Field Summary
Modifier and TypeFieldDescriptionstatic final int
This flag is set on spans that are being used to apply temporary styling information on the composing text of an input method, so that they can be found and removed when the composing text is being replaced.static final int
Spans of type SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE do not expand to include text inserted at either their starting or ending point.static final int
Non-0-length spans of type SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at their ending point but not at their starting point.static final int
Non-0-length spans of type SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at their starting point but not at their ending point.static final int
Spans of type SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at either their starting or ending point.static final int
This flag will be set for intermediate span changes, meaning there is guaranteed to be another change following it.static final int
0-length spans with type SPAN_MARK_MARK behave like text marks: they remain at their original offset when text is inserted at that offset.static final int
SPAN_MARK_POINT is a synonym forSPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE
.static final int
SPAN_PARAGRAPH behaves like SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE (SPAN_MARK_MARK), except that if either end of the span is at the end of the buffer, that end behaves like _POINT instead (so SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE if it starts in the middle and ends at the end, or SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE if it both starts and ends at the end).static final int

.static final int
Bitmask of bits that are relevant for controlling point/mark behavior of spans.static final int
0-length spans with type SPAN_POINT_POINT behave like cursors: they are pushed forward by the length of the insertion when text is inserted at their offset.static final int
The bits specified by the SPAN_PRIORITY bitmap determine the order of change notifications -- higher numbers go first.static final int
The bits numbered just above SPAN_PRIORITY_SHIFT determine the order of change notifications -- higher numbers go first.static final int
The bits specified by the SPAN_USER bitfield are available for callers to use to store scalar data associated with their span object.static final int
The bits numbered SPAN_USER_SHIFT and above are available for callers to use to store scalar data associated with their span object. -

SPAN_POINT_MARK_MASK
static final int SPAN_POINT_MARK_MASKBitmask of bits that are relevant for controlling point/mark behavior of spans.MARK and POINT are conceptually located between two adjacent characters. A MARK is "attached" to the character before, while a POINT will stick to the character after. The insertion cursor is conceptually located between the MARK and the POINT.
As a result, inserting a new character between a MARK and a POINT will leave the MARK unchanged, while the POINT will be shifted, now located after the inserted character and still glued to the same character after it.
Depending on whether the insertion happens at the beginning or the end of a span, the span will hence be expanded to include the new character (when the span is using a MARK at its beginning or a POINT at its end) or it will be excluded.
Note that before and after here refer to offsets in the String, which are independent of the visual representation of the text (left-to-right or right-to-left).

SPAN_MARK_MARK
static final int SPAN_MARK_MARK0-length spans with type SPAN_MARK_MARK behave like text marks: they remain at their original offset when text is inserted at that offset. Conceptually, the text is added after the mark.- See Also:
-
SPAN_MARK_POINT
static final int SPAN_MARK_POINTSPAN_MARK_POINT is a synonym forSPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE
.- See Also:

SPAN_POINT_MARK
static final int SPAN_POINT_MARKSPAN_POINT_MARK is a synonym forSPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
.- See Also:
-
SPAN_POINT_POINT
static final int SPAN_POINT_POINT0-length spans with type SPAN_POINT_POINT behave like cursors: they are pushed forward by the length of the insertion when text is inserted at their offset. The text is conceptually inserted before the point.- See Also:
-
SPAN_PARAGRAPH
static final int SPAN_PARAGRAPHSPAN_PARAGRAPH behaves like SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE (SPAN_MARK_MARK), except that if either end of the span is at the end of the buffer, that end behaves like _POINT instead (so SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE if it starts in the middle and ends at the end, or SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE if it both starts and ends at the end).Its endpoints must be the start or end of the buffer or immediately after a \n character, and if the \n that anchors it is deleted, the endpoint is pulled to the next \n that follows in the buffer (or to the end of the buffer). If a span with SPAN_PARAGRAPH flag is pasted into another text and the paragraph boundary constraint is not satisfied, the span is discarded.

SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
static final int SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVENon-0-length spans of type SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at their starting point but not at their ending point. When 0-length, they behave like marks.- See Also:
-
SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE
static final int SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVESpans of type SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at either their starting or ending point.- See Also:
-
SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
static final int SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVESpans of type SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE do not expand to include text inserted at either their starting or ending point. They can never have a length of 0 and are automatically removed from the buffer if all the text they cover is removed.- See Also:
-
SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE
static final int SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVENon-0-length spans of type SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE expand to include text inserted at their ending point but not at their starting point. When 0-length, they behave like points.- See Also:
-
SPAN_COMPOSING
static final int SPAN_COMPOSINGThis flag is set on spans that are being used to apply temporary styling information on the composing text of an input method, so that they can be found and removed when the composing text is being replaced.- See Also:
-
SPAN_INTERMEDIATE
static final int SPAN_INTERMEDIATEThis flag will be set for intermediate span changes, meaning there is guaranteed to be another change following it. Typically it is used forSelection
which automatically uses this with the first offset it sets when updating the selection.- See Also:
-
SPAN_USER_SHIFT
static final int SPAN_USER_SHIFTThe bits numbered SPAN_USER_SHIFT and above are available for callers to use to store scalar data associated with their span object.- See Also:
-
SPAN_USER
static final int SPAN_USERThe bits specified by the SPAN_USER bitfield are available for callers to use to store scalar data associated with their span object.- See Also:
-
SPAN_PRIORITY_SHIFT
static final int SPAN_PRIORITY_SHIFTThe bits numbered just above SPAN_PRIORITY_SHIFT determine the order of change notifications -- higher numbers go first. You probably don't need to set this; it is used so that when text changes, the text layout gets the chance to update itself before any other callbacks can inquire about the layout of the text.- See Also:
-
SPAN_PRIORITY
static final int SPAN_PRIORITYThe bits specified by the SPAN_PRIORITY bitmap determine the order of change notifications -- higher numbers go first. You probably don't need to set this; it is used so that when text changes, the text layout gets the chance to update itself before any other callbacks can inquire about the layout of the text.- See Also:

getSpans
@NonNull <T> List<T> getSpans(int start, int end, @Nullable Class<? extends T> type, @Nullable List<T> dest) Query a set of the markup objects attached to the specified slice of thisCharSequence
and whose type is the specified type or a subclass of it.
Specifynull
orObject.class
for the type if you want all the objects regardless of type.If
dest
list is non-null, it will be filled with the method results and returned as-is. Otherwise, a new (and possibly- unmodifiable) list will be created with method results and returned. The return list can be empty if there is no match.- Parameters:
start
- start char index of the sliceend
- end char index of the slicetype
- markup classdest
- the list that receives method results- Returns:
- the list of results
-

getSpanEnd
Return the end of the range of text to which the specified markup object is attached, or-1
if the object is not attached.- Parameters:
