Public methods

setFallbackText

public SelectRangeGesture.Builder setFallbackText (String fallbackText)

Set fallback text that will be committed at current cursor position if there is no applicable text beneath the area of gesture.

Parameters
fallbackText String: text to set.
This value may be null.
Returns
SelectRangeGesture.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSelectionEndArea

public SelectRangeGesture.Builder setSelectionEndArea (RectF endArea)

Set rectangular single/multiline end of text selection area intersecting with text. The resulting selection is performed from the start of first word/character in the start rectangle setSelectionStartArea(RectF) to the end of the last word/character in the end rectangle.
Selection strategy using two rectangles
The selection includes the first word/character in the rectangle, the last word/character in the rectangle, and everything in between even if it's not in the rectangle. Intersection is determined using setGranularity(int). e.g. HandwritingGesture.GRANULARITY_WORD includes all the words with their width/height center included in the selection rectangle.

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

setSelectionStartArea

public SelectRangeGesture.Builder setSelectionStartArea (RectF startArea)

Set rectangular single/multiline start of text selection area intersecting with text. The resulting selection 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 setSelectionEndArea(RectF).
Selection 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 selection rectangle.

Parameters
startArea RectF: RectF (in screen coordinates) for start of selection. This rectangle belongs to first line where selection should start.
This value cannot be null.
Returns
SelectRangeGesture.Builder This value cannot be null.
