MessageFormat.Field

AI-generated Key Takeaways

MessageFormat.Field defines constants used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator.
These constants identify portions of a message generated from arguments passed into formatToCharacterIterator.
The ARGUMENT field specifically indicates the index of the argument in the arguments array.
MessageFormat.Field inherits from Format.Field and provides methods for deserialization and resolving instances to predefined constants.

public static class MessageFormat.Field extends Format.Field

Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the AttributedCharacterIterator returned from MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute

final boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares two objects for equality.
String	getName() Returns the name of the attribute.
final int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
Object	readResolve() Resolves instances being deserialized to the predefined constants.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.

Fields

public static final MessageFormat.Field ARGUMENT

Constant identifying a portion of a message that was generated from an argument passed into formatToCharacterIterator. The value associated with the key will be an Integer indicating the index in the arguments array of the argument from which the text was generated.
