Class DateTimePatternGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.graalvm.shadowed.com.ibm.icu.text.DateTimePatternGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Freezable<DateTimePatternGenerator>

public class DateTimePatternGenerator
extends Object
implements Freezable<DateTimePatternGenerator>, Cloneable

This class provides flexible generation of date format patterns, like "yy-MM-dd". The user can build up the generator by adding successive patterns. Once that is done, a query can be made using a "skeleton", which is a pattern which just includes the desired fields and lengths. The generator will return the "best fit" pattern corresponding to that skeleton.

The main method people will use is getBestPattern(String skeleton), since normally this class is pre-built with data from a particular locale. However, generators can be built directly from other data as well.

Parameters:

locale - The Locale to pass.

getBestPattern

public String getBestPattern(String skeleton)

Return the best pattern matching the input skeleton. It is guaranteed to have all of the fields in the skeleton.

Example code:

Parameters:

skeleton - The skeleton is a pattern containing only the variable fields. For example, "MMMdd" and "mmhh" are skeletons.

Returns:

Best pattern matching the input skeleton.

getBestPattern

public String getBestPattern(String skeleton,
                             int options)

Return the best pattern matching the input skeleton. It is guaranteed to have all of the fields in the skeleton.

Parameters:

skeleton - The skeleton is a pattern containing only the variable fields. For example, "MMMdd" and "mmhh" are skeletons.

options - MATCH_xxx options for forcing the length of specified fields in the returned pattern to match those in the skeleton (when this would not happen otherwise). For default behavior, use MATCH_NO_OPTIONS.

Returns:

Best pattern matching the input skeleton (and options).

addPattern

public DateTimePatternGenerator addPattern(String pattern,
                                           boolean override,
                                           DateTimePatternGenerator.PatternInfo returnInfo)

Adds a pattern to the generator. If the pattern has the same skeleton as an existing pattern, and the override parameter is set, then the previous value is overridden. Otherwise, the previous value is retained. In either case, the conflicting information is returned in PatternInfo.

Note that single-field patterns (like "MMM") are automatically added, and don't need to be added explicitly! *

Example code:

Parameters:

pattern - Pattern to add.

override - When existing values are to be overridden use true, otherwise use false.

returnInfo - Returned information.

getSkeleton

public String getSkeleton(String pattern)

Utility to return a unique skeleton from a given pattern. For example, both "MMM-dd" and "dd/MMM" produce the skeleton "MMMdd".

Parameters:

pattern - Input pattern, such as "dd/MMM"

Returns:

skeleton, such as "MMMdd"

getBaseSkeleton

public String getBaseSkeleton(String pattern)

Utility to return a unique base skeleton from a given pattern. This is the same as the skeleton, except that differences in length are minimized so as to only preserve the difference between string and numeric form. So for example, both "MMM-dd" and "d/MMM" produce the skeleton "MMMd" (notice the single d).

Parameters:

pattern - Input pattern, such as "dd/MMM"

Returns:

skeleton, such as "MMMdd"

getSkeletons

public Map<String,String> getSkeletons(Map<String,String> result)

Return a list of all the skeletons (in canonical form) from this class, and the patterns that they map to.

Parameters:

result - an output Map in which to place the mapping from skeleton to pattern. If you want to see the internal order being used, supply a LinkedHashMap. If the input value is null, then a LinkedHashMap is allocated.

Issue: an alternate API would be to just return a list of the skeletons, and then have a separate routine to get from skeleton to pattern.

Returns:

the input Map containing the values.

getBaseSkeletons

public Set<String> getBaseSkeletons(Set<String> result)

Return a list of all the base skeletons (in canonical form) from this class

replaceFieldTypes

public String replaceFieldTypes(String pattern,
                                String skeleton)

Adjusts the field types (width and subtype) of a pattern to match what is in a skeleton. That is, if you supply a pattern like "d-M H:m", and a skeleton of "MMMMddhhmm", then the input pattern is adjusted to be "dd-MMMM hh:mm". This is used internally to get the best match for the input skeleton, but can also be used externally.

Example code:

Parameters:

pattern - input pattern

skeleton - For the pattern to match to.

Returns:

pattern adjusted to match the skeleton fields widths and subtypes.

replaceFieldTypes

public String replaceFieldTypes(String pattern,
                                String skeleton,
                                int options)

Adjusts the field types (width and subtype) of a pattern to match what is in a skeleton. That is, if you supply a pattern like "d-M H:m", and a skeleton of "MMMMddhhmm", then the input pattern is adjusted to be "dd-MMMM hh:mm". This is used internally to get the best match for the input skeleton, but can also be used externally.

Parameters:

pattern - input pattern

skeleton - For the pattern to match to.

options - MATCH_xxx options for forcing the length of specified fields in the returned pattern to match those in the skeleton (when this would not happen otherwise). For default behavior, use MATCH_NO_OPTIONS.

