A little animation framework which could help you to show message in a nice looking way.

1. Create TextSurface instance or add it in your layout.
2. Create Text instancies with TextBuilder defining appearance of text and position:

Text textDaai = TextBuilder
		.create("Daai")
		.setSize(64)
		.setAlpha(0)
		.setColor(Color.WHITE)
		.setPosition(Align.SURFACE_CENTER).build();

3. Create animations and pass them to the TextSurface instance:

textSurface.play(
		new Sequential(
				Slide.showFrom(Side.TOP, textDaai, 500),
				Delay.duration(500),
				Alpha.hide(textDaai, 1500)
		)
);

See full sample here.

• To play animations sequentially use Sequential.java

• To play animations simultaneously use Parallel.java

• Animations/effects could be combined like this:

  new Parallel(Alpha.show(textA, 500), ChangeColor.to(textA, 500, Color.RED))

  i.e. alpha and color of text will be changed simultaneously in 500ms

There're two basic classes which you could extend to add custom animation:

• AbstractSurfaceAnimation.java to animate basic parameters like alpha, translation, scale and others. (See Alpha.java or ChangeColor.java)
• ITextEffect.java interface which could be used for more complex animations. (See Rotate3D.java or ShapeReveal.java)
