Interfaces
Classes
| Annotation |
An Annotation object is used as a wrapper for a text attribute value if
the attribute has annotation characteristics. |
| AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute |
Defines attribute keys that are used to identify text attributes. |
| AttributedString |
An AttributedString holds text and related attribute information. |
| BreakIterator |
The BreakIterator class implements methods for finding
the location of boundaries in text. |
| ChoiceFormat |
A ChoiceFormat allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers. |
| CollationKey |
A CollationKey represents a String under the
rules of a specific Collator object. |
| Collator |
The Collator class performs locale-sensitive
String comparison. |
| DateFormat |
DateFormat is an abstract class for date/time formatting subclasses which
formats and parses dates or time in a language-independent manner. |
| DateFormat.Field |
Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the
AttributedCharacterIterator returned
from DateFormat.formatToCharacterIterator and as
field identifiers in FieldPosition. |
| DateFormatSymbols |
DateFormatSymbols is a public class for encapsulating
localizable date-time formatting data, such as the names of the
months, the names of the days of the week, and the time zone data. |
| DecimalFormatSymbols |
This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator,
the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat
to format numbers. |
| FieldPosition |
FieldPosition is a simple class used by Format
and its subclasses to identify fields in formatted output. |
| Format |
Format is an abstract base class for formatting locale-sensitive
information such as dates, messages, and numbers. |
| Format.Field |
Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the
AttributedCharacterIterator returned
from Format.formatToCharacterIterator and as
field identifiers in FieldPosition. |
| MessageFormat |
MessageFormat provides a means to produce concatenated
messages in a language-neutral way. |
| MessageFormat.Field |
Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the
AttributedCharacterIterator returned
from MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator. |
| Normalizer |
This class provides the method normalize which transforms Unicode
text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier
sorting and searching of text. |
| NumberFormat |
NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number
formats. |
| NumberFormat.Field |
Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the
AttributedCharacterIterator returned
from NumberFormat.formatToCharacterIterator and as
field identifiers in FieldPosition. |
| ParsePosition |
ParsePosition is a simple class used by Format
and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing. |
| SimpleDateFormat |
SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and
parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. |
| StringCharacterIterator |
StringCharacterIterator implements the
CharacterIterator protocol for a String. |
Enums
Exceptions
| ParseException |
Signals that an error has been reached unexpectedly
while parsing. |
