                String more)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Do not use. This is not internationalized, and has known issues with right-to-left text, languages that have more than one plural form, languages that use a different character as a comma-like separator, etc. Use listEllipsize(Context, List, String, TextPaint, float, int) instead.

Converts a CharSequence of the comma-separated form "Andy, Bob, Charles, David" that is too wide to fit into the specified width into one like "Andy, Bob, 2 more".

Parameters
`text`	`CharSequence`: the text to truncate
`p`	`TextPaint`: the Paint with which to measure the text
`avail`	`float`: the horizontal width available for the text (in pixels)
`oneMore`	`String`: the string for "1 more" in the current locale
`more`	`String`: the string for "%d more" in the current locale

Returns
`CharSequence`

concat

Added in API level 1

public static CharSequence concat (CharSequence... text)

Returns a CharSequence concatenating the specified CharSequences, retaining their spans if any. If there are no parameters, an empty string will be returned.

If the number of parameters is at least two, any null CharSequence among the parameters is treated as if it was the string "null". If there are paragraph spans in the source CharSequences that satisfy paragraph boundary requirements in the sources but would no longer satisfy them in the concatenated CharSequence, they may get extended in the resulting CharSequence or not retained.

Parameters
`text`	`CharSequence`

Returns
`CharSequence`

Parameters
`source`	`Spanned`
`start`	`int`
`end`	`int`
`kind`	`Class`
`dest`	`Spannable`
`destoff`	`int`

listEllipsize

Added in API level 26

public static CharSequence listEllipsize (Context context,

                TextPaint paint, 
                float avail, 
                int moreId)

Formats a list of CharSequences by repeatedly inserting the separator between them, but stopping when the resulting sequence is too wide for the specified width. This method actually tries to fit the maximum number of elements. So if "A, 11 more" fits, "A, B, 10 more" doesn't fit, but "A, B, C, 9 more" fits again (due to the glyphs for the digits being very wide, for example), it returns "A, B, C, 9 more". Because of this, this method may be inefficient for very long lists. Note that the elements of the returned value, as well as the string for moreId, will be bidi-wrapped using BidiFormatter.unicodeWrap based on the locale of the input Context. If the input Context is null, the default BidiFormatter from BidiFormatter.getInstance() will be used.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: the `Context` to get the `moreId` resource from. If `null`, an ellipsis (U+2026) would be used for `moreId`.
`elements`	`List`: the list to format This value may be `null`.
`separator`	`String`: a separator, such as `", "` This value cannot be `null`.
`paint`	`TextPaint`: the Paint with which to measure the text This value cannot be `null`.
`avail`	`float`: the horizontal width available for the text (in pixels) Value is 0.0 or greater
`moreId`	`int`: the resource ID for the pluralized string to insert at the end of sequence when some of the elements don't fit.

Returns
`CharSequence`	the formatted CharSequence. If even the shortest sequence (e.g. `"A, 11 more"`) doesn't fit, it will return an empty string.

makeSafeForPresentation

Added in API level 29

public static CharSequence makeSafeForPresentation (String unclean, 
                int maxCharactersToConsider, 
                float ellipsizeDip, 
                int flags)

Remove html, remove bad characters, and truncate string.

This method is meant to remove common mistakes and nefarious formatting from strings that were loaded from untrusted sources (such as other packages).

This method first treats the string like HTML and then ...

Removes new lines or truncates at first new line
Trims the white-space off the end
Truncates the string

... if specified.

Parameters
`unclean`	`String`: The input string This value cannot be `null`.
`maxCharactersToConsider`	`int`: The maximum number of characters of `unclean` to consider from the input string. `0` disables this feature. Value is 0 or greater
`ellipsizeDip`	`float`: Assuming maximum length of the string (in dip), assuming font size 42. This is roughly 50 characters for `ellipsizeDip == 1000`. Usually ellipsizing should be left to the view showing the string. If a string is used as an input to another string, it might be useful to control the length of the input string though. `0` disables this feature. Value is 0 or greater
`flags`	`int`: Flags controlling cleaning behavior (Can be `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_TRIM`, `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_SINGLE_LINE`, and `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_FIRST_LINE`) Value is either `0` or a combination of `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_TRIM`, `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_SINGLE_LINE`, and `SAFE_STRING_FLAG_FIRST_LINE`

Returns
`CharSequence`	The cleaned string This value cannot be `null`.

`two`	`CharSequence`
`ooffset`	`int`
`len`	`int`

Returns
`boolean`

replace

Added in API level 1

public static CharSequence replace (CharSequence template, 
                String[] sources, 
                CharSequence[] destinations)

Return a new CharSequence in which each of the source strings is replaced by the corresponding element of the destinations.

Parameters
`template`	`CharSequence`
`sources`	`String`
`destinations`	`CharSequence`

Returns
`CharSequence`

split

Added in API level 1

public static String[] split (String text, 
                Pattern pattern)

Splits a string on a pattern. This method yields the same result as pattern.split(text, -1) except that if text.isEmpty() then this method returns an empty array whereas pattern.split("", -1) would have returned an array with a single "". The -1 means that trailing empty Strings are not removed from the result; Note that whether a leading zero-width match can result in a leading "" depends on whether your app targets an SDK version <= 28; see Pattern.split(CharSequence, int).

Parameters
`text`	`String`: the string to split
`pattern`	`Pattern`: the regular expression to match

Returns
`String[]`	an array of strings. The array will be empty if text is empty

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if expression or text is null

split

Added in API level 1

public static String[] split (String text, 
                String expression)

This method yields the same result as text.split(expression, -1) except that if text.isEmpty() then this method returns an empty array whereas "".split(expression, -1) would have returned an array with a single "". The -1 means that trailing empty Strings are not removed from the result; for example split("a,", "," ) returns {"a", ""}. Note that whether a leading zero-width match can result in a leading "" depends on whether your app targets an SDK version <= 28; see Pattern.split(CharSequence, int).

Parameters
`text`	`String`: the string to split
`expression`	`String`: the regular expression to match

Returns
`String[]`	an array of strings. The array will be empty if text is empty

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if expression or text is null

stringOrSpannedString

Added in API level 1

public static CharSequence stringOrSpannedString (CharSequence source)

Parameters
`source`	`CharSequence`

Returns
`CharSequence`

substring

Added in API level 1

public static String substring (CharSequence source, 
                int start, 
                int end)

Create a new String object containing the given range of characters from the source string. This is different than simply calling CharSequence.subSequence in that it does not preserve any style runs in the source sequence, allowing a more efficient implementation.

Parameters
`source`	`CharSequence`
`start`	`int`
`end`	`int`

Returns
`String`

writeToParcel

Added in API level 1

public static void writeToParcel (CharSequence cs, 
                Parcel p, 
                int parcelableFlags)

Flatten a CharSequence and whatever styles can be copied across processes into the parcel.

Parameters
`cs`	`CharSequence`: This value may be `null`.
`p`	`Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`.
`parcelableFlags`	`int`
