user interface - Text with gradient in Android

Question

How would I extend TextView to allow the drawing of text with a gradient effect?

Answer 1

TextView secondTextView = new TextView(this);
Shader textShader=new LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, 20,
            new int[]{Color.GREEN,Color.BLUE},
            new float[]{0, 1}, TileMode.CLAMP);
secondTextView.getPaint().setShader(textShader);
