 java.text.DateFormatSymbols
| DateFormatSymbols | | public class DateFormatSymbols implements Serializable,Cloneable(Code) | | 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.
DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat both use
DateFormatSymbols to encapsulate this information.
Typically you shouldn't use DateFormatSymbols directly.
Rather, you are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with the
DateFormat class's factory methods: getTimeInstance,
getDateInstance, or getDateTimeInstance.
These methods automatically create a DateFormatSymbols for
the formatter so that you don't have to. After the
formatter is created, you may modify its format pattern using the
setPattern method. For more information about
creating formatters using DateFormat's factory methods,
see
DateFormat .
If you decide to create a date-time formatter with a specific
format pattern for a specific locale, you can do so with:
new SimpleDateFormat(aPattern, new DateFormatSymbols(aLocale)).
DateFormatSymbols objects are cloneable. When you obtain
a DateFormatSymbols object, feel free to modify the
date-time formatting data. For instance, you can replace the localized
date-time format pattern characters with the ones that you feel easy
to remember. Or you can change the representative cities
to your favorite ones.
New DateFormatSymbols subclasses may be added to support
SimpleDateFormat for date-time formatting for additional locales.

| Constructor Summary | |
| public | DateFormatSymbols()
Construct a DateFormatSymbols object by loading format data from
resources for the default locale. | | public | DateFormatSymbols(Locale locale)
Construct a DateFormatSymbols object by loading format data from
resources for the given locale. |
| ampms | | String ampms(Code) | | AM and PM strings. For example: "AM" and "PM". An array of
2 strings, indexed by Calendar.AM and
Calendar.PM.
|
| eras | | String eras(Code) | | Era strings. For example: "AD" and "BC". An array of 2 strings,
indexed by Calendar.BC and Calendar.AD.
|
| localPatternChars | | String localPatternChars(Code) | | Localized date-time pattern characters. For example, a locale may
wish to use 'u' rather than 'y' to represent years in its date format
pattern strings.
This string must be exactly 18 characters long, with the index of
the characters described by DateFormat.ERA_FIELD,
DateFormat.YEAR_FIELD, etc. Thus, if the string were
"Xz...", then localized patterns would use 'X' for era and 'z' for year.
|
| millisPerHour | | final static int millisPerHour(Code) | | Useful constant for defining timezone offsets.
|
| months | | String months(Code) | | Month strings. For example: "January", "February", etc. An array
of 13 strings (some calendars have 13 months), indexed by
Calendar.JANUARY, Calendar.FEBRUARY, etc.
|
| patternChars | | final static String patternChars(Code) | | Unlocalized date-time pattern characters. For example: 'y', 'd', etc.
All locales use the same these unlocalized pattern characters.
|
| serialVersionUID | | final static long serialVersionUID(Code) | | |
| shortMonths | | String shortMonths(Code) | | Short month strings. For example: "Jan", "Feb", etc. An array of
13 strings (some calendars have 13 months), indexed by
Calendar.JANUARY, Calendar.FEBRUARY, etc.
|
| shortWeekdays | | String shortWeekdays(Code) | | Short weekday strings. For example: "Sun", "Mon", etc. An array
of 8 strings, indexed by Calendar.SUNDAY,
Calendar.MONDAY, etc.
The element shortWeekdays[0] is ignored.
|
| weekdays | | String weekdays(Code) | | Weekday strings. For example: "Sunday", "Monday", etc. An array
of 8 strings, indexed by Calendar.SUNDAY,
Calendar.MONDAY, etc.
The element weekdays[0] is ignored.
|
| zoneStrings | | String zoneStrings(Code) | | Localized names of time zones in this locale. This is a
two-dimensional array of strings of size n by m,
where m is at least 5. Each of the n rows is an
entry containing the localized names for a single TimeZone.
Each such row contains (with i ranging from
0..n-1):
zoneStrings[i][0] - time zone IDzoneStrings[i][1] - long name of zone in standard
timezoneStrings[i][2] - short name of zone in
standard timezoneStrings[i][3] - long name of zone in daylight
savings timezoneStrings[i][4] - short name of zone in daylight
savings time
The zone ID is not localized; it corresponds to the ID
value associated with a system time zone object. All other entries
are localized names. If a zone does not implement daylight savings
time, the daylight savings time names are ignored.

Parameters:
ID - the given time zone ID. the index of the given time zone ID. Returns -1 ifthe given time zone ID can't be located in the DateFormatSymbols object.
