UrlQuerySanitizer

open class UrlQuerySanitizer
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.net.UrlQuerySanitizer

Sanitizes the Query portion of a URL. Simple example:

UrlQuerySanitizer sanitizer = new UrlQuerySanitizer();
  sanitizer.setAllowUnregisteredParamaters(true);
  sanitizer.parseUrl("http://example.com/?name=Joe+User");
  String name = sanitizer.getValue("name"));
  // name now contains "Joe_User"
  
Register ValueSanitizers to customize the way individual parameters are sanitized:
UrlQuerySanitizer sanitizer = new UrlQuerySanitizer();
  sanitizer.registerParamater("name", UrlQuerySanitizer.createSpaceLegal());
  sanitizer.parseUrl("http://example.com/?name=Joe+User");
  String name = sanitizer.getValue("name"));
  // name now contains "Joe User". (The string is first decoded, which
  // converts the '+' to a ' '. Then the string is sanitized, which
  // converts the ' ' to an '_'. (The ' ' is converted because the default
  unregistered parameter sanitizer does not allow any special characters,
  and ' ' is a special character.)
  

There are several ways to create ValueSanitizers. In order of increasing sophistication:

  1. Call one of the UrlQuerySanitizer.createXXX() methods.
  2. Construct your own instance of UrlQuerySanitizer.IllegalCharacterValueSanitizer.
  3. Subclass UrlQuerySanitizer.ValueSanitizer to define your own value sanitizer.

Public constructors

UrlQuerySanitizer

Added in API level 1
UrlQuerySanitizer()

Constructs a UrlQuerySanitizer.

Defaults:

  • unregistered parameters are not allowed.
  • the last instance of a repeated parameter is preferred.
  • The default value sanitizer is an AllIllegal value sanitizer.

    UrlQuerySanitizer

    Added in API level 1
    UrlQuerySanitizer(url: String!)

    Constructs a UrlQuerySanitizer and parses a URL. This constructor is provided for convenience when the default parsing behavior is acceptable.

    Because the URL is parsed before the constructor returns, there isn't a chance to configure the sanitizer to change the parsing behavior.

    UrlQuerySanitizer sanitizer = new UrlQuerySanitizer(myUrl); String name = sanitizer.getValue("name");

    Defaults:

    • unregistered parameters are allowed.
    • the last instance of a repeated parameter is preferred.
    • The default value sanitizer is an AllIllegal value sanitizer.

      parseUrl

      Added in API level 1
      open fun parseUrl(url: String!): Unit

      Parameters
      url String!: the encoded URL to parse.

      registerParameter

      Added in API level 1
      open fun registerParameter(

      ): Unit

      Register a value sanitizer for a particular parameter. Can also be used to replace or remove an already-set value sanitizer.

      Registering a non-null value sanitizer for a particular parameter makes that parameter a registered parameter.

      Parameters
      parameter String!: an unencoded parameter name
      valueSanitizer UrlQuerySanitizer.ValueSanitizer!: the value sanitizer to use for a particular parameter. May be null in order to unregister that parameter.

      registerParameters

      setAllowUnregisteredParamaters

      Added in API level 1
      open fun setAllowUnregisteredParamaters(allowUnregisteredParamaters: Boolean): Unit

      Set whether or not unregistered parameters are allowed. If they are not allowed, then they will be dropped when a query is sanitized.

      Defaults to false.

      Parameters
      allowUnregisteredParamaters Boolean: true to allow unregistered parameters.

      setPreferFirstRepeatedParameter

      Added in API level 1
      open fun setPreferFirstRepeatedParameter(preferFirstRepeatedParameter: Boolean): Unit

      Set whether or not the first occurrence of a repeated parameter is preferred. True means the first repeated parameter is preferred. False means that the last repeated parameter is preferred.

      The preferred parameter is the one that is returned when getParameter is called.

      defaults to false.

      Parameters
      preferFirstRepeatedParameter Boolean: True if the first repeated parameter is preferred.

      setUnregisteredParameterValueSanitizer

      Added in API level 1
      open fun setUnregisteredParameterValueSanitizer(sanitizer: UrlQuerySanitizer.ValueSanitizer!): Unit

      Set the value sanitizer used when processing unregistered parameter values.

      Parameters
      sanitizer UrlQuerySanitizer.ValueSanitizer!: set the ValueSanitizer used to sanitize unregistered parameter values.

      unescape

      Added in API level 1
      open fun unescape(string: String!): String!

          parameter: String!,
          value: String!
      ): Unit

      Record a sanitized parameter-value pair. Override if you want to do additional filtering or validation.

      Parameters
      parameter String!: an unescaped parameter
      value String!: a sanitized unescaped value

      clear

      Added in API level 1
      protected open fun clear(): Unit

      Clear the existing entries. Called to get ready to parse a new query string.

      decodeHexDigit

      Added in API level 1
      protected open fun decodeHexDigit(c: Char): Int

      Convert a character that represents a hexidecimal digit into an integer. If the character is not a hexidecimal digit, then -1 is returned. Both upper case and lower case hex digits are allowed.

      Parameters
      c Char: the hexidecimal digit.
      Return
      Int the integer value of the hexidecimal digit.

      isHexDigit

      Added in API level 1
      protected open fun isHexDigit(c: Char): Boolean

      Test if a character is a hexidecimal digit. Both upper case and lower case hex digits are allowed.

      Parameters
      c Char: the character to test
      Return
      Boolean true if c is a hex digit.

      parseEntry

      Added in API level 1
      protected open fun parseEntry(
          parameter: String!,
          value: String!
      ): Unit

      Parse an escaped parameter-value pair. The default implementation unescapes both the parameter and the value, then looks up the effective value sanitizer for the parameter and uses it to sanitize the value. If all goes well then addSanitizedValue is called with the unescaped parameter and the sanitized unescaped value.

      Parameters
      parameter String!: an escaped parameter
      value String!: an unsanitized escaped value
