public static string MakeSafeForPresentation (string unclean, int maxCharactersToConsider, float ellipsizeDip, Android.Text.SafeStringFlagMode flags);static member MakeSafeForPresentation : string * int * single * Android.Text.SafeStringFlagMode -> stringParameters
- unclean
- String
The input string
- maxCharactersToConsider
- Int32
The maximum number of characters of unclean to
consider from the input string. 0 disables this
feature.
- ellipsizeDip
- Single

string is used as an input to another string, it might be useful to
control the length of the input string though. 0 disables this
feature.

- SafeStringFlagMode
Flags controlling cleaning behavior (Can be #SAFE_STRING_FLAG_TRIM,
#SAFE_STRING_FLAG_SINGLE_LINE,
and #SAFE_STRING_FLAG_FIRST_LINE)
