Public methods

equals

Added in API level 29
fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
o This value may be null.
Return
Boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getAxes

Added in API level 29
fun getAxes(): Array<FontVariationAxis!>?

Get a font variation settings associated with this font

Return
Array<FontVariationAxis!>? font variation settings This value may be null.

getBuffer

Added in API level 29
fun getBuffer(): ByteBuffer

Returns a font file buffer. Duplicate before reading values by ByteBuffer#duplicate() for avoiding unexpected reading position sharing.

Return
ByteBuffer a font buffer This value cannot be null.

getFile

Added in API level 29
fun getFile(): File?

Returns a file path of this font. This returns null if this font is not created from regular file.

Return
File? a file path of the font

getGlyphBounds

Added in API level 31
fun getGlyphBounds(
    glyphId: Int,
    paint: Paint,
    outBoundingBox: RectF?
): Float

Retrieve the glyph horizontal advance and bounding box. Note that android.graphics.Typeface in android.graphics.Paint is ignored.

Parameters
glyphId Int: a glyph ID Value is 0 or greater
paint Paint: a paint object used for resolving glyph style This value cannot be null.
outBoundingBox RectF?: a nullable destination object. If null is passed, this function just return the horizontal advance. If non-null is passed, this function fills bounding box information to this object.
Return
Float the amount of horizontal advance in pixels

getLocaleList

Added in API level 29
fun getLocaleList(): LocaleList

Get a locale list of this font. This is always empty if this font is not a system font.

Return
LocaleList a locale list This value cannot be null.

getMetrics

Added in API level 31
fun getMetrics(
    paint: Paint,
    outMetrics: Paint.FontMetrics?
): Unit

Retrieve the font metrics information. Note that android.graphics.Typeface in android.graphics.Paint is ignored.

Parameters
paint Paint: a paint object used for retrieving font metrics. This value cannot be null.
outMetrics Paint.FontMetrics?: a nullable destination object. If null is passed, this function only retrieve recommended interline spacing. If non-null is passed, this function fills to font metrics to it.

getSourceIdentifier

Added in API level 31
fun getSourceIdentifier(): Int

Returns the unique ID of the source font data. You can use this identifier as a key of the cache or checking if two fonts can be interpolated with font variation settings.

<code>
    // Following three Fonts, fontA, fontB, fontC have the same identifier.
    Font fontA = new Font.Builder("/path/to/font").build();
    Font fontB = new Font.Builder(fontA).setTtcIndex(1).build();
    Font fontC = new Font.Builder(fontB).setFontVariationSettings("'wght' 700).build();
 
    // Following fontD has the different identifier from above three.
    Font fontD = new Font.Builder("/path/to/another/font").build();
 
    // Following fontE has different identifier from above four even the font path is the same.
    // To get the same identifier, please create new Font instance from existing fonts.
    Font fontE = new Font.Builder("/path/to/font").build();
  </code>
Here is an example of caching font object that has
<code>
    private LongSparseArray
 <sparsearray<font>
  &gt; mCache = new LongSparseArray&lt;&gt;(); private Font getFontWeightVariation(Font font, int weight) { // Different collection index is treated as different font. long key = ((long) font.getSourceIdentifier()) &lt;&lt; 32 | (long) font.getTtcIndex(); SparseArray
  <font> weightCache = mCache.get(key); if (weightCache == null) { weightCache = new SparseArray&lt;&gt;(); mCache.put(key, weightCache); } Font cachedFont = weightCache.get(weight); if (cachedFont != null) { return cachedFont; } Font newFont = new Font.Builder(cachedFont) .setFontVariationSettings("'wght' " + weight); .build(); weightCache.put(weight, newFont); return newFont; } </font>
 </sparsearray<font></code><font>
  </font>

Return
Int an unique identifier for the font source data.

getStyle

Added in API level 29
fun getStyle(): FontStyle

Get a style associated with this font.

Return
FontStyle a font style This value cannot be null.

getTtcIndex

Added in API level 29
fun getTtcIndex(): Int

Get a TTC index value associated with this font. If TTF/OTF file is provided, this value is always 0.

Return
Int a TTC index value Value is 0 or greater

hashCode

Added in API level 29
fun hashCode(): Int
Return
Int a hash code value for this object.

toString

Added in API level 29
fun toString(): String
Return
String a string representation of the object.
