You should also consider [migrating](/jetpack/androidx/migrate) existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library [class\n| mappings](/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).\n\nInterfaces\n----------\n\n|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| [TextDirectionHeuristicCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextDirectionHeuristicCompat) | Interface for objects that use a heuristic for guessing at the paragraph direction by examining text. |\n\nClasses\n-------\n\n|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| [BidiFormatter](/reference/android/support/v4/text/BidiFormatter) | Utility class for formatting text for display in a potentially opposite-directionality context without garbling. |\n| [BidiFormatter.Builder](/reference/android/support/v4/text/BidiFormatter.Builder) | A class for building a BidiFormatter with non-default options. |\n| [ICUCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/ICUCompat) | |\n| [TextDirectionHeuristicsCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextDirectionHeuristicsCompat) | Some objects that implement TextDirectionHeuristic. |\n| [TextUtilsCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextUtilsCompat) | Backwards compatible version of [TextUtils](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/TextUtils.html). |\n\n-\n\n Interfaces\n ----------\n\n - [TextDirectionHeuristicCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextDirectionHeuristicCompat)\n-\n\n Classes\n -------\n\n - [BidiFormatter](/reference/android/support/v4/text/BidiFormatter)\n - [BidiFormatter.Builder](/reference/android/support/v4/text/BidiFormatter.Builder)\n - [ICUCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/ICUCompat)\n - [TextDirectionHeuristicsCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextDirectionHeuristicsCompat)\n - [TextUtilsCompat](/reference/android/support/v4/text/TextUtilsCompat)"]]
