  • Field Details

    • LANGUAGE

      public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute LANGUAGE
      Attribute key for the language of some text.

      Values are instances of Locale.

      Locale

    • READING

      public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute READING
      Attribute key for the reading of some text. In languages where the written form and the pronunciation of a word are only loosely related (such as Japanese), it is often necessary to store the reading (pronunciation) along with the written form.

      Values are instances of Annotation holding instances of String.

      Annotation, String

    • INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT

      public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT
      Attribute key for input method segments. Input methods often break up text into segments, which usually correspond to words.

      Values are instances of Annotation holding a null reference.

    • equals

      public final boolean equals​(Object obj)
      Compares two objects for equality. This version only returns true for x.equals(y) if x and y refer to the same object, and guarantees this for all subclasses.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
      true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
      See Also:
      Object.hashCode(), HashMap

    • hashCode

      public final int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code value for the object. This version is identical to the one in Object, but is also final.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object.
      See Also:
      Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a string representation of the object. This version returns the concatenation of class name, "(", a name identifying the attribute and ")".
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a string representation of the object.

    • getName

      protected String getName()
      Returns the name of the attribute.
      Returns:
      the name of Attribute

    • readResolve

      protected Object readResolve() throws InvalidObjectException
      Resolves instances being deserialized to the predefined constants.
      Returns:
      the resolved Attribute object
      Throws:
      InvalidObjectException - if the object to resolve is not an instance of Attribute
