UCharacterIterator
abstract class UCharacterIterator : Cloneable
| kotlin.Any | |
| ↳ | android.icu.text.UCharacterIterator |
Abstract class that defines an API for iteration on text objects.This is an interface for forward and backward iteration and random access into a text object. Forward iteration is done with post-increment and backward iteration is done with pre-decrement semantics, while the java.text.CharacterIterator interface methods provided forward iteration with "pre-increment" and backward iteration with pre-decrement semantics. This API is more efficient for forward iteration over code points. The other major difference is that this API can do both code unit and code point iteration, java.text.CharacterIterator can only iterate over code units and is limited to BMP (0 - 0xFFFF)

Public methods
clone
open fun clone(): Any
Creates a copy of this iterator, independent from other iterators. If it is not possible to clone the iterator, returns null.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Any |
copy of this iterator |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException |
if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned. |
current
abstract fun current(): Int

moveCodePointIndex
open fun moveCodePointIndex(delta: Int): Int
Moves the current position by the number of code points specified, either forward or backward depending on the sign of delta (positive or negative respectively). If the current index is at a trail surrogate then the first adjustment is by code unit, and the remaining adjustments are by code points. If the resulting index would be less than zero, the index is set to zero, and if the resulting index would be greater than limit, the index is set to limit.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
delta |
Int: the number of code units to move the current index. |
| Return | |
|---|---|

is thrown if an invalid delta is supplied |
moveIndex
open fun moveIndex(delta: Int): Int
Moves the current position by the number of code units specified, either forward or backward depending on the sign of delta (positive or negative respectively). If the resulting index would be less than zero, the index is set to zero, and if the resulting index would be greater than limit, the index is set to limit.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
delta |
Int: the number of code units to move the current index. |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
the new index. |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException |
is thrown if an invalid index is supplied |
next
abstract fun next(): Int
Returns the UTF16 code unit at index, and increments to the next code unit (post-increment semantics). If index is out of range, DONE is returned, and the iterator is reset to the limit of the text.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
the next UTF16 code unit, or DONE if the index is at the limit of the text. |
nextCodePoint
open fun nextCodePoint(): Int
Returns the code point at index, and increments to the next code point (post-increment semantics). If index does not point to a valid surrogate pair, the behavior is the same as next(). Otherwise the iterator is incremented past the surrogate pair, and the code point represented by the pair is returned.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
the next codepoint in text, or DONE if the index is at the limit of the text. |
previous
abstract fun previous(): Int
Decrement to the position of the previous code unit in the text, and return it (pre-decrement semantics). If the resulting index is less than 0, the index is reset to 0 and DONE is returned.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
the previous code unit in the text, or DONE if the new index is before the start of the text. |
previousCodePoint
open fun previousCodePoint(): Int
Retreat to the start of the previous code point in the text, and return it (pre-decrement semantics). If the index is not preceded by a valid surrogate pair, the behavior is the same as previous(). Otherwise the iterator is decremented to the start of the surrogate pair, and the code point represented by the pair is returned.
| Return | |
|---|---|
Int |
the previous code point in the text, or DONE if the new index is before the start of the text. |
setIndex
abstract fun setIndex(index: Int): Unit
