Public methods
classifyText
public TextClassification classifyText (TextClassification.Request request)
Classifies the specified text and returns a TextClassification
object that can be
used to generate a widget for handling the classified text.
NOTE: Call on a worker thread.
NOTE: If a TextClassifier has been destroyed, calls to this method should
throw an IllegalStateException
. See isDestroyed()
.
This method may take several seconds to complete, so it should
only be called from a worker thread.
