Class ULocale.Builder

java.lang.Object

org.graalvm.shadowed.com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale.Builder

Enclosing class:

ULocale

public static final class ULocale.Builder
extends Object

Builder is used to build instances of ULocale from values configured by the setters. Unlike the ULocale constructors, the Builder checks if a value configured by a setter satisfies the syntax requirements defined by the ULocale class. A ULocale object created by a Builder is well-formed and can be transformed to a well-formed IETF BCP 47 language tag without losing information.

Note: The ULocale class does not provide any syntactic restrictions on variant, while BCP 47 requires each variant subtag to be 5 to 8 alphanumerics or a single numeric followed by 3 alphanumerics. The method setVariant throws IllformedLocaleException for a variant that does not satisfy this restriction. If it is necessary to support such a variant, use a ULocale constructor. However, keep in mind that a ULocale object created this way might lose the variant information when transformed to a BCP 47 language tag.

The following example shows how to create a Locale object with the Builder.

     ULocale aLocale = new Builder().setLanguage("sr").setScript("Latn").setRegion("RS").build();
 

Builders can be reused; clear() resets all fields to their default values.

Constructor Detail

Builder

public Builder()

Constructs an empty Builder. The default value of all fields, extensions, and private use information is the empty string.

Method Detail

setLocale

public ULocale.Builder setLocale(ULocale locale)

Resets the Builder to match the provided locale. Existing state is discarded.

All fields of the locale must be well-formed, see Locale.

Locales with any ill-formed fields cause IllformedLocaleException to be thrown.

Parameters:

locale - the locale

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if locale has any ill-formed fields.

NullPointerException - if locale is null.

setLanguageTag

public ULocale.Builder setLanguageTag(String languageTag)

Resets the Builder to match the provided IETF BCP 47 language tag. Discards the existing state. Null and the empty string cause the builder to be reset, like ULocale.Builder.clear(). Legacy tags (see ULocale.forLanguageTag(java.lang.String)) are converted to their canonical form before being processed. Otherwise, the language tag must be well-formed (see ULocale) or an exception is thrown (unlike ULocale.forLanguageTag, which just discards ill-formed and following portions of the tag).

Parameters:

languageTag - the language tag

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if languageTag is ill-formed

See Also:

ULocale.forLanguageTag(String)

setLanguage

public ULocale.Builder setLanguage(String language)

Sets the language. If language is the empty string or null, the language in this Builder is removed. Otherwise, the language must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

The typical language value is a two or three-letter language code as defined in ISO639.

Parameters:

language - the language

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if language is ill-formed

setScript

public ULocale.Builder setScript(String script)

Sets the script. If script is null or the empty string, the script in this Builder is removed. Otherwise, the script must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

The typical script value is a four-letter script code as defined by ISO 15924.

Parameters:

script - the script

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if script is ill-formed

setRegion

public ULocale.Builder setRegion(String region)

Sets the region. If region is null or the empty string, the region in this Builder is removed. Otherwise, the region must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

The typical region value is a two-letter ISO 3166 code or a three-digit UN M.49 area code.

The country value in the Locale created by the Builder is always normalized to upper case.

Parameters:

region - the region

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if region is ill-formed

setVariant

public ULocale.Builder setVariant(String variant)

Sets the variant. If variant is null or the empty string, the variant in this Builder is removed. Otherwise, it must consist of one or more well-formed subtags, or an exception is thrown.

Note: This method checks if variant satisfies the IETF BCP 47 variant subtag's syntax requirements, and normalizes the value to lowercase letters. However, the ULocale class does not impose any syntactic restriction on variant. To set such a variant, use a ULocale constructor.

Parameters:

variant - the variant

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if variant is ill-formed

setExtension

public ULocale.Builder setExtension(char key,
                                    String value)

Sets the extension for the given key. If the value is null or the empty string, the extension is removed. Otherwise, the extension must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

Note: The key UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION ('u') is used for the Unicode locale extension. Setting a value for this key replaces any existing Unicode locale key/type pairs with those defined in the extension.

Note: The key PRIVATE_USE_EXTENSION ('x') is used for the private use code. To be well-formed, the value for this key needs only to have subtags of one to eight alphanumeric characters, not two to eight as in the general case.

Parameters:

key - the extension key

value - the extension value

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if key is illegal or value is ill-formed

See Also:

ULocale.Builder.setUnicodeLocaleKeyword(String, String)

setUnicodeLocaleKeyword

public ULocale.Builder setUnicodeLocaleKeyword(String key,
                                               String type)

Sets the Unicode locale keyword type for the given key. If the type is null, the Unicode keyword is removed. Otherwise, the key must be non-null and both key and type must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

Keys and types are converted to lower case.

Note:Setting the 'u' extension via ULocale.Builder.setExtension(char, java.lang.String) replaces all Unicode locale keywords with those defined in the extension.

Parameters:

key - the Unicode locale key

type - the Unicode locale type

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

IllformedLocaleException - if key or type is ill-formed

NullPointerException - if key is null

See Also:

ULocale.Builder.setExtension(char, String)

addUnicodeLocaleAttribute

public ULocale.Builder addUnicodeLocaleAttribute(String attribute)

Adds a unicode locale attribute, if not already present, otherwise has no effect. The attribute must not be null and must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

attribute - the attribute

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if attribute is null

IllformedLocaleException - if attribute is ill-formed

See Also:

ULocale.Builder.setExtension(char, String)

removeUnicodeLocaleAttribute

public ULocale.Builder removeUnicodeLocaleAttribute(String attribute)

Removes a unicode locale attribute, if present, otherwise has no effect. The attribute must not be null and must be well-formed or an exception is thrown.

Attribute comparison for removal is case-insensitive.

Parameters:

attribute - the attribute

Returns:

This builder.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if attribute is null

IllformedLocaleException - if attribute is ill-formed
