Class Overview

A simple pattern matcher, which is safe to use on untrusted data: it does not provide full reg-exp support, only simple globbing that can not be used maliciously.

Summary

int PATTERN_PREFIX Pattern type: the given pattern must match the beginning of the string it is tested against.
int PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB Pattern type: the given pattern is interpreted with a simple glob syntax for matching against the string it is tested against.

Constants

public static final Creator<PatternMatcher> CREATOR

Since: API Level 1

public static final int PATTERN_LITERAL

Since: API Level 1

Pattern type: the given pattern must exactly match the string it is tested against.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int PATTERN_PREFIX

Since: API Level 1

Pattern type: the given pattern must match the beginning of the string it is tested against.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final int PATTERN_SIMPLE_GLOB

Since: API Level 1

Pattern type: the given pattern is interpreted with a simple glob syntax for matching against the string it is tested against. In this syntax, you can use the '*' character to match against zero or more occurrences of the character immediately before. If the character before it is '.' it will match any character. The character '\' can be used as an escape. This essentially provides only the '*' wildcard part of a normal regexp.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

Public Constructors

public PatternMatcher (String pattern, int type)

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Since: API Level 1

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public final String getPath ()

Since: API Level 1

public final int getType ()

Since: API Level 1

public boolean match (String str)

Since: API Level 1

public String toString ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 

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

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int flags)

Since: API Level 1

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.
