GetChars

Kotlin |Java

interface GetChars : CharSequence

android.text.GetChars

Known Direct Subclasses

AlteredCharSequence, Editable, SpannableString, SpannableStringBuilder, SpannedString

AlteredCharSequence	An AlteredCharSequence is a CharSequence that is largely mirrored from another CharSequence, except that a specified range of characters are mirrored from a different char array instead.
Editable	This is the interface for text whose content and markup can be changed (as opposed to immutable text like Strings).
SpannableString	This is the class for text whose content is immutable but to which markup objects can be attached and detached.
SpannableStringBuilder	This is the class for text whose content and markup can both be changed.
SpannedString	This is the class for text whose content and markup are immutable.

Known Indirect Subclasses

SpannableStringBuilder

This is the class for text whose content and markup can both be changed.

Please implement this interface if your CharSequence has a getChars() method like the one in String that is faster than calling charAt() multiple times.

Summary

Public methods
abstract Unit	`getChars(start: Int, end: Int, dest: CharArray, destoff: Int)` Exactly like String.

Public methods

getChars

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getChars(
    start: Int, 
    end: Int, 
    dest: CharArray, 
    destoff: Int
): Unit

Exactly like String.getChars(): copy chars start through end - 1 from this CharSequence into dest beginning at offset destoff.

Parameters
`srcBegin`	start copying at this offset.
`srcEnd`	stop copying at this offset.
`dst`	the array to copy the data into.
`dstBegin`	offset into `dst`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException`	if any of the following is true: `srcBegin` is negative `dstBegin` is negative the `srcBegin` argument is greater than the `srcEnd` argument. `srcEnd` is greater than `this.length()`. `dstBegin+srcEnd-srcBegin` is greater than `dst.length`
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if `dst` is `null`
