public class AndroidCharacter
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.text.AndroidCharacter

This class was deprecated in API level 26.
Use various methods from UCharacter, instead.

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

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public methods

getDirectionalities

Added in API level 1

public static void getDirectionalities (char[] src, 
                byte[] dest, 
                int count)

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.

Parameters
`src`	`char`
`dest`	`byte`
`count`	`int`

getEastAsianWidth

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 26

public static int getEastAsianWidth (char input)

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

Returns
`int`	the East Asian Width for input

getEastAsianWidths

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 26

public static void getEastAsianWidths (char[] src, 
                int start, 
                int count, 
                byte[] dest)

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`	`char`: character array of input to measure
`start`	`int`: first character in array to measure
`count`	`int`: maximum number of characters to measure
`dest`	`byte`: byte array of results for each character in src

getMirror

Added in API level 1

public static char getMirror (char ch)

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

Parameters
`ch`	`char`

Returns
`char`

mirror

Added in API level 1

public static boolean mirror (char[] text, 
                int start, 
                int count)

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

Parameters
`text`	`char`: array of characters to apply mirror operation
`start`	`int`: first character in array to mirror
`count`	`int`: maximum number of characters to mirror

Returns
`boolean`	true if replacements were made
