Recently I've wanted to do something artsy with my new project like, as the title suggests, add a background image as a text's background, rather than the typical constant color all around. Specifically, I have a gradient image for this text.

Something like this

[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/TCQ8V.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/TCQ8V.png)

Typically I would expect an xml drawable resource file type solution, but any simple solution is greatly appreciated

**EDIT:** 

Thanks for all the shader solutions, but for the sake of the question, only answers that provide a solution regarding image backgrounds will be accepted/given bounty
