Method Detail

setCountry

void setCountry(String country)

Set the country used by this numberer (currently used only for names of timezones)

getCountry

String getCountry()

format

String format(long number,
              String picture,
              int groupSize,
              String groupSeparator,
              String letterValue,
              String ordinal)

Format a number into a string

Parameters:

number - The number to be formatted

picture - The format token. This is a single component of the format attribute of xsl:number, e.g. "1", "01", "i", or "a"

groupSize - number of digits per group (0 implies no grouping)

groupSeparator - string to appear between groups of digits

letterValue - The letter-value specified to xsl:number: "alphabetic" or "traditional". Can also be an empty string or null.

ordinal - The value of the ordinal attribute specified to xsl:number The value "yes" indicates that ordinal numbers should be used; "" or null indicates that cardinal numbers

Returns:

the formatted number. Note that no errors are reported; if the request is invalid, the number is formatted as if the string() function were used.

monthName

String monthName(int month,
                 int minWidth,
                 int maxWidth)
