The setVariant(String) method of java.util.Locale.Builder class in Java is used to set this Locale.Builder to the specified variant. It means that this method will set the current variant of Locale.Builder instance to match the provided variant and return it. If the specified variant is null or empty, then the variant of this LocaleBuilder is removed. The specified variant is checked against the IETF BCP 47 variant subtag’s syntax requirements, after which is it normalized to lowercase.
Syntax:
public Locale.Builder setVariant(String variant)
Parameter: This method accepts the variant as a parameter which is the String that is to be set to this Locale.Builder instance.
Return Value: This method returns an Locale.Builder instance with the variant set of this Locale.Builder to the specified variant.
Exception: This method throws following Exceptions:
- IllformedLocaleException: if the specified variant has any ill formed fields
