+##Usage
+
+First, you need to create a string-array in your values folder like so:

+``` xml
+
+ - Hello
+ - Fading TextView
+
+```
+
+Then in your layout
+
+``` xml
+
+```
+
+###Timeout
+
+You can set the time you want each text to appear by using the timeout attribute and specify the length of time in milliseconds. Like so:
+
+``` xml
+app:timeout="500"
+```
+
+``` xml
+
