Linkify.MatchFilter
| android.text.util.Linkify.MatchFilter
|
MatchFilter enables client code to have more control over
what is allowed to match and become a link, and what is not.
For example: when matching web URLs you would like things like
http://www.example.com to match, as well as just example.com itelf.
However, you would not want to match against the domain in
support@example.com. So, when matching against a web URL pattern you
might also include a MatchFilter that disallows the match if it is
immediately preceded by an at-sign (@).
