The getInstance(Locale) method of java.text.Collator class is used to get the new collator object having the desired locale.
Syntax:
public static Collator getInstance(Locale desiredLocale)
Parameter: This method takes the desired locale for which collator object has to be created.
Return Value: it provides the new collator object having the desired locale.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getInstance() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// getInstance() method import java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing new simple rule String simple = "< a< b< c< d"; // Creating and initializing // new RuleBasedCollator Object RuleBasedCollator col_1 = new RuleBasedCollator(simple); // Creating and initializing Collator // Object with Locale.UK // using getInstance() method Collator col_2 = Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK); // display result if (col_1.equals(col_2)) System.out.println( col_1 + " is equal to " + col_2); else System.out.println( col_1 + " is not equal to " + col_2); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (ParseException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@5eb2e1c2 is not equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// getInstance() method import java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing Collator Object // with Locale.UK // using getInstance() method Collator col_1 = Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK); // Creating and initializing Collator Object // with Locale.US // using getInstance() method Collator col_2 = Collator.getInstance(Locale.US); // display result if (col_1.equals(col_2)) System.out.println( col_1 + " is equal to " + col_2); else System.out.println( col_1 + " is not equal to " + col_2); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6 is equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
