SliceItem

class SliceItem : CustomVersionedParcelable
androidx.slice.SliceItem

A SliceItem is a single unit in the tree structure of a Slice.

A SliceItem a piece of content and some hints about what that content means or how it should be displayed. The types of content can be:

  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_SLICE
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_TEXT
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_IMAGE
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_ACTION
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_INT
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_LONG

    • The hints that a SliceItem are a set of strings which annotate the content. The hints that are guaranteed to be understood by the system are defined on Slice.

    createSensitiveSpan

    @NonNull static fun createSensitiveSpan(): ParcelableSpan

    Creates a span object that identifies content that should be redacted when acquired using getRedactedText().

    fireAction

    fun fireAction(
        @Nullable context: Context?, 
        @Nullable i: Intent?
    ): Unit

    Trigger the action on this SliceItem.

    Parameters
    context Context?: The Context to use when sending the PendingIntent.
    i Intent?: The intent to use when sending the PendingIntent.

    getAction

    fun getAction(): PendingIntent!
    Return
    PendingIntent! The pending intent held by this android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_ACTION SliceItem

    getFormat

    fun getFormat(): String!

    Get the format of this SliceItem.

    The format will be one of the following types supported by the platform:

  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_SLICE

  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_IMAGE
  • android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_ACTION

    Return
    MutableList<String!> Array of hints.

    getIcon

    fun getIcon(): IconCompat!
    Return
    IconCompat! The icon held by this android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_IMAGE SliceItem

    fun getInt(): Int
    Return

    getLong

    fun getLong(): Long
    Return
    Long The long held by this android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_LONG SliceItem

    getRedactedText

    @Nullable fun getRedactedText(): CharSequence?

    Get the same content as getText() except with content that should be excluded from persistent logs because it was tagged with createSensitiveSpan().

    Return
    CharSequence? The text held by this android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_TEXT SliceItem

    getSlice

    fun getSlice(): Slice!
    Return
    Slice! The slice held by this android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_ACTION or android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_SLICE SliceItem

    getSubType

    fun getSubType(): String!

    Get the sub-type of this SliceItem.

    Subtypes provide additional information about the type of this information beyond basic interpretations inferred by getFormat(). For example a slice may contain many android.app.slice.SliceItem#FORMAT_TEXT items, but only some of them may be android.app.slice.Slice#SUBTYPE_MESSAGE.
