EditorInfo Class

Definition

An EditorInfo describes several attributes of a text editing object that an input method is communicating with (typically an EditText), most importantly the type of text content it contains and the current cursor position.

Constructors

EditorInfo()
EditorInfo(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

ActionId

If #actionLabel has been given, this is the id for that command when the user presses its button that is delivered back with InputConnection#performEditorAction(int) InputConnection.performEditorAction().

ActionLabel

In some cases an IME may be able to display an arbitrary label for a command the user can perform, which you can specify here.

Class

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ContentMimeTypes

List of acceptable MIME types for InputConnection#commitContent(InputContentInfo, int, Bundle).

Creator

Used to make this class parcelable.

Extras

Any extra data to supply to the input method.

FieldId

Identifier for the editor's field.

FieldName

Additional name for the editor's field.

Handle

The handle to the underlying Android instance.

(Inherited from Object)
HintLocales

List of the languages that the user is supposed to switch to no matter what input method subtype is currently used.

HintText

The "hint" text of the text view, typically shown in-line when the text is empty to tell the user what to enter.

ImeOptions

Extended type information for the editor, to help the IME better integrate with it.

InitialCapsMode

The capitalization mode of the first character being edited in the text.

InitialSelEnd

The text offset of the end of the selection at the time editing begins; -1 if not known.

InitialSelStart

The text offset of the start of the selection at the time editing begins; -1 if not known.

InitialToolType

Returns the initial MotionEvent#ACTION_UP tool type MotionEvent#getToolType(int) responsible for focus on the current editor. -or- Set the initial MotionEvent#ACTION_UP tool type MotionEvent#getToolType(int).

InputType

The content type of the text box, whose bits are defined by InputType.

JniIdentityHashCode (Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
Label

A label to show to the user describing the text they are writing.

PackageName

Name of the package that owns this editor.

PeerReference (Inherited from Object)
PrivateImeOptions

A string supplying additional information options that are private to a particular IME implementation.

SupportedHandwritingGesturePreviews

Returns the combination of Stylus handwriting gesture preview types supported by the current Editor. -or- Set the Handwriting gesture previews supported by the current Editor.

SupportedHandwritingGestures

Returns the combination of Stylus handwriting gesture types supported by the current Editor. -or- Set the Handwriting gestures supported by the current Editor.
