SliceItem

public final class SliceItem
extends Object implements VersionedParcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.slice.SliceItem

A SliceItem is a single unit in the tree structure of a Slice.

A SliceItem a piece of content and some hints about what that content means or how it should be displayed. The types of content can be:

  • SliceItem.FORMAT_SLICE
  • SliceItem.FORMAT_TEXT
  • SliceItem.FORMAT_IMAGE
  • SliceItem.FORMAT_ACTION
  • SliceItem.FORMAT_INT
  • SliceItem.FORMAT_LONG

    • The hints that a SliceItem are a set of strings which annotate the content. The hints that are guaranteed to be understood by the system are defined on Slice.

    Public methods

    static ParcelableSpan createSensitiveSpan()

    Creates a span object that identifies content that should be redacted when acquired using getRedactedText().

    void fireAction(Context context, Intent i)

    Trigger the action on this SliceItem.

    PendingIntent getAction()
    String getFormat()

    Get the format of this SliceItem.

    List<String> getHints()

    Gets all hints associated with this SliceItem.

    IconCompat getIcon()
    int getInt()
    long getLong()
    CharSequence getRedactedText()

    Get the same content as getText() except with content that should be excluded from persistent logs because it was tagged with createSensitiveSpan().

    Slice getSlice()
    String getSubType()

    Get the sub-type of this SliceItem.

    CharSequence getText()
    boolean hasHint(String hint)
    void onPostParceling()

    Called immediately after this object has been deserialized, can be used to handle any custom fields that cannot be easily annotated.

    void onPreParceling(boolean isStream)

    Called immediately before this object is going to be serialized, can be used to handle any custom fields that cannot be easily annotated.

    createSensitiveSpan

    public static ParcelableSpan createSensitiveSpan ()

    Creates a span object that identifies content that should be redacted when acquired using getRedactedText().

    Returns
    ParcelableSpan

    fireAction

    public void fireAction (Context context, 
                Intent i)

  • SliceItem.FORMAT_REMOTE_INPUT

    • Returns
    String

    getHints

    public List<String> getHints ()

    Gets all hints associated with this SliceItem.

    Returns
    List<String> Array of hints.

    getIcon

    public IconCompat getIcon ()

    Returns
    IconCompat The icon held by this SliceItem.FORMAT_IMAGE SliceItem

    public int getInt ()

    Returns

    public long getLong ()

    Returns
    long The long held by this SliceItem.FORMAT_LONG SliceItem

    getRedactedText

    public CharSequence getRedactedText ()

    getSlice

    public Slice getSlice ()

    Returns
    Slice The slice held by this SliceItem.FORMAT_ACTION or SliceItem.FORMAT_SLICE SliceItem

    getSubType

    public String getSubType ()

    Get the sub-type of this SliceItem.

    Subtypes provide additional information about the type of this information beyond basic interpretations inferred by getFormat(). For example a slice may contain many SliceItem.FORMAT_TEXT items, but only some of them may be Slice.SUBTYPE_MESSAGE.

    Returns
    String
