class Builder
kotlin.Any | |
↳ | android.text.StaticLayout.Builder |
Builder for static layouts. The builder is the preferred pattern for constructing StaticLayout objects and should be preferred over the constructors, particularly to access newer features. To build a static layout, first call obtain
with the required arguments (text, paint, and width), then call setters for optional parameters, and finally build
to build the StaticLayout object. Parameters not explicitly set will get default values.

setMinimumFontMetrics
fun setMinimumFontMetrics(minimumFontMetrics: Paint.FontMetrics?): StaticLayout.Builder
Set the minimum font metrics used for line spacing.
null
is the default value. If null
is set or left as default, the font metrics obtained by Paint#getFontMetricsForLocale(Paint.FontMetrics)
is used.
The minimum meaning here is the minimum value of line spacing: maximum value of Paint#ascent()
, minimum value of Paint#descent()
.
By setting this value, each line will have minimum line spacing regardless of the text rendered. For example, usually Japanese script has larger vertical metrics than Latin script. By setting the metrics obtained by Paint#getFontMetricsForLocale(Paint.FontMetrics)
for Japanese or leave it null
if the Paint's locale is Japanese, the line spacing for Japanese is reserved if the text is an English text. If the vertical metrics of the text is larger than Japanese, for example Burmese, the bigger font metrics is used.
Parameters | |
---|---|
minimumFontMetrics |
Paint.FontMetrics?: A minimum font metrics. Passing null for using the value obtained by Paint#getFontMetricsForLocale(Paint.FontMetrics) |

setShiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang
fun setShiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang(shiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang: Boolean): StaticLayout.Builder
Set true for shifting the drawing x offset for showing overhang at the start position. This flag is ignored if the getUseBoundsForWidth()
is false. If this value is false, the Layout draws text from the zero even if there is a glyph stroke in a region where the x coordinate is negative. If this value is true, the Layout draws text with shifting the x coordinate of the drawing bounding box. This value is false by default.
Parameters | |
---|---|
shiftDrawingOffsetForStartOverhang |
Boolean: true for shifting the drawing offset for showing the stroke that is in the region where the x coordinate is negative. |
Return | |
---|---|
StaticLayout.Builder |
This value cannot be null . |
setTextDirection
fun setTextDirection(textDir: TextDirectionHeuristic): StaticLayout.Builder
Set the text direction heuristic. The text direction heuristic is used to resolve text direction per-paragraph based on the input text. The default is TextDirectionHeuristics#FIRSTSTRONG_LTR
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
textDir |
TextDirectionHeuristic: text direction heuristic for resolving bidi behavior. This value cannot be null . |
Return | |
---|---|
StaticLayout.Builder |
this builder, useful for chaining This value cannot be null . |
setUseBoundsForWidth
fun setUseBoundsForWidth(useBoundsForWidth: Boolean): StaticLayout.Builder
Set true for using width of bounding box as a source of automatic line breaking and drawing. If this value is false, the Layout determines the drawing offset and automatic line breaking based on total advances. By setting true, use all joined glyph's bounding boxes as a source of text width. If the font has glyphs that have negative bearing X or its xMax is greater than advance, the glyph clipping can happen because the drawing area may be bigger. By setting this to true, the Layout will reserve more spaces for drawing.
Parameters | |
---|---|
useBoundsForWidth |
Boolean: True for using bounding box, false for advances. |
Return | |
---|---|
StaticLayout.Builder |
this builder instance This value cannot be null . |
setUseLineSpacingFromFallbacks
fun setUseLineSpacingFromFallbacks(useLineSpacingFromFallbacks: Boolean): StaticLayout.Builder
Set whether to respect the ascent and descent of the fallback fonts that are used in displaying the text (which is needed to avoid text from consecutive lines running into each other). If set, fallback fonts that end up getting used can increase the ascent and descent of the lines that they are used on.
For backward compatibility reasons, the default is false
, but setting this to true is strongly recommended. It is required to be true if text could be in languages like Burmese or Tibetan where text is typically much taller or deeper than Latin text.
Parameters | |
---|---|
useLineSpacingFromFallbacks |
Boolean: whether to expand linespacing based on fallback fonts |
Return | |
---|---|
StaticLayout.Builder |
this builder, useful for chaining This value cannot be null . |
