TextViewOverflowing

TextViewOverflowing is a custom android view that allows reflowing from one TextView to another. (a la Windows 8 XAML)

Setup

Grab TextViewOverflowing.java and add that to your project (found under *app\src\main\java\net\justinangel\textoverflowexample* in this repository)

Add a TextViewOverflowing and TextView to your UI.

   <net.justinangel.textoverflowexample.TextViewOverflowing
    android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse id elit tempus, semper elit et, faucibus leo. Suspendisse urna urna, ornare in rutrum et, rhoncus sed risus."
    android:id="@+id/TextViewOverflowing" />
   <TextView android:text="I'm overflow text placeholder"
     android:id="@+id/overflowTextView" />

Hookup the TextViewOverflowing to your overflow TextView.

  TextViewOverflowing textViewOverflowing = (TextViewOverflowing) findViewById(R.id.TextViewOverflowing);
  textViewOverflowing.setOverflowTextViewId(R.id.overflowTextView);

Run! Whenever TextViewOverflowing is partially hidden the remainder of the text should show up in your overflow TextView.

More options

It's possible to manually reflow text by registering to TextViewOverflowing.setOverflowTextListener.

    textViewOverflowing.setOverflowTextListener(new TextViewOverflowing.OverflowTextListener() {
      @Override
      public void overflowTextCalculated(String overflowText) {
          textViewOverflowing.setOverflowTextListener(null);
          overflowTextView.setText(overflowText);
      }
   });

It's possible to chain reflow text between multiple TextViewOverflowing.
