Method Detail

setCountry

void setCountry(String country)
Set the country used by this numberer (currently used only for names of timezones).

Note: this method is called by the system when allocating a numberer for a specific language and country. Since numberers are normally shared across threads, it should not be changed after the initial creation of the Numberer.

Parameters:
country - The ISO two-letter country code.

getCountry

String getCountry()
Get the country used by this numberer


format

String format(long number,
              String picture,
              int groupSize,
              String groupSeparator,
              String letterValue,
              String ordinal)
Format a number into a string

Parameters:
number - The number to be formatted
picture - The format token. This is a single component of the format attribute of xsl:number, e.g. "1", "01", "i", or "a"
groupSize - number of digits per group (0 implies no grouping)
groupSeparator - string to appear between groups of digits
letterValue - The letter-value specified to xsl:number: "alphabetic" or "traditional". Can also be an empty string or null.
ordinal - The value of the ordinal attribute specified to xsl:number The value "yes" indicates that ordinal numbers should be used; "" or null indicates that cardinal numbers
Returns:
the formatted number. Note that no errors are reported; if the request is invalid, the number is formatted as if the string() function were used.

monthName

String monthName(int month,
                 int minWidth,
                 int maxWidth)
Get a month name or abbreviation

Parameters:
month - The month number (1=January, 12=December)
minWidth - The minimum number of characters
maxWidth - The maximum number of characters

dayName

String dayName(int day,
               int minWidth,
               int maxWidth)
Get a day name or abbreviation

Parameters:
day - The month number (1=Monday, 7=Sunday)
minWidth - The minimum number of characters
maxWidth - The maximum number of characters

halfDayName

String halfDayName(int minutes,
                   int minWidth,
                   int maxWidth)
Get an am/pm indicator

Parameters:
minutes - the minutes within the day
minWidth - minimum width of output
maxWidth - maximum width of output
Returns:
the AM or PM indicator

getOrdinalSuffixForDateTime

String getOrdinalSuffixForDateTime(String component)
Get an ordinal suffix for a particular component of a date/time.

Parameters:
component - the component specifier from a format-dateTime picture, for example "M" for the month or "D" for the day.
Returns:
a string that is acceptable in the ordinal attribute of xsl:number to achieve the required ordinal representation. For example, "-e" for the day component in German, to have the day represented as "dritte August".

Get the name for an era (e.g. "BC" or "AD")

Parameters:
year - the proleptic gregorian year, using "0" for the year before 1AD
