Animated TextView like Timely app

Animated TextView like Timely app

Intital commit for Animated TextView present in the Timely(Alarm) App. This is just an addition to the concept explained by Sriram Ramani here : http://sriramramani.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/number-tweening/

I have just figured out missing bits & pieces and made a simple library out of it. Please thank Sriram if this helped you. Also please note I have been very busy and this was the outcome of just 2hrs of work on a lazy Monday afternoon, so there might be a few bugs. It would be great if anyone else wants to contribute and take this to the next level. Have a few ideas in mind already, feel free to get in touch and send Pull Requests.

Usage :

XML Layout -

    <com.example.timelytextview.NumberView  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="40sp"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" 
            app:animate="once" 
            app:count="down"
       />

Java -

     public class MainActivity extends Activity {
     NumberView mNumView;
               @Override
               protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
                     mNumView = (NumberView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
                     mNumView.setAnimationType("loop");
                     mNumView.setCountType("up");
               }
    }

The animate and count parameters control the looping and counter.

animate = once, loop (loop will make the numbers count infintely in a loop from 0-9, once would count only once)

count = up, down (up will count the numbers from 0-9 while down will count from 9-0)

P.S : I suck at UI and animations and don't really know much, so if there are any bugs/performance issues I am to blame. Feel free to point them out to me so that I can fix them. It would be even better if you fix them !
