ScaleXSpan

public class ScaleXSpan
extends MetricAffectingSpan implements ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.text.style.CharacterStyle
     ↳ android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan
       ↳ android.text.style.ScaleXSpan


Scales horizontally the size of the text to which it's attached by a certain factor.

Values > 1.0 will stretch the text wider. Values < 1.0 will stretch the text narrower.

For example, a ScaleXSpan that stretches the text size by 100% can be constructed like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with ScaleX span");
string.setSpan(new ScaleXSpan(2f), 10, 16, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Text scaled by 100% with ScaleXSpan.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

ScaleXSpan

public ScaleXSpan (float proportion)

Creates a ScaleXSpan based on a proportion. Values > 1.0 will stretch the text wider. Values < 1.0 will stretch the text narrower.

Parameters
proportion float: the horizontal scale factor. Value is 0 or greater

ScaleXSpan

public ScaleXSpan (Parcel src)

Creates a ScaleXSpan 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

getScaleX

public float getScaleX ()

Get the horizontal scale factor for the text.

Returns
float the horizontal scale factor.

getSpanTypeId

public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
int

updateDrawState

public void updateDrawState (TextPaint ds)

Parameters
ds TextPaint

updateMeasureState

public void updateMeasureState (TextPaint ds)

Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

Parameters
ds TextPaint: the paint used for drawing the text This value cannot be null.

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
