###TextDrawable This light-weight library provides images with letter/text like the Gmail app. It extends the Drawable class thus can be used with existing/custom/network ImageView classes. Also included is a fluent interface for creating drawables and a customizable ColorGenerator.

###How to use

Import with Gradle:

repositories{
maven {
url 'http://dl.bintray.com/amulyakhare/maven'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
}

####1. Create simple tile:

<ImageViewandroid:layout_width="60dp"android:layout_height="60dp"android:id="@+id/image_view"/>

Note: Specify width/height for the ImageView and the drawable will auto-scale to fit the size.

TextDrawabledrawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.buildRect("A", Color.RED);
ImageViewimage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
image.setImageDrawable(drawable);

####2. Create rounded corner or circular tiles:

TextDrawabledrawable1 = TextDrawable.builder()
.buildRoundRect("A", Color.RED, 10); // radius in pxTextDrawabledrawable2 = TextDrawable.builder()
.buildRound("A", Color.RED);

####3. Add border:

TextDrawabledrawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.beginConfig()
.withBorder(4) /* thickness in px */
.endConfig()
.buildRoundRect("A", Color.RED, 10);

####4. Modify font style:

TextDrawabledrawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.beginConfig()
.textColor(Color.BLACK)
.useFont(Typeface.DEFAULT)
.fontSize(30) /* size in px */
.bold()
.toUpperCase()
.endConfig()
.buildRect("a", Color.RED)

####5. Built-in color generator:

ColorGeneratorgenerator = ColorGenerator.MATERIAL; // or use DEFAULT// generate random colorintcolor1 = generator.getRandomColor();
// generate color based on a key (same key returns the same color), useful for list/grid viewsintcolor2 = generator.getColor("user@gmail.com")
// declare the builder object once.TextDrawable.IBuilderbuilder = TextDrawable.builder()
.beginConfig()
.withBorder(4)
.endConfig()
.rect();
// reuse the builder specs to create multiple drawablesTextDrawableic1 = builder.build("A", color1);
TextDrawableic2 = builder.build("B", color2);

####6. Specify the width / height:

<ImageViewandroid:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:id="@+id/image_view"/>

Note: The ImageView could use wrap_content width/height. You could set the width/height of the drawable using code.

TextDrawabledrawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.beginConfig()
.width(60) // width in px
.height(60) // height in px
.endConfig()
.buildRect("A", Color.RED);
ImageViewimage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
image.setImageDrawable(drawable);

####7. Other features:

1. Mix-match with other drawables. Use it in conjunction with LayerDrawable, InsetDrawable, AnimationDrawable, TransitionDrawable etc.

2. Compatible with other views (not just ImageView). Use it as background drawable, compound drawable for TextView, Button etc.

3. Use multiple letters or unicode characters to create interesting tiles.
