Method Detail

charsetForName

public final Charset charsetForName(String charsetName)

Constructs a charset for the given charset name. Implements the abstract method of super class.

Specified by:

charsetForName in class CharsetProvider

Parameters:

charsetName - charset name

Returns:

charset objet for the given charset name, null if unsupported

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

charsetForName

public final Charset charsetForName(String charsetName,
                                    String classPath)

Constructs a charset for the given ICU conversion table from the specified class path. Example use: cnv = CharsetProviderICU.charsetForName("myConverter", "com/myCompany/myDataPackage");. In this example myConverter.cnv would exist in the com/myCompany/myDataPackage Java package. Conversion tables can be made with ICU4C's makeconv tool. This function allows you to allows you to load user defined conversion tables that are outside of ICU's core data.

Parameters:

charsetName - The name of the charset conversion table.

classPath - The class path that contain the conversion table.

Returns:

charset object for the given charset name, null if unsupported

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

charsetForName

public Charset charsetForName(String charsetName,
                              String classPath,
                              ClassLoader loader)

Constructs a charset for the given ICU conversion table from the specified class path. This function is similar to charsetForName(String, String).

Parameters:

charsetName - The name of the charset conversion table.

classPath - The class path that contain the conversion table.

loader - the class object from which to load the charset conversion table

Returns:

charset object for the given charset name, null if unsupported

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getICUCanonicalName

public static final String getICUCanonicalName(String enc)
                                        throws UnsupportedCharsetException

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Gets the canonical name of the converter as defined by Java

Parameters:

enc - converter name

Returns:

canonical name of the converter

Throws:

UnsupportedCharsetException

Status:

Internal. This API is ICU internal only.

getJavaCanonicalName

public static String getJavaCanonicalName(String charsetName)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Gets the canonical name of the converter as defined by Java

Parameters:

charsetName - converter name

Returns:

canonical name of the converter

Status:

Internal. This API is ICU internal only.

charsets

public final Iterator<Charset> charsets()

Returns an iterator for the available charsets. Implements the abstract method of super class.

Specified by:

charsets in class CharsetProvider

Returns:

Iterator the charset name iterator

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

getAvailableNames

public static final String[] getAvailableNames()

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Gets the canonical names of available converters

Returns:

array of available converter names

Status:

Internal. This API is ICU internal only.

getAllNames

public static final String[] getAllNames()

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Return all names available

Returns:

String[] an array of all available names

Status:

Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
