TextClassification

Kotlin |Java

public final class TextClassification
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.textclassifier.TextClassification

Information for generating a widget to handle classified text.

A TextClassification object contains icons, labels, onClickListeners and intents that may be used to build a widget that can be used to act on classified text. There is the concept of a primary action and other secondary actions.

e.g. building a view that, when clicked, shares the classified text with the preferred app:

// Called preferably outside the UiThread.
   TextClassification classification = textClassifier.classifyText(allText, 10, 25);

   // Called on the UiThread.
   Button button = new Button(context);
   button.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(classification.getIcon(), null, null, null);
   button.setText(classification.getLabel());
   button.setOnClickListener(v -> classification.getActions().get(0).getActionIntent().send());

e.g. starting an action mode with menu items that can handle the classified text:

// Called preferably outside the UiThread.
   final TextClassification classification = textClassifier.classifyText(allText, 10, 25);

   // Called on the UiThread.
   view.startActionMode(new ActionMode.Callback() {

       public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
           for (int i = 0; i < classification.getActions().size(); ++i) {
              RemoteAction action = classification.getActions().get(i);
              menu.add(Menu.NONE, i, 20, action.getTitle())
                 .setIcon(action.getIcon());
           }
           return true;
       }

       public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
           classification.getActions().get(item.getItemId()).getActionIntent().send();
           return true;
       }

       ...
   });

describeContents

Added in API level 28

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.
