      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_gravity="center"
      android:text="The gun is loaded when the glass is full"
      android:textColor="#FFFFFF"

StrangerTextView extend from AppCompatTextView the you can use it like a normal TextView. But you can add some kind of span in background like this:

StrangerTextView titleTextView = (StrangerTextView) findViewById(R.id.title_text_view)

titleTextView.spans = listOf(Pair(0, 5), Pair(10, 15))

In this example, the background will start from the first character to the 5th and from the 10th to the 15th character.

You can start and reset the animation like this:

titleTextView.startAnimation()

titleTextView.resetAnimation()

You can also set a callback on backgrounds click like:

titleTextView.callback = { rect, str ->
    doWhatDoYouWant(rect, str);
}
