Kirai means phrase in Swahili language.

Project is inspired by phrase, TaggerString and BabushkaText. Kirai has fluent API similar to phrase with additional formatting similar to TaggerString and allows to add formatted pieces of text like BabushkaText.

CharSequence formatted = Kirai
   .from("Hi {first_name}, your are {age} years old.")
   .put("first_name", firstName)
   .put("age", age)
   .format();

CharSequence formatted = Kirai
   .from("Hi {first_name}, your are {age} years old.")
   .put(Piece.put("first_name", firstName).bold().italic().big())
   .put(Piece.put("age", age).underline().color("#FF0000"))
   .format();

textView.setText(formatted);

You can depend on the library through Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.pwittchen.kirai</groupId>
    <artifactId>library</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

or through Gradle:

dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.pwittchen.kirai:library:1.0.0'
}

Unit Tests are available in androidTest directory of the library project. We need launched and attached Android device or emulator in order to run them. Tests were written according to TDD methodology. They determine library specification and check if project is fault-tolerant.
