Highlight

The main goal for creating the CodeView library is to not be limited by a list of highlighters that come with any library but to have the ability to create a highlighter for any set of data, so you can highlight and provide other features for any programming language or data.

To highlight pattern with color.

codeView.addSyntaxPattern(pattern, Color);

You can add a Map<Pattern, Color> instead of adding patterns one by one

codeView.setSyntaxPatternsMap(syntaxPatterns);

You can also remove pattern in the runtime

codeView.removeSyntaxPattern(pattern);

Highlight the text depend on the new patterns

codeView.reHighlightSyntax();

Un highlight all tokens

codeView.resetHighlighter();

Clear all patterns from CodeView

codeView.resetSyntaxPatternList();

Set highlighter update delay

codeView.setUpdateDelayTime();

You can control when to highlight the text

codeView.highlightWhileTextChanging(highlightWhileTextChanging);

Add error line with dynamic color to support error, hint, warn...etc

codeView.addErrorLine(lineNumber, color);

Clear all error lines

codeView.removeAllErrorLines();

Highlight the errors depend on the error lines

codeView.reHighlightErrors();

Get the number of errors

int numberOfErrors = codeView.getErrorsSize();
