setDeletionEndArea

public DeleteRangeGesture.Builder setDeletionEndArea (RectF endArea)

Set rectangular single/multiline end of text deletion area intersecting with text. The resulting deletion is performed from the start of first word/character in the start rectangle setDeletionStartArea(RectF) to the end of the last word/character in the end rectangle.
Deletion strategy using two rectangles Intersection is determined using setGranularity(int). e.g. HandwritingGesture.GRANULARITY_WORD includes all the words with their width/height center included in the deletion rectangle.

Parameters
endArea RectF: RectF (in screen coordinates) for start of deletion. This rectangle belongs to the last line where deletion should end.
This value cannot be null.
Returns
DeleteRangeGesture.Builder This value cannot be null.

setDeletionStartArea

public DeleteRangeGesture.Builder setDeletionStartArea (RectF startArea)

Set rectangular single/multiline start of text deletion area intersecting with text. The resulting deletion is performed from the start of first word/character in the start rectangle to the end of the last word/character in the end rectangle setDeletionEndArea(RectF).
Deletion strategy using two rectangles
Intersection is determined using setGranularity(int). e.g. HandwritingGesture.GRANULARITY_WORD includes all the words with their width/height center included in the deletion rectangle.

This value cannot be null.
Returns
DeleteRangeGesture.Builder This value cannot be null.

setFallbackText

public DeleteRangeGesture.Builder setFallbackText (String fallbackText)
