A EditText with syntax highlight support

Native Syntax Highlighter for Android

This library allows you to highlight syntax in an Android Native way using Spannable. A different way than other syntax highlighters that use a WebView with a Javascript library.

Features:

• Optimized: set the spans only in the current line, in a region or in the entire view.
• Personalization: Add your own rules using JSON. They can be loaded from a JSON string or a JSON file in assets or in the external storage.
• Read Only: use it as a TextView
• Any number of rules: add all the rules that you want (could affect the performance)

By default this library does not include any syntax; you can create your own syntax files using JSON or by adding the Syntax rules by code.

Something extra!

This library includes the LineCountLayout witch extends from ScrollView and allows you to add line numbers to any EditText.
