Class MeasureFormat
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Cloneable
- Direct Known Subclasses:
TimeUnitFormat
IMPORTANT: New users are strongly encouraged to see if
NumberFormatter
fits their use case. Although not deprecated, this
class, MeasureFormat, is provided for backwards compatibility only, and has
much more limited capabilities.
To format a Measure object, first create a formatter object using a MeasureFormat factory method. Then use that object's format or formatMeasures methods. Here is sample code:
MeasureFormat fmtFr = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.SHORT); Measure measure = new Measure(23, MeasureUnit.CELSIUS); // Output: 23 °C System.out.println(fmtFr.format(measure)); Measure measureF = new Measure(70, MeasureUnit.FAHRENHEIT); // Output: 70 °F System.out.println(fmtFr.format(measureF)); MeasureFormat fmtFrFull = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.WIDE); // Output: 70 pieds et 5,3 pouces System.out.println(fmtFrFull.formatMeasures(new Measure(70, MeasureUnit.FOOT), new Measure(5.3, MeasureUnit.INCH))); // Output: 1 pied et 1 pouce System.out.println( fmtFrFull.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.FOOT), new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH))); MeasureFormat fmtFrNarrow = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.FRENCH, FormatWidth.NARROW); // Output: 1′ 1″ System.out.println(fmtFrNarrow.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.FOOT), new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH))); MeasureFormat fmtEn = MeasureFormat.getInstance(ULocale.ENGLISH, FormatWidth.WIDE); // Output: 1 inch, 2 feet fmtEn.formatMeasures(new Measure(1, MeasureUnit.INCH), new Measure(2, MeasureUnit.FOOT));
This class does not do conversions from one unit to another. It simply formats whatever units it is given
This class is immutable and thread-safe so long as its deprecated subclass, TimeUnitFormat, is never used. TimeUnitFormat is not thread-safe, and is mutable. Although this class has existing subclasses, this class does not support new sub-classes.

Method Details
-
getInstance
Create a format from the locale, formatWidth, and format.- Parameters:
locale
- the locale.formatWidth
- hints how long formatted strings should be.- Returns:
- The new MeasureFormat object.
-
getInstance
Create a format from theLocale
and formatWidth.- Parameters:
locale
- theLocale
.formatWidth
- hints how long formatted strings should be.- Returns:
- The new MeasureFormat object.
-
getInstance
public static MeasureFormat getInstance(ULocale locale, MeasureFormat.FormatWidth formatWidth, NumberFormat format) Create a format from the locale, formatWidth, and format.- Parameters:
locale
- the locale.formatWidth
- hints how long formatted strings should be.format
- This is defensively copied.- Returns:
- The new MeasureFormat object.
-
getInstance
public static MeasureFormat getInstance(Locale locale, MeasureFormat.FormatWidth formatWidth, NumberFormat format) Create a format from theLocale
, formatWidth, and format.- Parameters:
locale
- theLocale
.formatWidth
- hints how long formatted strings should be.format
- This is defensively copied.- Returns:
- The new MeasureFormat object.
-
format
Able to format Collection<? extends Measure>, Measure[], and Measure by delegating to formatMeasures. If the pos argument identifies a NumberFormat field, then its indices are set to the beginning and end of the first such field encountered. MeasureFormat itself does not supply any fields. Calling aformatMeasures
method is preferred over calling this method as they give better performance. -
parseObject
Parses text from a string to produce aMeasure
.- Specified by:
parseObject
in classFormat
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException
- Not supported.- See Also:
-
formatMeasures
Format a sequence of measures. Uses the ListFormatter unit lists. So, for example, one could format “3 feet, 2 inches”. Zero values are formatted (eg, “3 feet, 0 inches”). It is the caller’s responsibility to have the appropriate values in appropriate order, and using the appropriate Number values. Typically the units should be in descending order, with all but the last Measure having integer values (eg, not “3.2 feet, 2 inches”).- Parameters:
measures
- a sequence of one or more measures.- Returns:
- the formatted string.
-
formatMeasurePerUnit
public StringBuilder formatMeasurePerUnit(Measure measure, MeasureUnit perUnit, StringBuilder appendTo, FieldPosition pos) Formats a single measure per unit. An example of such a formatted string is "3.5 meters per second."- Parameters:
measure
- the measure object. In above example, 3.5 meters.perUnit
- the per unit. In above example, it is MeasureUnit.SECONDappendTo
- formatted string appended here.pos
- The field position.- Returns:
- appendTo.
-
formatMeasures
public StringBuilder formatMeasures(StringBuilder appendTo, FieldPosition fpos, Measure... measures) Formats a sequence of measures. If the fieldPosition argument identifies a NumberFormat field, then its indices are set to the beginning and end of the first such field encountered. MeasureFormat itself does not supply any fields.- Parameters:
appendTo
- the formatted string appended here.fpos
- Identifies a field in the formatted text.measures
- the measures to format.- Returns:
- appendTo.
- See Also:
-
getUnitDisplayName
Gets the display name of the specifiedMeasureUnit
corresponding to the current locale and format width.- Parameters:
unit
- The unit for which to get a display name.- Returns:
- The display name in the locale and width specified in
getInstance(com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale, com.ibm.icu.text.MeasureFormat.FormatWidth)
, or null if there is no display name available for the specified unit.
-
equals
Two MeasureFormats, a and b, are equal if and only if they have the same formatWidth, locale, and equal number formats. -
hashCode
public final int hashCode() -
getWidth
Get the format width this instance is using. -
getLocale
Get the locale of this instance. -
getNumberFormat
Get a copy of the number format. -
getCurrencyFormat
Return a formatter for CurrencyAmount objects in the given locale.- Parameters:
locale
- desired locale- Returns:
- a formatter object
-

Return a formatter for CurrencyAmount objects in the givenLocale
.- Parameters:
locale
- desiredLocale
- Returns:
- a formatter object
-
getCurrencyFormat
Return a formatter for CurrencyAmount objects in the defaultFORMAT

-
getRangeFormat
Deprecated.This API is ICU internal only.Return a formatter (compiled SimpleFormatter pattern) for a range, such as "{0}–{1}".- Parameters:
