Fields
Public methods
describeContents
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 0orCONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR | 
getConfidenceScore
public float getConfidenceScore (String entity)
Returns the confidence score for the specified entity. The value ranges from 0 (low confidence) to 1 (high confidence). 0 indicates that the entity was not found for the classified text.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| entity | String: Value isTextClassifier.TYPE_UNKNOWN,TextClassifier.TYPE_OTHER,TextClassifier.TYPE_EMAIL,TextClassifier.TYPE_PHONE,TextClassifier.TYPE_ADDRESS,TextClassifier.TYPE_URL,TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE,TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE_TIME,TextClassifier.TYPE_FLIGHT_NUMBER, android.view.textclassifier.TextClassifier.TYPE_DICTIONARY,TextClassifier.TYPE_OTP, orTextClassifier.TYPE_SMS_RETRIEVER_OTP | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| float | Value is between 0.0f and 1.0f inclusive | 
getEntity
public String getEntity (int index)
Returns the entity at the specified index. Entities are ordered from high confidence to low confidence.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| index | int | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | This value cannot be null.
 Value isTextClassifier.TYPE_UNKNOWN,TextClassifier.TYPE_OTHER,TextClassifier.TYPE_EMAIL,TextClassifier.TYPE_PHONE,TextClassifier.TYPE_ADDRESS,TextClassifier.TYPE_URL,TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE,TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE_TIME,TextClassifier.TYPE_FLIGHT_NUMBER, android.view.textclassifier.TextClassifier.TYPE_DICTIONARY,TextClassifier.TYPE_OTP, orTextClassifier.TYPE_SMS_RETRIEVER_OTP | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
| IndexOutOfBoundsException | if the specified index is out of range. |
