## What it is
A companion Android demo app for the 'Advanced Android TextView' talk, showcasing advanced text rendering techniques in Java. It demonstrates features like animated compound drawables, gradient and patterned text, custom fonts, styled strings, spans, and emoji.

## Use cases
- learn advanced Android TextView techniques

- you want working sample code accompanying the Advanced Android TextView talk
- you need reference implementations for gradient text, animated spans, or emoji rendering

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready text styling library rather than a demo app
- you develop for platforms other than Android
- you need actively maintained code with recent updates
