Locale.FilteringMode

public static final enum Locale.FilteringMode extends Enum<Locale.FilteringMode>

This enum provides constants to select a filtering mode for locale matching. Refer to RFC 4647 Matching of Language Tags for details.

As an example, think of two Language Priority Lists each of which includes only one language range and a set of following language tags:

    de (German)
    de-DE (German, Germany)
    de-Deva (German, in Devanagari script)
    de-Deva-DE (German, in Devanagari script, Germany)
    de-DE-1996 (German, Germany, orthography of 1996)
    de-Latn-DE (German, in Latin script, Germany)
    de-Latn-DE-1996 (German, in Latin script, Germany, orthography of 1996)
 

The filtering method will behave as follows:

Filtering Mode	Language Priority List: "de-DE"	Language Priority List: "de-*-DE"
AUTOSELECT_FILTERING	Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996".	Performs extended filtering and returns "de-DE", "de-Deva-DE", "de-DE-1996", "de-Latn-DE", and "de-Latn-DE-1996".
EXTENDED_FILTERING	Performs extended filtering and returns "de-DE", "de-Deva-DE", "de-DE-1996", "de-Latn-DE", and "de-Latn-DE-1996".	Same as above.
IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES	Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996".	Performs basic filtering and returns null because nothing matches.
MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES	Same as above.	Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996" because "de-*-DE" is mapped to "de-DE".
REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES	Same as above.	Throws IllegalArgumentException because "de-*-DE" is not a valid basic language range.

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.

From interface java.lang.Comparable

abstract int

compareTo(Locale.FilteringMode o) Compares this object with the specified object for order.

Enum Values

public static final Locale.FilteringMode AUTOSELECT_FILTERING

Specifies automatic filtering mode based on the given Language Priority List consisting of language ranges. If all of the ranges are basic, basic filtering is selected. Otherwise, extended filtering is selected.

public static final Locale.FilteringMode EXTENDED_FILTERING

Specifies extended filtering.

public static final Locale.FilteringMode IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES

Specifies basic filtering: Note that any extended language ranges included in the given Language Priority List are ignored.

public static final Locale.FilteringMode MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES

Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, they are mapped to the basic language range. Specifically, a language range starting with a subtag "*" is treated as a language range "*". For example, "*-US" is treated as "*". If "*" is not the first subtag, "*" and extra "-" are removed. For example, "ja-*-JP" is mapped to "ja-JP".

public static final Locale.FilteringMode REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES

Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, the list is rejected and the filtering method throws IllegalArgumentException.
