Public methods

apply

Added in API level 28
public int apply (Spannable text, 
                int applyStrategy, 
                Function<TextLinks.TextLinkTextLinks.TextLinkSpan> spanFactory)

Annotates the given text with the generated links. It will fail if the provided text doesn't match the original text used to create the TextLinks.

NOTE: It may be necessary to set a LinkMovementMethod on the TextView widget to properly handle links. See TextView#setMovementMethod(MovementMethod)

Parameters
text Spannable: the text to apply the links to. Must match the original text This value cannot be null.

applyStrategy int: the apply strategy used to determine how to apply links to text. e.g TextLinks#APPLY_STRATEGY_IGNORE Value is APPLY_STRATEGY_IGNORE, or APPLY_STRATEGY_REPLACE

spanFactory Function: a custom span factory for converting TextLinks to TextLinkSpans. Set to null to use the default span factory.

Returns
int a status code indicating whether or not the links were successfully applied e.g. STATUS_LINKS_APPLIED Value is STATUS_LINKS_APPLIED, STATUS_NO_LINKS_FOUND, STATUS_NO_LINKS_APPLIED, STATUS_DIFFERENT_TEXT, or STATUS_UNSUPPORTED_CHARACTER

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.

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

getExtras

Added in API level 29
public Bundle getExtras ()

Returns the extended data.

NOTE: Do not modify this bundle.

Returns
Bundle This value cannot be null.

getLinks

Added in API level 28
public Collection<TextLinks.TextLink> getLinks ()

Returns an unmodifiable Collection of the links.

Returns
Collection<TextLinks.TextLink> This value cannot be null.

getText

Added in API level 30
public CharSequence getText ()

Returns the text that was used to generate these links.

Returns
CharSequence This value cannot be null.

toString

Added in API level 28
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 28
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written. 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
