public class ExtractedTextRequest
extends Object implements Parcelable



Description of what an input method would like from an application when extract text from its input editor.

Summary

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

int CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

int PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE

Flag for use with writeToParcel(Parcel, int): the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "Parcelable someFunction()", "void someFunction(out Parcelable)", or "void someFunction(inout Parcelable)".

Fields

public static final Creator<ExtractedTextRequest> CREATOR

Used to make this class parcelable.

public int flags

Additional request flags, having the same possible values as the flags parameter of InputConnection.getTextBeforeCursor().

public int hintMaxChars

Hint for the maximum number of characters to return.

public int hintMaxLines

Hint for the maximum number of lines to return.

public int token

Arbitrary integer that can be supplied in the request, which will be delivered back when reporting updates.

Public constructors

ExtractedTextRequest()

Public methods

int describeContents()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)

Used to package this object into a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

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

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface android.os.Parcelable

abstract int describeContents()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

abstract void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Fields

hintMaxChars

public int hintMaxChars

Hint for the maximum number of characters to return.

hintMaxLines

public int hintMaxLines

Hint for the maximum number of lines to return.

token

public int token

Arbitrary integer that can be supplied in the request, which will be delivered back when reporting updates.

Public constructors

public ExtractedTextRequest ()

Public methods

describeContents

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel,int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance.
Value is either 0 or

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Used to package this object into a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel to be written.
flags int: The flags used for parceling.
