AttributedCharacterIterator

public interface AttributedCharacterIterator
implements CharacterIterator

java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator

An AttributedCharacterIterator allows iteration through both text and related attribute information.

An attribute is a key/value pair, identified by the key. No two attributes on a given character can have the same key.

The values for an attribute are immutable, or must not be mutated by clients or storage. They are always passed by reference, and not cloned.

A run with respect to an attribute is a maximum text range for which:

the attribute is undefined or null for the entire range, or
the attribute value is defined and has the same non-null value for the entire range.

A run with respect to a set of attributes is a maximum text range for which this condition is met for each member attribute.

When getting a run with no explicit attributes specified (i.e., calling getRunStart() and getRunLimit()), any contiguous text segments having the same attributes (the same set of attribute/value pairs) are treated as separate runs if the attributes have been given to those text segments separately.

The returned indexes are limited to the range of the iterator.

The returned attribute information is limited to runs that contain the current character.

Attribute keys are instances of AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute and its subclasses, such as TextAttribute.

DONE

Constant that is returned when the iterator has reached either the end or the beginning of the text.

Public methods
`abstract Set<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute>`	`getAllAttributeKeys()` Returns the keys of all attributes defined on the iterator's text range.
`abstract Object`	`getAttribute(AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)` Returns the value of the named `attribute` for the current character.
`abstract Map<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute, Object>`	`getAttributes()` Returns a map with the attributes defined on the current character.
`abstract int`	`getRunLimit()` Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to all attributes containing the current character.
`abstract int`	`getRunLimit(AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)` Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to the given `attribute` containing the current character.
`abstract int`	`getRunLimit(Set<? extends AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute> attributes)` Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to the given `attributes` containing the current character.
`abstract int`	`getRunStart(AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)` Returns the index of the first character of the run with respect to the given `attribute` containing the current character.
`abstract int`	`getRunStart(Set<? extends AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute> attributes)` Returns the index of the first character of the run with respect to the given `attributes` containing the current character.

From interface


        
          java.text.CharacterIterator

`abstract Object`	`clone()` Create a copy of this iterator
`abstract char`	`current()` Gets the character at the current position (as returned by getIndex()).
`abstract char`	`first()` Sets the position to getBeginIndex() and returns the character at that position.
`abstract int`	`getBeginIndex()` Returns the start index of the text.
`abstract int`	`getEndIndex()` Returns the end index of the text.
`abstract int`	`getIndex()` Returns the current index.
`abstract char`	`last()` Sets the position to getEndIndex()-1 (getEndIndex() if the text is empty) and returns the character at that position.
`abstract char`	`next()` Increments the iterator's index by one and returns the character at the new index.
`abstract char`	`previous()` Decrements the iterator's index by one and returns the character at the new index.
`abstract char`	`setIndex(int position)` Sets the position to the specified position in the text and returns that character.

Public methods

getAllAttributeKeys

Added in API level 1

public abstract Set<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute> getAllAttributeKeys ()

Returns the keys of all attributes defined on the iterator's text range. The set is empty if no attributes are defined.

Returns
`Set<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute>`	the keys of all attributes

getAttribute

Added in API level 1

public abstract Object getAttribute (AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)

Returns the value of the named attribute for the current character. Returns null if the attribute is not defined.

Parameters
`attribute`	`AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute`: the desired attribute

Returns
`Object`	the value of the named `attribute` or `null`

getAttributes

Added in API level 1

public abstract Map<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute, Object> getAttributes ()

Returns a map with the attributes defined on the current character.

Returns
`Map<AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute, Object>`	a map with the attributes defined on the current character

getRunLimit

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunLimit ()

Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to all attributes containing the current character.

Any contiguous text segments having the same attributes (the same set of attribute/value pairs) are treated as separate runs if the attributes have been given to those text segments separately.

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character following the run

getRunLimit

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunLimit (AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)

Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to the given attribute containing the current character.

Parameters
`attribute`	`AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute`: the desired attribute

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character following the run

getRunLimit

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunLimit (Set<? extends AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute> attributes)

Returns the index of the first character following the run with respect to the given attributes containing the current character.

Parameters
`attributes`	`Set`: a set of the desired attributes

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character following the run

getRunStart

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunStart (AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute attribute)

Returns the index of the first character of the run with respect to the given attribute containing the current character.

Parameters
`attribute`	`AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute`: the desired attribute.

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character of the run

getRunStart

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunStart (Set<? extends AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute> attributes)

Returns the index of the first character of the run with respect to the given attributes containing the current character.

Parameters
`attributes`	`Set`: a set of the desired attributes.

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character of the run

getRunStart

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getRunStart ()

Returns the index of the first character of the run with respect to all attributes containing the current character.

Any contiguous text segments having the same attributes (the same set of attribute/value pairs) are treated as separate runs if the attributes have been given to those text segments separately.

Returns
`int`	the index of the first character of the run
