Method Detail

getExemplarSet

public static UnicodeSet getExemplarSet(ULocale locale,
                        int options)

Returns the set of exemplar characters for a locale. Equivalent to calling getExemplarSet(ULocale, int, int) with the extype == ES_STANDARD.

Parameters:

locale - Locale for which the exemplar character set is to be retrieved.

options - Bitmask for options to apply to the exemplar pattern. Specify zero to retrieve the exemplar set as it is defined in the locale data. Specify UnicodeSet.CASE to retrieve a case-folded exemplar set. See UnicodeSet.applyPattern(String, int) for a complete list of valid options. The IGNORE_SPACE bit is always set, regardless of the value of 'options'.

Returns:

The set of exemplar characters for the given locale.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.0.

getExemplarSet

public static UnicodeSet getExemplarSet(ULocale locale,
                        int options,
                        int extype)

Returns the set of exemplar characters for a locale. Equivalent to calling new LocaleData(locale).getExemplarSet(int, int).

Parameters:

locale - Locale for which the exemplar character set is to be retrieved.

options - Bitmask for options to apply to the exemplar pattern. Specify zero to retrieve the exemplar set as it is defined in the locale data. Specify UnicodeSet.CASE to retrieve a case-folded exemplar set. See UnicodeSet.applyPattern(String, int) for a complete list of valid options. The IGNORE_SPACE bit is always set, regardless of the value of 'options'.

extype - The type of exemplar character set to retrieve.

Returns:

The set of exemplar characters for the given locale.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.0.

getExemplarSet

public UnicodeSet getExemplarSet(int options,
                        int extype)

Returns the set of exemplar characters for a locale.

Parameters:

options - Bitmask for options to apply to the exemplar pattern. Specify zero to retrieve the exemplar set as it is defined in the locale data. Specify UnicodeSet.CASE to retrieve a case-folded exemplar set. See UnicodeSet.applyPattern(String, int) for a complete list of valid options. The IGNORE_SPACE bit is always set, regardless of the value of 'options'.

extype - The type of exemplar set to be retrieved, ES_STANDARD, ES_INDEX, ES_AUXILIARY, or ES_PUNCTUATION

Returns:

The set of exemplar characters for the given locale. If there is nothing available for the locale, then null is returned if getNoSubstitute() is true, otherwise the root value is returned (which may be UnicodeSet.EMPTY).

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the extype is invalid.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.4.

getInstance

public static final LocaleData getInstance(ULocale locale)

setNoSubstitute

public void setNoSubstitute(boolean setting)

Status:

Stable ICU 3.4.

getNoSubstitute

public boolean getNoSubstitute()

Gets the "no substitute" behavior of this locale data object.

Returns:

Value for the no substitute behavior. If TRUE, methods of this locale data object will return an error when no data is available for that method, given the locale ID supplied to the constructor.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.4.

getDelimiter

public String getDelimiter(int type)

Retrieves a delimiter string from the locale data.

Parameters:

type - The type of delimiter string desired. Currently, the valid choices are QUOTATION_START, QUOTATION_END, ALT_QUOTATION_START, or ALT_QUOTATION_END.

Returns:

The desired delimiter string.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.4.

getMeasurementSystem

Returns the measurement system used in the locale specified by the locale.

Parameters:

locale - The locale for which the measurement system to be retrieved.

Returns:

MeasurementSystem the measurement system used in the locale.
