SpellCheckerService

public abstract class SpellCheckerService
extends Service

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.content.Context
     ↳ android.content.ContextWrapper
       ↳ android.app.Service
         ↳ android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService


SpellCheckerService provides an abstract base class for a spell checker. This class combines a service to the system with the spell checker service interface that spell checker must implement.

In addition to the normal Service lifecycle methods, this class introduces a new specific callback that subclasses should override createSession() to provide a spell checker session that is corresponding to requested language and so on. The spell checker session returned by this method should extend SpellCheckerService.Session.

Returning spell check results

SpellCheckerService.Session#onGetSuggestions(TextInfo, int) should return spell check results. It receives TextInfo and returns SuggestionsInfo for the input. You may want to override SpellCheckerService.Session#onGetSuggestionsMultiple(TextInfo[], int, boolean) for better performance and quality.

Please note that SpellCheckerService.Session#getLocale() does not return a valid locale before SpellCheckerService.Session#onCreate()
