AlignmentSpan.Standard

public static class AlignmentSpan.Standard
extends Object implements AlignmentSpan, ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.text.style.AlignmentSpan.Standard


Default implementation of the AlignmentSpan.

For example, a text written in a left to right language, like English, which is by default aligned to the left, can be aligned opposite to the layout direction like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with opposite alignment");
string.setSpan(new AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_OPPOSITE), 0,
string.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Align left to right text opposite to the layout direction.

A text written in a right to left language, like Hebrew, which is by default aligned to the right, can be aligned opposite to the layout direction like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("\u05d8\u05e7\u05e1\u05d8 \u05e2\u05dd \u05d9\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e4\u05d5\u05da");
string.setSpan(new AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_OPPOSITE), 0,
string.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Align right to left text opposite to the layout direction.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 3
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getAlignment

Added in API level 1
public Layout.Alignment getAlignment ()

Returns the alignment of the text.

Returns
Layout.Alignment the text alignment

getSpanTypeId

Added in API level 3
public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
int

toString

Added in API level 1
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 3
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
