# TextValueSanitizer

*** ** * ** ***

` public final class TextValueSanitizer `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable, https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/autofill/Sanitizer `

|---|---|
| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | android.service.autofill.TextValueSanitizer |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

Sanitizes a text `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/autofill/AutofillValue` using a regular expression (regex) substitution.

For example, to remove spaces from groups of 4-digits in a credit card:

```
new TextValueSanitizer(Pattern.compile("^(\\d{4})\\s?(\\d{4})\\s?(\\d{4})\\s?(\\d{4})$"),
    "$1$2$3$4")
```

## Summary

### Inherited constants

From interface `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable` `int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

Descriptor bit used with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`

Flag for use with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

```
public String toString ()
```

Returns a string representation of the object.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | a string representation of the object. <br /> |

### writeToParcel

Added in [API level 28](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public void writeToParcel (Parcel parcel, 
                int flags)
```

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `parcel` | `Parcel`: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be `null`. <br /> |
| `flags` | `int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`.
