                Drawable bottom)

Sets the Drawables (if any) to appear to the start of, above, to the end of, and below the text. Use null if you do not want a Drawable there. The Drawables' bounds will be set to their intrinsic bounds.

Calling this method will overwrite any Drawables previously set using setCompoundDrawables(Drawable, Drawable, Drawable, Drawable) or related methods.

Parameters

setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds

added in version 22.1.0

start int: Resource identifier of the start Drawable.

top int: Resource identifier of the top Drawable.

setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback

added in version 27.1.0
void setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback (TextView textView, 
                ActionMode.Callback callback)

Sets a selection action mode callback on a TextView. Also this method can be used to fix a bug in framework SDK 26. On these affected devices, the bug causes the menu containing the options for handling ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT after text selection to miss a number of items. This method can be used to fix this wrong behaviour for a text view, by passing any custom callback implementation. If no custom callback is desired, a no-op implementation should be provided. Note that, by default, the bug will only be fixed when the default floating toolbar menu implementation is used. If a custom implementation of Menu is provided, this should provide the method Menu#removeItemAt(int) which removes a menu item by its position, as given by Menu#getItem(int). Also, the following post condition should hold: a call to removeItemAt(i), should not modify the results of getItem(j) for any j < i. Intuitively, removing an element from the menu should behave as removing an element from a list. Note that this method does not exist in the Menu interface. However, it is required, and going to be called by reflection, in order to display the correct process text items in the menu.

Parameters
textView TextView: The TextView to set the action selection mode callback on.

callback ActionMode.Callback: The action selection mode callback to set on textView.

setTextAppearance

added in version 24.1.0
void setTextAppearance (TextView textView, 
                int resId)

Sets the text appearance from the specified style resource.

Use a framework-defined TextAppearance style like @android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Body1.

Parameters
textView TextView: The TextView against which to invoke the method.

resId int: The resource identifier of the style to apply.
