TextClassifier

Kotlin |Java

public abstract class TextClassifier
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	androidx.textclassifier.TextClassifier

---

Interface for providing text classification related features. TextClassifier acts as a proxy to either the system provided TextClassifier, or an equivalent implementation provided by an app. Each instance of the class therefore represents one connection to the classifier implementation.

Unless otherwise stated, methods of this interface are blocking operations. Avoid calling them on the UI thread.
