Layout Class

Definition

A base class that manages text layout in visual elements on the screen.

[Android.Runtime.Register("android/text/Layout", DoNotGenerateAcw=true)]
public abstract class Layout : Java.Lang.Object

Remarks

A base class that manages text layout in visual elements on the screen.

For text that will be edited, use a DynamicLayout, which will be updated as the text changes. For text that will not change, use a StaticLayout.

Constructors

Layout(ICharSequence, TextPaint, Int32, Layout+Alignment, Single, Single)

Subclasses of Layout use this constructor to set the display text, width, and other standard properties.

Layout(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Layout(String, TextPaint, Int32, Layout+Alignment, Single, Single)

Subclasses of Layout use this constructor to set the display text, width, and other standard properties.
