title: Animating Text in Canvas - Android
body: <p>Hi I have an app in android that draws texts on Canvas using canvas.drawText(). Now, I would like to animate the drawing of text such that it will be colored from left to right similar to a karaoke animation. Is this possible? Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I am now able to do this using threads and redrawing the whole canvas everytime there's a new letter to be shaded or colored.</p>
