public Bidi()

Method Detail

guessDirectionFromLanguage

public static Bidi.Direction guessDirectionFromLanguage(Lang lang)

Algorithm that will determine text direction by looking at the characteristics of the language tag. If the tag uses a language or script that is known to be RTL, then Direction.RTL will be returned

guessDirectionFromEncoding

public static Bidi.Direction guessDirectionFromEncoding(String charset)

Algorithm that will determine text direction by looking at the character set encoding. If the charset is typically used for RTL languages, Direction.RTL will be returned

guessDirectionFromTextProperties

public static Bidi.Direction guessDirectionFromTextProperties(String text)

Algorithm that analyzes properties of the text to determine text direction. If the majority of characters in the text are RTL characters, then Direction.RTL will be returned.

guessDirectionFromJavaBidi

public static Bidi.Direction guessDirectionFromJavaBidi(String text)

Algorithm that defers to the Java Bidi implementation to determine text direction.
