GetChars

Kotlin |Java

public interface GetChars
implements CharSequence

android.text.GetChars

Known indirect subclasses

AlteredCharSequence, Editable, SpannableString, SpannableStringBuilder, SpannedString

AlteredCharSequence	This class was deprecated in API level 30. The functionality this class offers is easily implemented outside the framework.
Editable	This is the interface for text whose content and markup can be changed (as opposed to immutable text like Strings).
SpannableString	This is the class for text whose content is immutable but to which markup objects can be attached and detached.
SpannableStringBuilder	This is the class for text whose content and markup can both be changed.
SpannedString	This is the class for text whose content and markup are immutable.

Please implement this interface if your CharSequence has a getChars() method like the one in String that is faster than calling charAt() multiple times.

Summary

Public methods
`abstract void`	`getChars(int start, int end, char[] dest, int destoff)` Exactly like String.getChars(): copy chars `start` through `end - 1` from this CharSequence into `dest` beginning at offset `destoff`.

Inherited methods

From interface


        
          java.lang.CharSequence

`abstract char`	`charAt(int index)` Returns the `char` value at the specified index.
`default IntStream`	`chars()` Returns a stream of `int` zero-extending the `char` values from this sequence.
`default IntStream`	`codePoints()` Returns a stream of code point values from this sequence.
`static int`	`compare(CharSequence cs1, CharSequence cs2)` Compares two `CharSequence` instances lexicographically.
`default boolean`	`isEmpty()` Returns `true` if this character sequence is empty.
`abstract int`	`length()` Returns the length of this character sequence.
`abstract CharSequence`	`subSequence(int start, int end)` Returns a `CharSequence` that is a subsequence of this sequence.
`abstract String`	`toString()` Returns a string containing the characters in this sequence in the same order as this sequence.

Public methods

getChars

Added in API level 1

public abstract void getChars (int start, 
                int end, 
                char[] dest, 
                int destoff)

Exactly like String.getChars(): copy chars start through end - 1 from this CharSequence into dest beginning at offset destoff.

Parameters
`start`	`int`
`end`	`int`
`dest`	`char`
`destoff`	`int`
