all right, answering my own question again.
i figured out how to achieve that effect, adjust the matrix and the
gradient parameter to adjust effect to your own liking.
txtPaint = new Paint();
txtPaint.setColor(Color.GRAY);
txtPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
txtPaint.setTextSize(25);
shader = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 200, 0,
new int[]{Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120),
Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120), Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255)}, new
float[]{0, 0.7f, 1}, TileMode.MIRROR);
txtPaint.setShader(shader);
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
float elapsed = (now - lastTime)/7;
dx+= elapsed;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setTranslate(dx, 0);
shader.setLocalMatrix(matrix);
canvas.drawText("Text mask effect", 0, 25, txtPaint);
lastTime = now;
invalidate();
}
