public final class PdfPageTextContent
extends Object implements Parcelable



Represents a continuous stream of text in a page of a PDF document in the order of viewing.

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<PdfPageTextContent> CREATOR

Public constructors

PdfPageTextContent(String text)

Creates a new instance of PdfPageTextContent using the raw text on the page of the document.

PdfPageTextContent(String text, List<RectF> bounds)

Creates a new instance of PdfPageTextContent to represent text content within defined bounds represented by a non-empty list of RectF on the page of the document.

Public methods

int describeContents()

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

List<RectF> getBounds()

Gets the bounds for the text content represented as a list of RectF.

String getText()

Gets the text content on the document.

void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)

Flatten this object in to 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

Public constructors

PdfPageTextContent

public PdfPageTextContent (String text)

Creates a new instance of PdfPageTextContent using the raw text on the page of the document. By default, the bounds will be an empty list.

Parameters
text String: Text content on the page.
This value cannot be null.
Throws
NullPointerException If text is null.

PdfPageTextContent

public PdfPageTextContent (String text, 
                List<RectF> bounds)

Creates a new instance of PdfPageTextContent to represent text content within defined bounds represented by a non-empty list of RectF on the page of the document.

Parameters
text String: Text content within the bounds.
This value cannot be null.
bounds List: Bounds for the text content.
This value cannot be null.
Throws
NullPointerException If text or bounds is null.

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

getBounds

public List<RectF> getBounds ()

Gets the bounds for the text content represented as a list of RectF. Each RectF represents text content in a single line defined in points (1/72") for its 4 corners. Content spread across multiple lines is represented by list of RectF in the order of viewing (left to right and top to bottom). If the text content is unbounded then the list will be empty.

Returns
List<RectF> The bounds of the text content.
This value cannot be null.

getText

public String getText ()

Gets the text content on the document.

Returns
String The text content on the page.
This value cannot be null.
