AbsoluteSizeSpan

Kotlin |Java

public class AbsoluteSizeSpan
extends MetricAffectingSpan implements ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
↳	android.text.style.CharacterStyle
	↳	android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan
		↳	android.text.style.AbsoluteSizeSpan

A span that changes the size of the text it's attached to.

For example, the size of the text can be changed to 55dp like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with absolute size span");
string.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(55, true), 10, 23, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Text with text size updated.

Summary

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: 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 constructors
`AbsoluteSizeSpan(Parcel src)` Creates an `AbsoluteSizeSpan` from a parcel.
`AbsoluteSizeSpan(int size)` Set the text size to `size` physical pixels.
`AbsoluteSizeSpan(int size, boolean dip)` Set the text size to `size` physical pixels, or to `size` device-independent pixels if `dip` is true.

Public methods
`int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`boolean`	`getDip()` Returns whether the size is in device-independent pixels or not, depending on the `dip` flag passed in `AbsoluteSizeSpan(int, boolean)`
`int`	`getSize()` Get the text size.
`int`	`getSpanTypeId()` Return a special type identifier for this span class.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`void`	`updateDrawState(TextPaint ds)`
`void`	`updateMeasureState(TextPaint ds)` Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.
`void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan

`MetricAffectingSpan`	`getUnderlying()` Returns "this" for most MetricAffectingSpans, but for MetricAffectingSpans that were generated by `CharacterStyle.wrap(CharacterStyle)`, returns the underlying MetricAffectingSpan.
`abstract void`	`updateMeasureState(TextPaint textPaint)` Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

From class


        
          android.text.style.CharacterStyle

`CharacterStyle`	`getUnderlying()` Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by `wrap(CharacterStyle)`, returns the underlying CharacterStyle.
`abstract void`	`updateDrawState(TextPaint tp)`
`static CharacterStyle`	`wrap(CharacterStyle cs)` A given CharacterStyle can only applied to a single region of a given Spanned.

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.

From interface


        
          android.text.ParcelableSpan

Public constructors

AbsoluteSizeSpan

Added in API level 3

public AbsoluteSizeSpan (Parcel src)

Creates an AbsoluteSizeSpan from a parcel.

Parameters
`src`	`Parcel`: This value cannot be `null`.

AbsoluteSizeSpan

Added in API level 1

public AbsoluteSizeSpan (int size)

Set the text size to size physical pixels.

Parameters
`size`	`int`

AbsoluteSizeSpan

Added in API level 5

public AbsoluteSizeSpan (int size, 
                boolean dip)

Set the text size to size physical pixels, or to size device-independent pixels if dip is true.

Parameters
`size`	`int`
`dip`	`boolean`

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 3

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
`int`	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

getDip

Added in API level 5

public boolean getDip ()

Returns whether the size is in device-independent pixels or not, depending on the dip flag passed in AbsoluteSizeSpan(int, boolean)

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the size is in device-independent pixels, `false` otherwise

See also:

AbsoluteSizeSpan(int, boolean)

getSize

Added in API level 1

public int getSize ()

Get the text size. This is in physical pixels if getDip() returns false or in device-independent pixels if getDip() returns true.

Returns
`int`	the text size, either in physical pixels or device-independent pixels.

See also:

AbsoluteSizeSpan(int, boolean)

getSpanTypeId

Added in API level 3

public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
`int`

toString

Added in API level 1

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

updateDrawState

Added in API level 1

Parameters
`ds`	`TextPaint`: This value cannot be `null`.

updateMeasureState

Added in API level 1

public void updateMeasureState (TextPaint ds)

Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

Parameters
`ds`	`TextPaint`: This value cannot be `null`.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 3

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
