2. Seamlessly handle long text content by truncating and expanding text as needed.

3. Customizable options for controlling the appearance and behavior of the "Read More / Read Less" functionality.

4. Lightweight and efficient implementation for smooth performance.

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.ronil-gwalani:readmore-textview:VersionName' // here VersionName = v1.0.4
   }

Step 3 Implement the Readmore image view in your Layout xml file like this

<com.ronil.readmoretextview.ReadMoreTextView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:id="@+id/readmoreTv"
      android:textColor="@color/black"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_gravity="center"
      android:text="@string/long_text" />

Step 4.In the main activity you can get the object and peform the various operations and also use the rest of the properties of the Textview

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity()  {
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
       val readMoreTextView: ReadMoreTextView =findViewById(R.id.readmoreTv)
      readMoreTextView.setCollapsedText("Show Less")
      readMoreTextView.setExpandedText("Show More")
      readMoreTextView.setCollapsedTextColor(R.color.red)
      readMoreTextView.setTrimLines(4) //By Default its 5
      readMoreTextView.setExpandedTextColor(R.color.blue)
      readMoreTextView.wantExpend(true)//  by default its true and when you click it will expend the text but if you set it false you will have perform the action in the listener
      readMoreTextView.setOnTextViewClickListener(object : TextViewClickListener {
          override fun onReadMoreClick() {
              // Handle "Read More" click event
          }

          override fun onReadLessClick() {
              // Handle "Read Less" click event
          }
      })


 }
}
