PropertyResourceBundle

public class PropertyResourceBundle
extends ResourceBundle

java.lang.Object

PropertyResourceBundle is a concrete subclass of ResourceBundle that manages resources for a locale using a set of static strings from a property file. See ResourceBundle for more information about resource bundles.

Unlike other types of resource bundle, you don't subclass PropertyResourceBundle. Instead, you supply properties files containing the resource data. ResourceBundle.getBundle will automatically look for the appropriate properties file and create a PropertyResourceBundle that refers to it. See ResourceBundle.getBundle for a complete description of the search and instantiation strategy.

The following example shows a member of a resource bundle family with the base name "MyResources". The text defines the bundle "MyResources_de", the German member of the bundle family. This member is based on PropertyResourceBundle, and the text therefore is the content of the file "MyResources_de.properties" (a related example shows how you can add bundles to this family that are implemented as subclasses of ListResourceBundle). The keys in this example are of the form "s1" etc. The actual keys are entirely up to your choice, so long as they are the same as the keys you use in your program to retrieve the objects from the bundle. Keys are case-sensitive.

Public constructors

PropertyResourceBundle

Added in API level 1

public PropertyResourceBundle (InputStream stream)

Creates a property resource bundle from an InputStream. This constructor reads the property file in UTF-8 by default. If a MalformedInputException or an UnmappableCharacterException occurs on reading the input stream, then the PropertyResourceBundle instance resets to the state before the exception, re-reads the input stream in ISO-8859-1 and continues reading. If the system property java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.encoding is set to either "ISO-8859-1" or "UTF-8", the input stream is solely read in that encoding, and throws the exception if it encounters an invalid sequence. Other encoding values are ignored for this system property. The system property is read and evaluated when initializing this class. Changing or removing the property has no effect after the initialization.

Parameters
`stream`	`InputStream`: an InputStream that represents a property file to read from.

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error occurs
`NullPointerException`	if `stream` is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if `stream` contains a malformed Unicode escape sequence.
`MalformedInputException`	if the system property `java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.encoding` is set to "UTF-8" and `stream` contains an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.
`UnmappableCharacterException`	if the system property `java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.encoding` is set to "UTF-8" and `stream` contains an unmappable UTF-8 byte sequence.

PropertyResourceBundle

Added in API level 9

public PropertyResourceBundle (Reader reader)

Creates a property resource bundle from a Reader. Unlike the constructor PropertyResourceBundle(InputStream), there is no limitation as to the encoding of the input property file.

Parameters
`reader`	`Reader`: a Reader that represents a property file to read from.

Throws
`IOException`	if an I/O error occurs
`NullPointerException`	if `reader` is null
`IllegalArgumentException`	if a malformed Unicode escape sequence appears from `reader`.
