Supported True color formats

True color is 38, 48, or 58 with T + args.
Example: 38;2;164;198;57 set foreground color to rgb(164, 198, 57)

2 -> R;G;B
5 -> X (Only support from 0 to 15, see: Wikipedia ANSI Page)

Note: String.trim() may remove escape sequences, use AnsiParser.patchEscapeSequence first to avoid escape sequences from being trimmed.

Setup

Gradle

Add jitpack, example to add to settings.gradle:

// Only add if `dependencyResolutionManagement` already exists
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://jitpack.io'
        }
    }
}

// Only add "repositories" if "dependencyResolutionManagement" didn't exists in "settings.gradle"
repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://jitpack.io'
    }
}


dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.Fox2Code.AndroidANSI:library:1.2.0'
    // You can also add the ktx module for the kotlin extension.
    implementation 'com.github.Fox2Code.AndroidANSI:library-ktx:1.2.0'
}

TextView

TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.ansiView);
AnsiParser.setAnsiText(textView, // It's "AndroidANSI!" but with color & style
        "\\e[1;38;2;164;198;57mAndroid\\e[0;35mAN\u001B[2mSI\u001B[0;73m!",
        AnsiParser.FLAG_PARSE_DISABLE_SUBSCRIPT); // Also disable superscript

AnsiTextView

Layout

<com.fox2code.androidansi.AnsiTextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/ansiView" />

Activity

AnsiTextView textView = findViewById(R.id.ansiView);
textView.setAnsiText("\\e[1;38;2;164;198;57mAndroid\\e[0;35mAN\u001B[2mSI\u001B[0;73m!",
        AnsiParser.FLAG_PARSE_DISABLE_SUBSCRIPT);

AnsiTextView w/o Java/Kotlin (WIP)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.fox2code.androidansi.AnsiTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:ansiText="\e[38;5;82mHello \e[38;5;198mWorld"
        android:id="@+id/ansiView"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Note: AnsiTextView support Emoji2 if the library androidx.emoji2:emoji2-views-helper:* is added.

How do I use in my modules?

Just add this to your module and use the different variables.

if [ "$ANSI_SUPPORT" == "true" ]; then
  ESC="$(echo -e "\033")"
  RED="$ESC[91m"
  ORANGE="$ESC[33m"
  YELLOW="$ESC[93m"
  GREEN="$ESC[92m"
  CYAN="$ESC[96m"
  BLUE="$ESC[94m"
  PURPLE="$ESC[95m"
  RESET="$ESC[0m"
else
  ESC=""
  RED=""
  ORANGE=""
  YELLOW=""
  GREEN=""
  CYAN=""
  BLUE=""
  PURPLE=""
  RESET=""
