TextClassification

public final class TextClassification
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.textclassifier.TextClassification

Information for generating a widget to handle classified text.

A TextClassification object contains icons, labels, and intents that may be used to build a widget that can be used to act on classified text.

e.g. building a menu that allows the user how to act on a piece of text: 

// Called preferably outside the UiThread.
   TextClassification classification = textClassifier.classifyText(allText, 10, 25);

   // Called on the UiThread.
   for (RemoteActionCompat action : classification.getActions()) {
       MenuItem item = menu.add(action.getTitle());
       item.setContentDescription(action.getContentDescription());
       item.setOnMenuItemClickListener(v -> action.getActionIntent().send());
       if (action.shouldShowIcon()) {
           item.setIcon(action.getIcon().loadDrawable(context));
       }
   }
