open class AndroidCharacter

kotlin.Any
↳	android.text.AndroidCharacter

AndroidCharacter exposes some character properties that used to be not easily accessed from java.lang.Character, but are now available in ICU.

static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_AMBIGUOUS`
static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_FULL_WIDTH`
static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_HALF_WIDTH`
static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NARROW`
static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NEUTRAL`
static Int	`EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_WIDE`

Public constructors
`<init>()`

Public methods
open static Unit	`getDirectionalities(src: CharArray!, dest: ByteArray!, count: Int)` Fill in the first `count` bytes of `dest` with the directionalities from the first `count` chars of `src`.
open static Int	`getEastAsianWidth(input: Char)` Calculate the East Asian Width of a character according to Unicode TR#11.
open static Unit	`getEastAsianWidths(src: CharArray!, start: Int, count: Int, dest: ByteArray!)` Fill the first `count` bytes of `dest` with the East Asian Width from `count` chars of `src` starting at `start`.
open static Char	`getMirror(ch: Char)` Return the right-to-left mirror (or the original char if none) of the specified char.
open static Boolean	`mirror(text: CharArray!, start: Int, count: Int)` Replace the specified slice of `text` with the chars' right-to-left mirrors (if any), returning true if any replacements were made.

Public methods

getDirectionalities

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 26

open static fun getDirectionalities(
    src: CharArray!, 
    dest: ByteArray!, 
    count: Int
): Unit

Deprecated.

Fill in the first count bytes of dest with the directionalities from the first count chars of src. This is just like Character.getDirectionality() except it is a batch operation.

getEastAsianWidth

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 26

open static fun getEastAsianWidth(input: Char): Int

Deprecated.

Calculate the East Asian Width of a character according to Unicode TR#11. The return will be one of EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NEUTRAL, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_AMBIGUOUS, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_HALF_WIDTH, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_FULL_WIDTH, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NARROW, or EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_WIDE.

Parameters
`input`	Char: the character to measure

Return
`Int`	the East Asian Width for input

getEastAsianWidths

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 26

open static fun getEastAsianWidths(
    src: CharArray!, 
    start: Int, 
    count: Int, 
    dest: ByteArray!
): Unit

Deprecated.

Fill the first count bytes of dest with the East Asian Width from count chars of src starting at start. East Asian Width is calculated based on Unicode TR#11. Each entry in dest will be one of EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NEUTRAL, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_AMBIGUOUS, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_HALF_WIDTH, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_FULL_WIDTH, EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_NARROW, or EAST_ASIAN_WIDTH_WIDE.

Parameters
`src`	CharArray!: character array of input to measure
`start`	Int: first character in array to measure
`count`	Int: maximum number of characters to measure
`dest`	ByteArray!: byte array of results for each character in src

getMirror

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 26

open static fun getMirror(ch: Char): Char

Deprecated.

Return the right-to-left mirror (or the original char if none) of the specified char.

mirror

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 26

open static fun mirror(
    text: CharArray!, 
    start: Int, 
    count: Int
): Boolean

Deprecated.

Replace the specified slice of text with the chars' right-to-left mirrors (if any), returning true if any replacements were made.

Parameters
`text`	CharArray!: array of characters to apply mirror operation
`start`	Int: first character in array to mirror
`count`	Int: maximum number of characters to mirror

Return
`Boolean`	true if replacements were made
