Editable

public interface Editable implements Appendable, CharSequence, GetChars, Spannable

This is the interface for text whose content and markup can be changed (as opposed to immutable text like Strings). If you make a {@link DynamicLayout} of an Editable, the layout will be reflowed as the text is changed.

Methods Summary
public android.text.Editable append(java.lang.CharSequence text)
Convenience for replace(length(), length(), text, 0, text.length())
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public android.text.Editable append(java.lang.CharSequence text, int start, int end)
Convenience for replace(length(), length(), text, start, end)
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public android.text.Editable append(char text)
Convenience for append(String.valueOf(text)).
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public void clear()
Convenience for replace(0, length(), "", 0, 0)
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int) Note that this clears the text, not the spans; use {@link #clearSpans} if you need that.
public void clearSpans()
Removes all spans from the Editable, as if by calling {@link #removeSpan} on each of them.
public android.text.Editable delete(int st, int en)
Convenience for replace(st, en, "", 0, 0)
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public InputFilter[] getFilters()
Returns the array of input filters that are currently applied to changes to this Editable.
public android.text.Editable insert(int where, java.lang.CharSequence text, int start, int end)
Convenience for replace(where, where, text, start, end)
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public android.text.Editable insert(int where, java.lang.CharSequence text)
Convenience for replace(where, where, text, 0, text.length());
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public android.text.Editable replace(int st, int en, java.lang.CharSequence source, int start, int end)
Replaces the specified range (st…en) of text in this Editable with a copy of the slice start…end from source. The destination slice may be empty, in which case the operation is an insertion, or the source slice may be empty, in which case the operation is a deletion.
Before the change is committed, each filter that was set with {@link #setFilters} is given the opportunity to modify the source text.
If source is Spanned, the spans from it are preserved into the Editable. Existing spans within the Editable that entirely cover the replaced range are retained, but any that were strictly within the range that was replaced are removed. As a special case, the cursor position is preserved even when the entire range where it is located is replaced.
return
a reference to this object.
public android.text.Editable replace(int st, int en, java.lang.CharSequence text)
Convenience for replace(st, en, text, 0, text.length())
see
#replace(int, int, CharSequence, int, int)
public void setFilters(InputFilter[] filters)
Sets the series of filters that will be called in succession whenever the text of this Editable is changed, each of which has the opportunity to limit or transform the text that is being inserted.
