Method Detail

label

public void label(Unit<?> unit,
                  String label)

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Attaches a system-wide label to the specified unit. For example: [code] UnitFormat.getInstance().label(DAY.multiply(365), "year"); UnitFormat.getInstance().label(METER.multiply(0.3048), "ft"); [/code] If the specified label is already associated to an unit the previous association is discarded or ignored.

Specified by:

label in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

unit - the unit being labelled.

label - the new label for this unit.

alias

public void alias(Unit<?> unit,
                  String alias)

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Attaches a system-wide alias to this unit. Multiple aliases may be attached to the same unit. Aliases are used during parsing to recognize different variants of the same unit. For example: [code] UnitFormat.getLocaleInstance().alias(METER.multiply(0.3048), "foot"); UnitFormat.getLocaleInstance().alias(METER.multiply(0.3048), "feet"); UnitFormat.getLocaleInstance().alias(METER, "meter"); UnitFormat.getLocaleInstance().alias(METER, "metre"); [/code] If the specified label is already associated to an unit the previous association is discarded or ignored.

Specified by:

alias in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

unit - the unit being aliased.

alias - the alias attached to this unit.

isValidIdentifier

public boolean isValidIdentifier(String name)

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Indicates if the specified name can be used as unit identifier.

Specified by:

isValidIdentifier in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

name - the identifier to be tested.

Returns:

true if the name specified can be used as label or alias for this format;false otherwise.

nameFor

public String nameFor(Unit<?> unit)

unitFor

public Unit<?> unitFor(String name)

parseSingleUnit

public Unit<? extends Quantity> parseSingleUnit(CharSequence csq,
                                                ParsePosition pos)
                                         throws ParseException

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Parses a sequence of character to produce a single unit.

Specified by:

parseSingleUnit in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

csq - the CharSequence to parse.

pos - an object holding the parsing index and error position.

Returns:

an Unit parsed from the character sequence.

Throws:

ParseException

parseProductUnit

public Unit<? extends Quantity> parseProductUnit(CharSequence csq,
                                                 ParsePosition pos)
                                          throws ParseException

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Parses a sequence of character to produce a unit or a rational product of unit.

Specified by:

parseProductUnit in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

csq - the CharSequence to parse.

pos - an object holding the parsing index and error position.

Returns:

an Unit parsed from the character sequence.

Throws:

ParseException

format

public Appendable format(Unit<?> unit,
                         Appendable appendable)
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: UnitFormat

Formats the specified unit.

Specified by:

format in class UnitFormat

Parameters:

unit - the unit to format.

appendable - the appendable destination.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.
