AlignmentSpan.Standard

public static class AlignmentSpan.Standard
extends Object implements AlignmentSpan, ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.text.style.AlignmentSpan.Standard


Default implementation of the AlignmentSpan.

For example, a text written in a left to right language, like English, which is by default aligned to the left, can be aligned opposite to the layout direction like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with opposite alignment");
string.setSpan(new AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_OPPOSITE), 0,
string.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Align left to right text opposite to the layout direction.

A text written in a right to left language, like Hebrew, which is by default aligned to the right, can be aligned opposite to the layout direction like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("טקסט עם יישור הפוך");
string.setSpan(new AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_OPPOSITE), 0,
string.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Align right to left text opposite to the layout direction.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

Standard

public Standard (Layout.Alignment align)

Constructs a Standard from an alignment.

Parameters
align Layout.Alignment: This value cannot be null.

Standard

public Standard (Parcel src)

Constructs a Standard from a parcel.

Parameters
src Parcel: This value cannot be null.

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

getAlignment

public Layout.Alignment getAlignment ()

Returns the alignment of the text.

Returns
Layout.Alignment the text alignment

getSpanTypeId

public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
int

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

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
