Public methods

concatGroups

Added in API level 8
static fun concatGroups(matcher: Matcher!): String!

Convenience method to take all of the non-null matching groups in a regex Matcher and return them as a concatenated string.

Parameters
matcher Matcher!: The Matcher object from which grouped text will be extracted
Return
String! A String comprising all of the non-null matched groups concatenated together

digitsAndPlusOnly

Added in API level 8
static fun digitsAndPlusOnly(matcher: Matcher!): String!

Convenience method to return only the digits and plus signs in the matching string.

Parameters
matcher Matcher!: The Matcher object from which digits and plus will be extracted
Return
String! A String comprising all of the digits and plus in the match

Properties

DOMAIN_NAME

Added in API level 8
static val DOMAIN_NAME: Pattern!

EMAIL_ADDRESS

Added in API level 8
static val EMAIL_ADDRESS: Pattern!

IP_ADDRESS

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 31
static val IP_ADDRESS: Pattern!

Deprecated: Please use android.net.InetAddresses#isNumericAddress(String) instead.

Kept for backward compatibility reasons. It does not match IPv6 addresses.

PHONE

Added in API level 8
static val PHONE: Pattern!

This pattern is intended for searching for things that look like they might be phone numbers in arbitrary text, not for validating whether something is in fact a phone number. It will miss many things that are legitimate phone numbers.

The pattern matches the following:

  • Optionally, a + sign followed immediately by one or more digits. Spaces, dots, or dashes may follow.
  • Optionally, sets of digits in parentheses, separated by spaces, dots, or dashes.
  • A string starting and ending with a digit, containing digits, spaces, dots, and/or dashes.

TOP_LEVEL_DOMAIN

Added in API level 8
Deprecated in API level 21
static val TOP_LEVEL_DOMAIN: Pattern!

Deprecated: This API is deprecated. See TOP_LEVEL_DOMAIN_STR.

Regular expression pattern to match all IANA top-level domains.

WEB_URL

Added in API level 8
static val WEB_URL: Pattern!

Regular expression pattern to match most part of RFC 3987 Internationalized URLs, aka IRIs.
