public class DecimalFormatSymbols

  1. Object
  2. DecimalFormatSymbols

ImplementsCloneable, Serializable

The characters a DecimalFormat writes and reads – decimal and grouping separators, minus sign, percent, currency symbol and so on.

Where the symbols come from

The device library carries no locale data of its own. What it knows about the user’s locale – the decimal and grouping separators and the currency symbol – it is told by the platform, which on a device reads them off numbers Codename One’s L10NManager formatted. Everything the platform cannot tell (percent, per mille, the exponent separator, the infinity and not-a-number texts) is as in the US English locale.

A request that names en_US gets the US English symbols outright. Any other locale gets the device’s symbols, since the device cannot format for a locale other than its own. Before Codename One is initialized, and where the platform answers nothing usable, the symbols are US English.

clone

public Object clone()
A copy of these symbols. Written out field by field: Object.clone() answers null on the device for anything but an array.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Indicates whether some other object is “equal to” this one. The equals method implements an equivalence relation: It is reflexive: for any reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true. It is symmetric: for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. It is transitive: for any reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true. It is consistent: for any reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false. The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x==y has the value true).

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable. The general contract of hashCode is: Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables. As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)