Returns:

pattern adjusted to match the skeleton fields widths and subtypes.

setDateTimeFormat

public void setDateTimeFormat(String dateTimeFormat)

The date time format is a message format pattern used to compose date and time patterns. The default value is "{1} {0}", where {1} will be replaced by the date pattern and {0} will be replaced by the time pattern.

This is used when the input skeleton contains both date and time fields, but there is not a close match among the added patterns. For example, suppose that this object was created by adding "dd-MMM" and "hh:mm", and its datetimeFormat is the default "{1} {0}". Then if the input skeleton is "MMMdhmm", there is not an exact match, so the input skeleton is broken up into two components "MMMd" and "hmm". There are close matches for those two skeletons, so the result is put together with this pattern, resulting in "d-MMM h:mm". There are four DateTimeFormats in a DateTimePatternGenerator object, corresponding to date styles DateFormat.FULL..DateFormat.SHORT. This method sets all of them to the specified pattern. To set them individually, see setDateTimeFormat(int style, ...).

Parameters:

dateTimeFormat - message format pattern, where {1} will be replaced by the date pattern and {0} will be replaced by the time pattern.

getDateTimeFormat

public String getDateTimeFormat()

Getter corresponding to setDateTimeFormat. There are four DateTimeFormats in a DateTimePatternGenerator object, corresponding to date styles DateFormat.FULL..DateFormat.SHORT. This method gets the style for DateFormat.MEDIUM (the default). To get them individually, see getDateTimeFormat(int style).

Returns:

pattern

setDateTimeFormat

public void setDateTimeFormat(int style,
                              String dateTimeFormat)

dateTimeFormats are message patterns used to compose combinations of date and time patterns. There are four length styles, corresponding to the inferred style of the date pattern: - DateFormat.FULL (for date pattern with weekday and long month), else - DateFormat.LONG (for a date pattern with long month), else - DateFormat.MEDIUM (for a date pattern with abbreviated month), else - DateFormat.SHORT (for any other date pattern). For details on dateTimeFormats, see https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#dateTimeFormats. The default pattern in the root locale for all styles is "{1} {0}".

Parameters:

style - one of DateFormat.FULL..DateFormat.SHORT. An exception will be thrown if out of range.

dateTimeFormat - the new dateTimeFormat to set for the specified style

getDateTimeFormat

public String getDateTimeFormat(int style)

Getter corresponding to setDateTimeFormat.

Parameters:

style - one of DateFormat.FULL..DateFormat.SHORT. An exception will be thrown if out of range.

Returns:

the current dateTimeFormat for the specified style.

setDecimal

public void setDecimal(String decimal)

The decimal value is used in formatting fractions of seconds. If the skeleton contains fractional seconds, then this is used with the fractional seconds. For example, suppose that the input pattern is "hhmmssSSSS", and the best matching pattern internally is "H:mm:ss", and the decimal string is ",". Then the resulting pattern is modified to be "H:mm:ss,SSSS"

Parameters:

decimal - The decimal to set to.

getDecimal

public String getDecimal()

Getter corresponding to setDecimal.

Returns:

string corresponding to the decimal point

setAppendItemFormat

public void setAppendItemFormat(int field,
                                String value)

An AppendItem format is a pattern used to append a field if there is no good match. For example, suppose that the input skeleton is "GyyyyMMMd", and there is no matching pattern internally, but there is a pattern matching "yyyyMMMd", say "d-MM-yyyy". Then that pattern is used, plus the G. The way these two are conjoined is by using the AppendItemFormat for G (era). So if that value is, say "{0}, {1}" then the final resulting pattern is "d-MM-yyyy, G".

There are actually three available variables: {0} is the pattern so far, {1} is the element we are adding, and {2} is the name of the element.

This reflects the way that the CLDR data is organized.

Parameters:

field - such as ERA

value - pattern, such as "{0}, {1}"

getAppendItemFormat

public String getAppendItemFormat(int field)

Getter corresponding to setAppendItemFormats. Values below 0 or at or above TYPE_LIMIT are illegal arguments.

Parameters:

field - The index to retrieve the append item formats.

Returns:

append pattern for field

setAppendItemName

public void setAppendItemName(int field,
                              String value)

Sets the names of fields, eg "era" in English for ERA. These are only used if the corresponding AppendItemFormat is used, and if it contains a {2} variable.

This reflects the way that the CLDR data is organized.

Parameters:

field - Index of the append item names.

value - The value to set the item to.

getAppendItemName

public String getAppendItemName(int field)

Getter corresponding to setAppendItemName. Values below 0 or at or above TYPE_LIMIT are illegal arguments. Note: The more general method for getting date/time field display names is getFieldDisplayName.

Parameters:

field - The index to get the append item name.

Returns:

name for field

See Also:

DateTimePatternGenerator.getFieldDisplayName(int, DisplayWidth)

getDefaultHourCycle

public DateFormat.HourCycle getDefaultHourCycle()

Return the default hour cycle.

getFieldDisplayName

public String getFieldDisplayName(int field,
                                  DateTimePatternGenerator.DisplayWidth width)

The general interface to get a display name for a particular date/time field, in one of several possible display widths.

Parameters:
