### setCharacterBidiLevel
Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public TextBoundsInfo.Builder setCharacterBidiLevel (int[] characterBidiLevels)
```
Set the BiDi levels for the character. The bidiLevel of the i-th character in the editor is stored at index (i - start). The length of the given array must equal to (end - start).
BiDi level is defined by[the unicode bidirectional algorithm](https://unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Basic_Display_Algorithm). One can determine whether a character's direction is right-to-left (RTL) or left-to-right (LTR) by checking the last bit of the BiDi level. If it's 1, the character is RTL, otherwise the character is LTR. The BiDi level of a character must be in the range of \[0, 125\].
| Parameters ||
|-----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `characterBidiLevels` | `int`: the array of the character's BiDi level. This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Returns ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| [TextBoundsInfo.Builder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo.Builder) | This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Throws ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [NullPointerException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException) | if the given`characterBidiLevels`is`null`. |
| [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if the given`characterBidiLevels`contains an element that's out of the range \[0, 125\]. |

### setCharacterBounds
Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public TextBoundsInfo.Builder setCharacterBounds (float[] characterBounds)
```
Set the characters bounds, in the coordinates of the editor.
The given array should be divided into groups of four where each element represents left, top, right and bottom of the character bounds respectively. The bounds of the i-th character in the editor should be stored at index 4 \* (i - start). The length of the given array must equal to 4 \* (end - start).
Sometimes multiple characters in a single grapheme are rendered as one symbol on the screen. So those characters only have one shared bounds. In this case, we recommend the editor to assign all the width to the bounds of the first character in the grapheme, and make the rest characters' bounds zero-width.
For example, the string "'0xD83D' '0xDE00'" is rendered as one grapheme - a grinning face emoji. If the bounds of the grapheme is: Rect(5, 10, 15, 20), the character bounds of the string should be: \[ Rect(5, 10, 15, 20), Rect(15, 10, 15, 20) \].
| Parameters ||
|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `characterBounds` | `float`: the array of the flattened character bounds. This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Returns ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| [TextBoundsInfo.Builder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo.Builder) | This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Throws ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| [NullPointerException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException) | if the given`characterBounds`is`null`. |
### setCharacterFlags
Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public TextBoundsInfo.Builder setCharacterFlags (int[] characterFlags)
```
Set the flags of the characters. The flags of the i-th character in the editor is stored at index (i - start). The length of the given array must equal to (end - start). The flags contain the following information:
- The[TextBoundsInfo.FLAG_CHARACTER_WHITESPACE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo#FLAG_CHARACTER_WHITESPACE)flag, indicating the character is a whitespace.
- The[TextBoundsInfo.FLAG_CHARACTER_LINEFEED](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo#FLAG_CHARACTER_LINEFEED)flag, indicating the character is a linefeed.
- The[TextBoundsInfo.FLAG_CHARACTER_PUNCTUATION](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo#FLAG_CHARACTER_PUNCTUATION)flag, indicating the character is a punctuation.
- The[TextBoundsInfo.FLAG_LINE_IS_RTL](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo#FLAG_LINE_IS_RTL)flag, indicating the line this character belongs to is RTL. All all character in the same line must have the same line direction. Check[TextBoundsInfo.getLineSegmentFinder()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/TextBoundsInfo#getLineSegmentFinder())for more information of line boundaries.
| Parameters ||
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `characterFlags` | `int`: the array of the character's flags. This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Returns ||

### setGraphemeSegmentFinder
Added in[API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public TextBoundsInfo.Builder setGraphemeSegmentFinder (SegmentFinder graphemeSegmentFinder)
```
Set the[SegmentFinder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/SegmentFinder)that locates the grapheme cluster boundaries. Grapheme is defined in[the unicode annex #29: unicode text segmentation](https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries). It's a user-perspective character. And it's usually the minimal unit for selection, backspace, deletion etc.
Please note that only the grapheme segments within the range from start to end will be available to the IME. The remaining information will be discarded during serialization for better performance.
| Parameters ||
|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `graphemeSegmentFinder` | `SegmentFinder`: the[SegmentFinder](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/SegmentFinder)that locates the grapheme cluster boundaries. This value cannot be`null`.
|
| Returns ||

Aside from the hard breaks in the text, it should also locate the soft line breaks added by the editor. It is expected that the characters within the same line is rendered on the same baseline. (Except for some text formatted as subscript and superscript.)
Please note that only the line segments within the range from start to end will be available to the IME. The remaining information will be discarded during serialization for better performance.
