Public methods
filter
public CharSequence filter (CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend)
This method is called when the buffer is going to replace the
 range dstart … dend of dest
 with the new text from the range start … end
 of source.  Returns the CharSequence that we want
 placed there instead, including an empty string
 if appropriate, or null to accept the original
 replacement.  Be careful to not to reject 0-length replacements,
 as this is what happens when you delete text.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| source | CharSequence | 
| start | int | 
| end | int | 
| dest | Spanned | 
| dstart | int | 
| dend | int |
