I wan that same in my android application that text changes after some time
For this i use count down timer to introduce delay between the text view changes. but it doesnt work.
NOTE:please be more specific in asking questions.
Also have you tried anything yet..
It can simply be achieved by a TimerTask repeating in desired interval,, In which the textView .setText(new value).
If you desire exact view as shown than the TextView width and height would be wrap content with text color white and background color black.
You might want to subclass from TextView adding a timer and text1 text2 attributes, and calling setText(text1) or setText(text2) on timer ticks.
Just to be clear, I'm a co-founder of Zapier and we are not associated with this question nor do we condone adding vague questions to Stack Overflow. ;-)
If you can clarify what you are interested in (the animations? the timer? the css?) I'd be happy to talk about what we're doing. Not really sure what the reference to Android means.

I want to make a custom checkbox for my Alarm clock app, to match the days of the week. When unchecked, it would display the letter of the day of the week; when checked, it would show the letter in a circle. If needs be, I can always make a vector image of each state for each of the days; but it seems that if possible, it would be much more simple and useful to be able to superimpose the text over top of the checkbox image. On researching, it seems people used to have problems with this happening on accident when setting the padding to 0, but this was fixed and is no longer an option.
Does anybody know if there is currently a way to accomplish this by design? Another option I thought of is doing this in a normal button and adding checked functionality, but this seems like taking a step backwards and reinventing the wheel. Any thoughts?
It was so obvious in retrospect, it makes me regret how long I spent Googling it. A negative paddingStart will move the text back over the chechbox, but will cut off the end of the checkbox - at least in the GridView it was a part of. Adding a paddingEnd sufficient to counterbalance it pushed the grid back to the right so it wasn't cutting off the end of the checkbox.
Yesterday I asked a question about the TextView. I read and I see that it's very difficult to understand. So, I'm sorry.
Now I explain better my problem:
I try to personalize my TextView. I tried two different things:
I use photoshop, I made an image text and I use it as a drawable. The image re-sized isn't with right quality
I try to use the text of TextView, but I can't change the family of the text (the app crashed). Then I don't know how to set gradient as text color and border in the text.
What can I do?
Edit: yes! For the point 1 I use an ImageView inside of TextView. In point 2 I use TextView. I have problem in both situation!
I think to customize textview (any view) you have to implement your own custom view by creating your custom class.
Here is link for custom text view,i hope i will find it useful

is there an easy way to create a text view with an icon inside the text?
like in this number of rates example:
(** 3,45642)
(I have less then reputeshion 10 so I cant insert the image I wanted
** means an icon of a small man)
or is it part of RatingBar that i couldn't find?
I don't want to use android:drawableLeft="#drawable/my_icon"
as i feel like the parenthesis are critical.
Many thanks for any help!
Check out SpannableStringBuilder class.
Usage examples are posted here:
http://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?api=android.text.SpannableStringBuilder
This is quite hard to understand, but I'm trying to find out how to make a TextView adapt to change the text spacing between words on a line which allows the text to reach the very right side of the TextView.
Consider this as an example (this should get my point across):
This one is a line of text which fills the view itself
This is another that does the same thing
How would I go about making my text react like this? An example application which does this is Pocket, so I know it can be done - I just don't know how.
Any help is appreciated!
What you're referring to is called text justification and is something that has been discussed more than once here on SO in the context of Android.
The short answer is that, unfortunately, justification is currently not (natively) supported by the TextView widget. There are however workarounds that involve either:
Manipulating the text in the TextView in such a way that the result is visually close to that of justification. Example.
Using a WebView to render the text. Example.
Justifying text on a web page is trivial, but the WebView is a more heavyweight component than a TextView, and hence the feature will come with a performance penalty.
Note that I don't know what approach Pocket is using for their articles, but there are ways to figure that out, and they're not too complicated. That's a completely different can of worms though, so I'll leave it at that.
Sorry for the bad title, but I don't speak very well english. My problem (I'm working on since 2 hours) is just a detail but I want to know how to solve it, and this could help someone in the future.
I've already searched on StackOverflow and other websites, but i don't find the solution to my problem, so there it is :
I have a textView, I make it scrollable using this (second line) :
textViewDesc = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewDesc);
textViewDesc.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
and I use these attributes of the xml file :
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:maxLines="100"
When I push my button on my app, it searches text from the internet and put it into my TextView. This works well, but the "failure" is the TextView starts not with the beginning of the text, but it finish with the end (I don't see the beginning, i have to scroll it).
And i think it's not obvious to a people using my app that he has to start scrolling to the top of the textView before starting his reading.
I hope you understand my problem, and help me to fix this.
Thank you in advance
What about textViewDesc.setScrollY(0) ?
Also, I've noticed that TextView scrolling is pretty unreliable. What about putting your TextView inside a ScrollView instead? (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html)
