[<Android.Runtime.Register("getInitialSurroundingText", "(III)Landroid/view/inputmethod/SurroundingText;", "GetGetInitialSurroundingText_IIIHandler", ApiSince=31)>]
abstract member GetInitialSurroundingText : int * int * int -> Android.Views.InputMethods.SurroundingText
override this.GetInitialSurroundingText : int * int * int -> Android.Views.InputMethods.SurroundingText

Parameters

beforeLength: Int32

The expected length of the text before the cursor.

afterLength: Int32

The expected length of the text after the cursor.

flags: Int32

Returns

SurroundingText

an android.view.inputmethod.SurroundingText object describing the surrounding text and state of selection, or null if the editor or system could not support this protocol.

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

The initial surrounding text for return could be trimmed if oversize. Fundamental trimming rules are:

<ul> <li>The text before the cursor is the most important information to IMEs.</li> <li>The text after the cursor is the second important information to IMEs.</li> <li>The selected text is the least important information but it shall NEVER be truncated. When it is too long, just drop it.</li> </ul>

For example, the subText can be viewed as TextBeforeCursor + Selection + TextAfterCursor. The result could be:

<ol> <li>(maybeTrimmedAtHead)TextBeforeCursor + Selection + TextAfterCursor(maybeTrimmedAtTail)</li> <li>(maybeTrimmedAtHead)TextBeforeCursor + TextAfterCursor(maybeTrimmedAtTail)</li> </ol>
