Class Overview

ParsePosition is a simple class used by Format and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing. The parseObject method in the various Format classes requires a ParsePosition object as an argument.

By design, as you parse through a string with different formats, you can use the same ParsePosition, since the index parameter records the current position.

Public Constructors

public ParsePosition (int index)

Create a new ParsePosition with the given initial index.

Public Methods

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Overrides equals

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

public int getErrorIndex ()

Retrieve the index at which an error occurred, or -1 if the error index has not been set.

public int getIndex ()

Retrieve the current parse position. On input to a parse method, this is the index of the character at which parsing will begin; on output, it is the index of the character following the last character parsed.

public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code for this ParsePosition.

Returns
  • a hash code value for this object

public void setErrorIndex (int ei)

Set the index at which a parse error occurred. Formatters should set this before returning an error code from their parseObject method. The default value is -1 if this is not set.

public void setIndex (int index)

Set the current parse position.

public String toString ()

Return a string representation of this ParsePosition.

Returns
  • a string representation of this object
