Method Details
-
getLocale
Return the locale that was used to create this object, or null. This may may differ from the locale requested at the time of this object's creation. For example, if an object is created for locale en_US_CALIFORNIA, the actual data may be drawn from en (the actual locale), and en_US may be the most specific locale that exists (the valid locale).Note: This method will be implemented in ICU 3.0; ICU 2.8 contains a partial preview implementation. The actual locale is returned correctly, but the valid locale is not, in most cases.
- Parameters:
type
- type of information requested, eitherULocale.VALID_LOCALE
orULocale.ACTUAL_LOCALE
.- Returns:
- the information specified by type, or null if this object was not constructed from locale data.
- See Also:
-
setLocale
Set information about the locales that were used to create this object. If the object was not constructed from locale data, both arguments should be set to null. Otherwise, neither should be null. The actual locale must be at the same level or less specific than the valid locale. This method is intended for use by factories or other entities that create objects of this class.- Parameters:
valid
- the most specific locale containing any resource data, or nullactual
- the locale containing data used to construct this object, or null- See Also:
