental mode.

HighLightColor : required highlightColor of the text set to anything if the operation isn't HIGHLIGHT

The function

SimpleStyling.autoselection(TestEditText);

returns an array with the starting and ending indexies so a button click can be used this way:-

            SimpleStyling.format(SimpleStyling.FormattingType.INCREMENTAL_SIZE, SimpleStyling.autoselection(TestEditText)[0], SimpleStyling.autoselection(TestEditText)[1], TestEditText, 6, 0);

#If you want to be sure you can see the underline, disable the textAutoCorrection this way:-

            m.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_FILTER | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE | InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
