Android Code Snippet To Make a simple CharSequence:

We all need colored text, but using Append & Pop is really tiring when we have many spans.
This command uses (Message As String) so you can anytime have a colored message without turning the message into CSBuilder.

Most of time we don't need more than a colored message!

'To Make a simple CharSequence:
'Message="Color1/text1/Color2/text2/Color3/text3...."
'Color1 can be TheColorName or TheColorNumber ex: (red or 4)
'  Example : <code>
'Dim msg As string
'msg="black/Hello Mr. /red/Antoine /green/*EGO*/gray/ How are you?"
''msg="0/Hello Mr. /4/Antoine /2/*EGO*/8/ How are you?"
'Msgbox(CS(msg),"Title")
'  Equals to :
'Dim msg As CSBuilder
'msg.Initialize.Append("Hello Mr. ").Color(Colors.Red).Append("Antoine ").Pop. _
'Color(Colors.Green).Bold.Append("EGO").Pop.Pop.color(Colors.gray).Append _
'(" How are you?").PopAll
'Msgbox(msg,"Title")
'</code>
'If Color is omitted so it is Black
'If text is written like *txt* so it is Bold
'If text starts with {} so a new line is added, Example:<code>
'Message="red/Dear sir/blue/{}Hope we meet tomorrow./green/{}*Thanks*"
'Message="4/Dear sir/1/{}Hope we meet tomorrow./2/{}*Thanks*"
'Message="/Dear sir//{}Hope we meet tomorrow.//{}*Thanks*"
'</code>
