BidiClassifier

public class BidiClassifier
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.icu.text.BidiClassifier


Overrides default Bidi class values with custom ones.

The override mechanism requires to define a subclass of BidiClassifier which overrides the classifier method to assign customized Bidi classes.

This may be useful for assigning Bidi classes to PUA characters, or for special application needs. For instance, an application may want to handle all spaces like L or R characters (according to the base direction) when creating the visual ordering of logical lines which are part of a report organized in columns: there should not be interaction between adjacent cells.

To start using this customized classifier with a Bidi object, it must be specified by calling the Bidi.setCustomClassifier method; after that, the method classify of the custom BidiClassifier will be called by the UBA implementation any time the class of a character is to be determined.
