CREATOR

public static final Creator<TextSelection> CREATOR

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(android.os.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 CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getConfidenceScore

public float getConfidenceScore (String entity)

Returns the confidence score for the specified entity. The value ranges from 0 (low confidence) to 1 (high confidence). 0 indicates that the entity was not found for the classified text.

Parameters
entity String: Value is TextClassifier.TYPE_UNKNOWN, TextClassifier.TYPE_OTHER, TextClassifier.TYPE_EMAIL, TextClassifier.TYPE_PHONE, TextClassifier.TYPE_ADDRESS, TextClassifier.TYPE_URL, TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE, TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE_TIME, TextClassifier.TYPE_FLIGHT_NUMBER, or android.view.textclassifier.TextClassifier.TYPE_DICTIONARY

Returns
float Value is between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive

getEntity

public String getEntity (int index)

Returns the entity at the specified index. Entities are ordered from high confidence to low confidence.

Parameters
index int

Returns
String This value cannot be null. Value is TextClassifier.TYPE_UNKNOWN, TextClassifier.TYPE_OTHER, TextClassifier.TYPE_EMAIL, TextClassifier.TYPE_PHONE, TextClassifier.TYPE_ADDRESS, TextClassifier.TYPE_URL, TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE, TextClassifier.TYPE_DATE_TIME, TextClassifier.TYPE_FLIGHT_NUMBER, or android.view.textclassifier.TextClassifier.TYPE_DICTIONARY

Throws
IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified index is out of range.

getEntityCount

public int getEntityCount ()

Returns the number of entities found in the classified text.

Returns
int Value is 0 or greater

getExtras

public Bundle getExtras ()

Returns the extended data.

NOTE: Do not modify this bundle.

Returns
Bundle This value cannot be null.

getId

public String getId ()

Returns the id, if one exists, for this object.

Returns
String This value may be null.

getSelectionEndIndex

public int getSelectionEndIndex ()

Returns the end index of the text selection.

Returns
int

getSelectionStartIndex

public int getSelectionStartIndex ()

Returns the start index of the text selection.

Returns
int

getTextClassification

public TextClassification getTextClassification ()

Returns the text classification result of the suggested selection span. Enables the text classification by calling TextSelection.Request.Builder#setIncludeTextClassification(boolean). If the text classifier does not support it, a null is returned.

Returns
TextClassification

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
