Fields

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.

See Also

public static final AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute LANGUAGE

Attribute key for the language of some text.

Values are instances of Locale.

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.

Protected Constructors

protected AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute (String name)

Constructs an Attribute with the given name.

Public Methods

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.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
Returns
  • true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

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.

Returns
  • a hash code value for this object.

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. This version returns the concatenation of class name, "(", a name identifying the attribute and ")".

Returns
  • a string representation of the object.

Protected Methods

protected String getName ()

Returns the name of the attribute.

protected Object readResolve ()

Resolves instances being deserialized to the predefined constants.

Throws
InvalidObjectException
