# LineBackgroundSpan.Standard

*** ** * ** ***

` public static class LineBackgroundSpan.Standard `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/LineBackgroundSpan, https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/ParcelableSpan `

|---|---|
| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | android.text.style.LineBackgroundSpan.Standard |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

Default implementation of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/LineBackgroundSpan`, which changes the background color of the lines to which the span is attached.

For example, an `LineBackgroundSpan` can be used like this:

```
String text = "This is a multiline text. LineBackgroundSpan is applied here. This is a multiline text.";
SpannableString string = new SpannableString(text);
string.setSpan(new LineBackgroundSpan.Standard(Color.YELLOW), 26, 61, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
```
