##fontView An Android custom view to create styled images from characters in font files. The view takes care of pulling fonts from a network location or locally and caches them.

This project includes an example Android app which uses FontView. Both the example .apk and fontview.jar are available in the bin/ directory.

####Example usage:

  	// Setup our colors
	int red = getResources().getColor(R.color.red);
	int yellow = getResources().getColor(R.color.yellow);
	int white = getResources().getColor(R.color.white);

	// Allow a font to be pre-fetched instead of lazy loaded
	FontView.preFetchNetworkFont(getApplicationContext(), Constants.REMOTE_FONT);
	// Graphically depict draw time in milliseconds, and output mode debug info to logcat
	FontView.enableDebugging(IMAGE_DEBUGGING);

	// Initialize the FontView
	// A font can be pulled and cached from:
	// -Network locations (http url)
	// -Java/Android File objects
	// -Android Assets
	fontView.setupFont("fonts/font.ttf", character, FontView.ImageType.CIRCLE);
	// fontView.setFont("http://some.network.location.com/badges.ttf", false, character, FontView.ImageType.CIRCLE);

	// Useful for recycling to clean out all settings
	fontView.resetDecorators();

	// Some configuration explination
	// To style the character you can choose:
	//
	// --A foreground color - the color of the character
	// --A background color - the background behind the character
	// --An outer color - the optional enclosing color when dealing with circles (outside the circle)
	// --A half color - the optional color for the bottom half of a shape's background
	// --A type - circle, square, half circle
	// --A gradient background flag - if both background and half colors are passed
	//
	// FontView.NOT_USED may be passed for a color that you want disabled

	// You can also fine tune placement of glyphs
	fontView.setYOffset(10);
	// Font size can be fine tuned as well
	fontView.setFontSizeMultiplier(0.8);

	// Load and show the character and configuration using the decoration pattern
        fontView.addForegroundColor(red);
        fontView.addBackgroundColor(white);
        fontView.addOuterColor(white);
