Definition

[Android.Runtime.Register("previous", "()I", "GetPreviousHandler", ApiSince=24)]
public virtual int Previous ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("previous", "()I", "GetPreviousHandler", ApiSince=24)>]
abstract member Previous : unit -> int
override this.Previous : unit -> int

Returns

The index of the previous match before the current position, or #DONE if there are no more matches.

Attributes

Remarks

Returns the index of the previous point at which the string text matches the search pattern, starting at the current position. The iterator is adjusted so that its current index (as returned by #getIndex) is the match position if one was found. If a match is not found, #DONE will be returned and the iterator will be adjusted to the index #DONE.
