Attribute

open class Attribute : Serializable

kotlin.Any
↳	java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute

Known Direct Subclasses

Format.Field, TextAttribute

Format.Field	Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `Format.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.
TextAttribute	The `TextAttribute` class defines attribute keys and attribute values used for text rendering.

Known Indirect Subclasses

DateFormat.Field, DateFormat.Field, MessageFormat.Field, MessageFormat.Field, NumberFormat.Field, NumberFormat.Field

DateFormat.Field	The instances of this inner class are used as attribute keys and values in AttributedCharacterIterator that DateFormat.
DateFormat.Field	Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `DateFormat.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.
MessageFormat.Field	Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator`.
MessageFormat.Field	Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `MessageFormat.formatToCharacterIterator`.
NumberFormat.Field	The instances of this inner class are used as attribute keys and values in AttributedCharacterIterator that NumberFormat.
NumberFormat.Field	Defines constants that are used as attribute keys in the `AttributedCharacterIterator` returned from `NumberFormat.formatToCharacterIterator` and as field identifiers in `FieldPosition`.

Defines attribute keys that are used to identify text attributes. These keys are used in AttributedCharacterIterator and AttributedString.

Protected constructors

Attribute

Added in API level 1

protected Attribute(name: String!)

Constructs an Attribute with the given name.

Parameters
`name`	String!: the name of `Attribute`

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 1

fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compares two objects for equality. This version only returns true for x.equals(y) if x and y refer to the same object, and guarantees this for all subclasses.

Parameters
`obj`	the reference object with which to compare.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

hashCode

Added in API level 1

fun hashCode(): Int

Returns a hash code value for the object. This version is identical to the one in Object, but is also final.

Return
`Int`	a hash code value for this object.

toString

Added in API level 1

open fun toString(): String

Returns a string representation of the object. This version returns the concatenation of class name, "(", a name identifying the attribute and ")".

Return
`String`	a string representation of the object.

Protected methods

getName

Added in API level 1

protected open fun getName(): String!

Returns the name of the attribute.

Return
`String!`	the name of `Attribute`

readResolve

Added in API level 1

protected open fun readResolve(): Any!

Resolves instances being deserialized to the predefined constants.

Return
`Any!`	the resolved `Attribute` object

Exceptions
`java.io.InvalidObjectException`	if the object to resolve is not an instance of `Attribute`

Properties

INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT

Added in API level 1

static val INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT: AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute!

Attribute key for input method segments. Input methods often break up text into segments, which usually correspond to words.

Values are instances of Annotation holding a null reference.

See Also

java.text.Annotation

LANGUAGE

Added in API level 1

static val LANGUAGE: AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute!

Attribute key for the language of some text.

Values are instances of Locale.

See Also

java.util.Locale

READING

Added in API level 1

static val READING: AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute!

Attribute key for the reading of some text. In languages where the written form and the pronunciation of a word are only loosely related (such as Japanese), it is often necessary to store the reading (pronunciation) along with the written form.

Values are instances of Annotation holding instances of String.
