GrowableInternationalString
public GrowableInternationalString()Constructs an initially empty international string. Localized strings can been added using one ofadd(...)
methods. -
GrowableInternationalString
Constructs an international string initialized with the specified string. Additional localized strings can been added using one ofadd(...)
methods. The string specified to this constructor is the one that will be returned if no localized string is found for theLocale
argument in a call totoString(Locale)
.- Parameters:
string
- The string in no specific locale.
-
GrowableInternationalString
Constructs an international string from the specified InternationalString. It avoids to add an entry for each locales in cases whereInternationalString.toString(Locale)
returns always the same string, by considering the result returned byInternationalString.toString()
as the default value.- Parameters:
internationalString
- the internationalString from which construct a new instance.

Method Details
-
add
Adds a string for the given locale.- Parameters:
locale
- The locale for thestring
value, ornull
.string
- The localized string.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if a different string value was already set for the given locale.
-
add
Adds a string for the given property key. This is a convenience method for constructing anAbstractInternationalString
during iteration through the entries in aMap
. It infers theLocale
from the propertykey
, using the following steps:- If the
key
do not starts with the specifiedprefix
, then this method do nothing and returnsfalse
. - Otherwise, the characters after the
prefix
are parsed as an ISO language and country code, and theadd(Locale,String)
method is invoked.
For example if the prefix is
"remarks"
, then the"remarks_fr"
property key stands for remarks in French while the"remarks_fr_CA"
property key stands for remarks in French Canadian.- Parameters:
prefix
- The prefix to skip at the begining of thekey
.key
- The property key.string
- The localized string for the specifiedkey
.- Returns:
true
if the key has been recognized, orfalse
otherwise.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the locale after the prefix is an illegal code, or a different string value was already set for the given locale.
- If the
-
getLocales
Returns the set of locales defined in this international string.The returned set may contain a
null
object, signifying there's a "default" value (as created wither through thesingle-string
constructor, or with anull
"locale" parameter toadd(Locale, String)
- Returns:
- The set of locales.
-
toString
Returns a string in the specified locale. If there is no string for the specifiedlocale
, then this method search for a locale without the variant part. If no string are found, then this method search for a locale without the country part. For example if the"fr_CA"
locale was requested but not found, then this method looks for the"fr"
locale. Thenull
locale (which stand for unlocalized message) is tried last.- Specified by:
toString
in interfaceInternationalString
- Specified by:
toString
in classAbstractInternationalString
- Parameters:
locale
- The locale to look for, ornull
.- Returns:
- The string in the specified locale, or in a default locale.
-
isSubsetOf
Returnstrue
if all localized texts stored in this international string are contained in the specified object. More specifically:-
If
candidate
is an instance ofInternationalString
, then this method returnstrue
if, for all locale-string pairs contained inthis
,candidate.toString(locale)
returns a string equals tostring
. -
If
candidate
is an instance ofCharSequence
, then this method returnstrue
iftoString(Locale)
returns a string equals tocandidate.toString()
for all locales. -
If
candidate
is an instance ofMap
, then this methods returnstrue
if all locale-string pairs are contained intocandidate
. -
Otherwise, this method returns
false
.
- Parameters:
candidate
- The object which may contains this international string.- Returns:
true
if the given object contains all localized strings found in this international string.- Since:
- 2.3
-
-
equals
Compares this international string with the specified object for equality. -
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns a hash code value for this international text.
