Public methods

String coerceToHtmlText(Context context)

Turn this item into HTML text, regardless of the type of data it actually contains.

Like coerceToHtmlText(Context), but any text that would be returned as HTML formatting will be returned as text with style spans.

CharSequence coerceToText(Context context)

Turn this item into text, regardless of the type of data it actually contains.

String getHtmlText()

Retrieve the raw HTML text contained in this Item.

Intent getIntent()

Retrieve the raw Intent contained in this Item.

CharSequence getText()

Retrieve the raw text contained in this Item.

Public methods

coerceToHtmlText

Added in API level 16
String coerceToHtmlText (Context context)

Turn this item into HTML text, regardless of the type of data it actually contains.

The algorithm for deciding what text to return is:

  • If getHtmlText() is non-null, return that.
  • If getText() is non-null, return that, converting to valid HTML text. If this text contains style spans, Html.toHtml(Spanned) is used to convert them to HTML formatting.
  • If getUri() is non-null, try to retrieve its data as a text stream from its content provider. If the provider can supply text/html data, that will be preferred and returned as-is. Otherwise, any text/* data will be returned and escaped to HTML. If it is not a content: URI or the content provider does not supply a text representation, HTML text containing a link to the URI will be returned.
  • If getIntent() is non-null, convert that to an intent: URI and return as an HTML link.
  • Otherwise, return an empty string.

Parameters
context Context: The caller's Context, from which its ContentResolver and other things can be retrieved.
Returns
String Returns the item's representation as HTML text.

coerceToStyledText

Added in API level 16
CharSequence coerceToStyledText (Context context)

Like coerceToHtmlText(Context), but any text that would be returned as HTML formatting will be returned as text with style spans.

Parameters
context Context: The caller's Context, from which its ContentResolver and other things can be retrieved.
Returns
CharSequence Returns the item's textual representation.

coerceToText

Added in API level 11
CharSequence coerceToText (Context context)

Turn this item into text, regardless of the type of data it actually contains.

The algorithm for deciding what text to return is:

  • If getText() is non-null, return that.
  • If getUri() is non-null, try to retrieve its data as a text stream from its content provider. If this succeeds, copy the text into a String and return it. If it is not a content: URI or the content provider does not supply a text representation, return the raw URI as a string.
  • If getIntent() is non-null, convert that to an intent: URI and return it.
  • Otherwise, return an empty string.

Parameters
context Context: The caller's Context, from which its ContentResolver and other things can be retrieved.
Returns
CharSequence Returns the item's textual representation.

getHtmlText

Added in API level 16
String getHtmlText ()

Retrieve the raw HTML text contained in this Item.

Returns
String

getIntent

Added in API level 11
Intent getIntent ()

Retrieve the raw Intent contained in this Item.

Returns
Intent

getText

Added in API level 11
CharSequence getText ()

Retrieve the raw text contained in this Item.

Returns
CharSequence

getUri

Added in API level 11
Uri getUri ()

Retrieve the raw URI contained in this Item.

Returns
Uri

toString

Added in API level 11
String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

Hooray!
