↳ | java.text.Bidi |
Implements the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
Use a Bidi
object to get the information on the position reordering of a
bidirectional text, such as Arabic or Hebrew. The natural display ordering of
horizontal text in these languages is from right to left, while they order
numbers from left to right.
If the text contains multiple runs, the information of each run can be obtained from the run index. The level of any particular run indicates the direction of the text as well as the nesting level. Left-to-right runs have even levels while right-to-left runs have odd levels.

Constant that indicates the default base level. If there is no strong character, then set the paragraph level to 0 (left-to-right).
Constant that indicates the default base level. If there is no strong character, then set the paragraph level to 1 (right-to-left).
Constant that specifies the default base level as 0 (left-to-right).
Constant that specifies the default base level as 1 (right-to-left).
Creates a Bidi
object from the AttributedCharacterIterator
of a paragraph text. The RUN_DIRECTION
attribute determines the base direction of the bidirectional text. If it
is not specified explicitly, the algorithm uses
DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT by default. The BIDI_EMBEDDING attribute
specifies the level of embedding for each character. Values between -1
and -62 denote overrides at the level's absolute value, values from 1 to
62 indicate embeddings, and the 0 value indicates the level is calculated
by the algorithm automatically. For the character with no BIDI_EMBEDDING
attribute or with a improper attribute value, such as a null
value, the algorithm treats its embedding level as 0. The NUMERIC_SHAPING
attribute specifies the instance of NumericShaper used to convert
European digits to other decimal digits before performing the bidi
algorithm.

textStart | the index in text of the start of the paragraph. |
embeddings | the embedding level array of the paragraph text, specifying the embedding level information for each character. Values between -1 and -61 denote overrides at the level's absolute value, values from 1 to 61 indicate embeddings, and the 0 value indicates the level is calculated by the algorithm automatically. |
embStart | the index in embeddings of the start of the paragraph. |
paragraphLength | the length of the text to perform the algorithm. |
flags | indicates the base direction of the bidirectional text. It is expected that this will be one of the direction constant values defined in this class. An unknown value is treated as DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT. |
IllegalArgumentException | if textStart , embStart , or paragraphLength is negative; if

Reorders a range of objects according to their specified levels. This is
a convenience function that does not use a Bidi
object. The range
of objects at index
from objectStart
to objectStart + count
will be reordered according to the range of levels
at index
from levelStart
to levelStart + count
.

is negative; if count > levels.length - levelStart or

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())
