The getFormats() method of java.text.MessageFormat class is used to get the formats used for previously set pattern for the message format object.
Syntax:
public Format[] getFormats()
Parameter: This method does not take any argument as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns format used for previously set pattern in the message format object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getFormats() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getFormats() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing MessageFormat MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0, date, #}, {0, number, #.##}, {0, time}"); // display the result System.out.println("pattern : " + mf.toPattern()); // getting all format // used in MessageFormat Object // using getFormats() method Format[] formats = mf.getFormats(); // display the result System.out.println("\nRequired Formats are : "); for (int i = 0; i < formats.length; i++) System.out.println(formats[i]); }} |
Output:
pattern : {0, date, #}, {0, number, #0.##}, {0, time}
Required Formats are :
java.text.SimpleDateFormat@23
java.text.DecimalFormat@674dc
java.text.SimpleDateFormat@8400729
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// getFormats() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { // creating and initializing MessageFormat MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{1, number, integer}"); // display the result System.out.println("pattern : " + mf.toPattern()); // getting all format // used in MessageFormat Object // using getFormats() method Format[] formats = mf.getFormats(); // display the result System.out.println("\nRequired Formats are : "); for (int i = 0; i < formats.length; i++) System.out.println(formats[i]); }} |
Output:
pattern : {1, number, integer}
Required Formats are :
java.text.DecimalFormat@674dc
