Small helper function for doing kerning on android texts

kerning.java

/**
 * Apply kerning to a string
 *
 * @param src       the source string
 * @param kerning   the amount of kerning
 * @return the spannable output
 */
public static Spannable applyKerning(CharSequence src, float kerning) {
    if (src == null) return null;
    final int srcLength = src.length();
    if (srcLength < 2) return src instanceof Spannable
            ? (Spannable) src
            : new SpannableString(src);

    final String nonBreakingSpace = "\u00A0";
    final SpannableStringBuilder builder = src instanceof SpannableStringBuilder
            ? (SpannableStringBuilder) src
            : new SpannableStringBuilder(src);
    for (int i = src.length() - 1; i >= 1; i--) {
        builder.insert(i, nonBreakingSpace);
        builder.setSpan(new ScaleXSpan(kerning), i, i + 1,
                Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    }

    return builder;
}

This is actually spacing, not kerning.
