TextView

open class TextView : RelativeLayout, RevelControl, DownloadFileTask2.OnCompleted

A custom view that displays text, offering two rendering modes:

Native Rendering: Uses an embedded androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView for displaying text directly on the device. This mode supports auto-sizing text.
Image Rendering: Sends the text and styling parameters to a remote service, which generates an image of the text. This image is then downloaded and displayed in an ImageView. This mode can be useful for achieving consistent text appearance across different devices or for complex styling not easily achievable natively.

The rendering mode can be switched using setUseNativeRendering.

This view implements RevelControl for integration into the RevelDigital player system, allowing it to be managed as a content module. It uses DownloadFileTask2 for asynchronous image downloading when in image rendering mode.
