Tiny Text Styler

The code for applying vanilla string resources:

withoutStyleTextView.text = getString(R.string.demo)

quickly becomes unwieldy when using string resources with annotations.

Tiny Text Styler is a kotlin android convenience lib that provides some syntactic sugar when setting annotated string resources to your text view:

withStyleTextView.text = getStyledText(R.string.demo, textStyler)

Gradle

implementation 'dev.markcharles:tiny-text-styler:0.1.0'

Usage

getStyledText() requires a TinyTextStyler implementation. DefaultTextStyler has been provided as an out the box TinyTextStyler implementation and is extendable.

Convert string resources using annotations

Before

<string name="demo">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog %1$d %2$s.</string>
