ScaleXSpan


public class ScaleXSpan
extends MetricAffectingSpan implements ParcelableSpan

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.text.style.CharacterStyle
     ↳ android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan
       ↳ android.text.style.ScaleXSpan


Scales horizontally the size of the text to which it's attached by a certain factor.

Values > 1.0 will stretch the text wider. Values < 1.0 will stretch the text narrower.

For example, a ScaleXSpan that stretches the text size by 100% can be constructed like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with ScaleX span");
string.setSpan(new ScaleXSpan(2f), 10, 16, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
Text scaled by 100% with ScaleXSpan.

ScaleXSpan

Added in API level 1
public ScaleXSpan (float proportion)

Creates a ScaleXSpan based on a proportion. Values > 1.0 will stretch the text wider. Values < 1.0 will stretch the text narrower.

Parameters
proportion float: the horizontal scale factor. Value is 0 or greater

ScaleXSpan

Added in API level 3
public ScaleXSpan (Parcel src)

Creates a ScaleXSpan from a parcel.

Parameters
src Parcel: This value cannot be null.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 3
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getScaleX

Added in API level 1
public float getScaleX ()

Get the horizontal scale factor for the text.

Returns
float the horizontal scale factor.

getSpanTypeId

Added in API level 3
public int getSpanTypeId ()

Return a special type identifier for this span class.

Returns
int

toString

Added in API level 1
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

updateDrawState

Added in API level 1
public void updateDrawState (TextPaint ds)

Parameters
ds TextPaint

updateMeasureState

Added in API level 1
public void updateMeasureState (TextPaint ds)

Classes that extend MetricAffectingSpan implement this method to update the text formatting in a way that can change the width or height of characters.

Parameters
ds TextPaint: the paint used for drawing the text This value cannot be null.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 3
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
