Android TextUtils
<p>I can see that the TextUtils class has many functions that are identical in their purpose to functions found in the standard Java String class, such as indexOf. I'm wondering if they are aimed to just add more options to the developer, without any relation to the Android environment, such as calling indexOf on a CharSequence and not only on a String, or if they are supposed to actually replace the original functions due to issues they have when being used on Android.
Can someone please answer this informative question?
Thanks.</p>
