An Android library that animates text in TextViews using Spans, emulating the jumping '...' typing indicator from Google Hangouts. It can append three jumping dots or make any arbitrary subsection of a CharSequence jump as a wave or a block.
Use cases
- show a typing indicator with animated dots in a chat app
- animate the ellipsis while waiting for content to load
- make a word's letters bounce in an Android TextView
- add playful text animations to an Android UI
- replicate Hangouts-style jumping dots
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, Span-based text animation on Android
- you want a Hangouts-style typing indicator without writing custom animations
- you need to animate arbitrary text ranges in a TextView
When to avoid
- you target modern Android with Jetpack Compose instead of View-based TextViews
- you need a maintained library with active support or a clear license
- you need animations beyond simple text jumping
