TextUtils.StringSplitter

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• TextUtils.StringSplitter provides an efficient way to split strings based on specific rules, without revealing the underlying logic to the user.

• It offers an alternative to split, which utilizes regular expressions and might introduce performance overhead.

• This interface is designed for iterative processing of string segments, enhancing efficiency through methods like setString and compatibility with Iterable.

• Users can achieve optimal performance by reusing a TextUtils.StringSplitter instance and invoking setString for each new string they need to split.

public static interface TextUtils.StringSplitter implements Iterable<String>

Known Indirect Subclasses TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter A simple string splitter.

An interface for splitting strings according to rules that are opaque to the user of this interface. This also has less overhead than split, which uses regular expressions and allocates an array to hold the results.

The most efficient way to use this class is:

 // Once
 TextUtils.StringSplitter splitter = new TextUtils.SimpleStringSplitter(delimiter);

 // Once per string to split
 splitter.setString(string);
 for (String s : splitter) {
     ...
 }
