Class ParsePosition

java.lang.Object
java.text.ParsePosition
public class ParsePosition extends Object
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.

Since:
1.1

Constructor Details

ParsePosition

public ParsePosition(int index)
Create a new ParsePosition with the given initial index.
Parameters:
index - initial index

Method Details

getIndex

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.
Returns:
the current parse position

setIndex

public void setIndex(int index)
Set the current parse position.
Parameters:
index - the current parse position

setErrorIndex

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.
Parameters:
ei - the index at which an error occurred
Since:
1.2

getErrorIndex

public int getErrorIndex()
Retrieve the index at which an error occurred, or -1 if the error index has not been set.
Returns:
the index at which an error occurred
Since:
1.2

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Overrides equals
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:

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this ParsePosition.
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object
See Also:

toString

public String toString()
Return a string representation of this ParsePosition.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of this object
