字符串工具类TextUtils

之前在代码里经常遇到这个类，没太关注。今天去官方文档看了下，意外收获：原来它包含很多与Java的String类功能相同或相近的方法。但是也有很多貌似String没有的方法。

static boolean

equals( CharSequence a,  CharSequence b) Returns true if a and b are equal, including if they are both null.

static int

indexOf( CharSequence s, char ch)

static boolean

isEmpty( CharSequence str) Returns true if the string is null or 0-length.

static int

lastIndexOf( CharSequence s, char ch)

static  String[]

split( String text,  String expression) String.split() returns [''] when the string to be split is empty.

static  String

substring( CharSequence source, int start, int end) Create a new String object containing the given range of characters from the source string.

static  CharSequence

replace( CharSequence template,  String[] sources,  CharSequence[] destinations) Return a new CharSequence in which each of the source strings is replaced by the corresponding element of the destinations.

一些“貌似”是String类没有的方法，也可能我之前没遇到过：

static void

writeToParcel( CharSequence cs,  Parcel p, int parcelableFlags) Flatten a CharSequence and whatever styles can be copied across processes into the parcel.

public static CharSequence concat (CharSequence... text)

Added in  API level 1

Returns a CharSequence concatenating the specified CharSequences, retaining their spans if any.

Parameters
text	CharSequence

Returns
CharSequence

public static void dumpSpans (CharSequence cs, Printer printer, String prefix)

Added in  API level 3

Debugging tool to print the spans in a CharSequence. The output will be printed one span per line. If the CharSequence is not a Spanned, then the entire string will be printed on a single line.

Parameters
cs	CharSequence
printer	Printer
prefix	String
