Constants

BREAK_STRATEGY_BALANCED

This value is used for calculating the letter spacing amount for the justification because the letter spacing is applied between clusters. For example, if extra W pixels needed to be filled by letter spacing, the amount of letter spacing to be applied is W/(letter spacing unit count - 1) px.

Returns the multiplier applied to the line height.

Return
Float the line height multiplier.

getText

Added in API level 1

getTopPadding

Added in API level 1
abstract fun getTopPadding(): Int

Returns the (negative) number of extra pixels of ascent padding in the top line of the Layout.

getUseBoundsForWidth

Added in API level 35
open fun getUseBoundsForWidth(): Boolean

Returns true if using bounding box as a width, false for using advance as a width.

Return
Boolean True if using bounding box for width, false if using advance for width.

getWidth

Added in API level 1
fun getWidth(): Int

Return the width used for creating this layout in pixels.

Return
Int the width used for creating this layout in pixels. Value is 0 or greater

increaseWidthTo

Added in API level 1
fun increaseWidthTo(wid: Int): Unit

isRtlCharAt

Added in API level 14
open fun isRtlCharAt(offset: Int): Boolean

Returns true if the character at offset is right to left (RTL).

Parameters
offset Int: the offset
Return
Boolean true if the character is RTL, false if it is LTR
