Could you explain what is meant by PrecomputedText in the context of Android development?

PrecomputedText in Android is a class that allows you to pre-calculate and cache text layout parameters (such as measurements and line breaking) for quick display later.

This is useful when rendering large volumes of text or frequently updating text elements, as pre-computations help avoid costly operations during UI rendering.

Example usage:

val params = TextViewCompat.getTextMetricsParams(textView)
val precomputedText = PrecomputedText.create("Long text to display", params)
textView.setText(precomputedText)

Thus, the text is prepared in advance, which improves interface performance.
