addTtsSpan

Added in API level 23

open static fun addTtsSpan(
    s: Spannable!, 
    start: Int, 
    endExclusive: Int
): Unit

Attach a TtsSpan to the supplied Spannable at the indicated location, annotating that location as containing a phone number.

Parameters
`s`	Spannable!: A `Spannable` to annotate.
`start`	Int: The starting character position of the phone number in `s`.
`endExclusive`	Int: The position after the ending character in the phone number `s`.

areSamePhoneNumber

Added in API level 31

open static fun areSamePhoneNumber(
    number1: String, 
    number2: String, 
    defaultCountryIso: String
): Boolean

Determines if two phone numbers are the same.

Matching is based on compare(java.lang.String,java.lang.String), matching takes into account national dialing plans rather than simply matching the last 7 digits of the two phone numbers. As a result, it is expected that some numbers which would match using the previous method will no longer match using this new approach.

Parameters
`number1`	String: This value cannot be `null`.
`number2`	String: This value cannot be `null`.
`defaultCountryIso`	String: The lowercase two letter ISO 3166-1 country code. Used when parsing the phone numbers where it is not possible to determine the country associated with a phone number based on the number alone. It is recommended to pass in `TelephonyManager.getNetworkCountryIso()`. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`Boolean`	True if the two given phone number are same.
