Summary

Public constructors
`ReplacementSpan()`

Public methods
`abstract void`	`draw(Canvas canvas, CharSequence text, int start, int end, float x, int top, int y, int bottom, Paint paint)` Draws the span into the canvas.
`CharSequence`	`getContentDescription()` Gets a brief description of this ReplacementSpan for use in accessibility support.
`abstract int`	`getSize(Paint paint, CharSequence text, int start, int end, Paint.FontMetricsInt fm)` Returns the width of the span.
`void`	`setContentDescription(CharSequence contentDescription)` Sets the specific content description into ReplacementSpan.
`void`	`updateDrawState(TextPaint ds)` This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are drawn explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.
`void`	`updateMeasureState(TextPaint p)` This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are measured explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.

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.

draw

Added in API level 1

public abstract void draw (Canvas canvas, 
                CharSequence text, 
                int start, 
                int end, 
                float x, 
                int top, 
                int y, 
                int bottom, 
                Paint paint)

Draws the span into the canvas.

Parameters
`canvas`	`Canvas`: Canvas into which the span should be rendered. This value cannot be `null`.
`text`	`CharSequence`: Current text.
`start`	`int`: Start character index for span. Value is 0 or greater
`end`	`int`: End character index for span. Value is 0 or greater
`x`	`float`: Edge of the replacement closest to the leading margin.
`top`	`int`: Top of the line.
`y`	`int`: Baseline.
`bottom`	`int`: Bottom of the line.
`paint`	`Paint`: Paint instance. This value cannot be `null`.

getContentDescription

Added in API level 30

public CharSequence getContentDescription ()

Gets a brief description of this ReplacementSpan for use in accessibility support.

Returns
`CharSequence`	The content description. This value may be `null`.

getSize

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getSize (Paint paint, 
                CharSequence text, 
                int start, 
                int end, 
                Paint.FontMetricsInt fm)

Returns the width of the span. Extending classes can set the height of the span by updating attributes of Paint.FontMetricsInt. If the span covers the whole text, and the height is not set, draw(android.graphics.Canvas, java.lang.CharSequence, int, int, float, int, int, int, android.graphics.Paint) will not be called for the span.

Parameters
`paint`	`Paint`: Paint instance. This value cannot be `null`.
`text`	`CharSequence`: Current text.
`start`	`int`: Start character index for span. Value is 0 or greater
`end`	`int`: End character index for span. Value is 0 or greater
`fm`	`Paint.FontMetricsInt`: Font metrics, can be null.

Returns
`int`	Width of the span.

setContentDescription

Added in API level 30

public void setContentDescription (CharSequence contentDescription)

Sets the specific content description into ReplacementSpan. ReplacementSpans are shared with accessibility services, but only the content description is available from them.

Parameters
`contentDescription`	`CharSequence`: content description. The default value is null.

updateDrawState

Added in API level 1

public void updateDrawState (TextPaint ds)

This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are drawn explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.

Parameters
`ds`	`TextPaint`

updateMeasureState

Added in API level 1

public void updateMeasureState (TextPaint p)

This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are measured explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.

Parameters
`p`	`TextPaint`: the paint used for drawing the text This value cannot be `null`.
