All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<TextStyle>, Constable

Enumeration of the style of text formatting and parsing.

Text styles define three sizes for the formatted text - 'full', 'short' and 'narrow'. Each of these three sizes is available in both 'standard' and 'stand-alone' variations.

The difference between the three sizes is obvious in most languages. For example, in English the 'full' month is 'January', the 'short' month is 'Jan' and the 'narrow' month is 'J'. Note that the narrow size is often not unique. For example, 'January', 'June' and 'July' all have the 'narrow' text 'J'.

The difference between the 'standard' and 'stand-alone' forms is trickier to describe as there is no difference in English. However, in other languages there is a difference in the word used when the text is used alone, as opposed to in a complete date. For example, the word used for a month when used alone in a date picker is different to the word used for month in association with a day and year in a date.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • FULL

      Full text, typically the full description. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "Monday".

    • FULL_STANDALONE

      public static final TextStyle FULL_STANDALONE

      Full text for stand-alone use, typically the full description. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "Monday".

    • SHORT

      Short text, typically an abbreviation. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "Mon".

    • SHORT_STANDALONE

      public static final TextStyle SHORT_STANDALONE

      Short text for stand-alone use, typically an abbreviation. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "Mon".

    • NARROW

      Narrow text, typically a single letter. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "M".

    • NARROW_STANDALONE

      public static final TextStyle NARROW_STANDALONE

      Narrow text for stand-alone use, typically a single letter. For example, day-of-week Monday might output "M".

  • Method Details

    • values

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null

    • isStandalone

      public boolean isStandalone()

      Returns true if the Style is a stand-alone style.

      Returns:
      true if the style is a stand-alone style.

    • asStandalone

      Returns the stand-alone style with the same size.

      Returns:
      the stand-alone style with the same size

    • asNormal

      Returns the normal style with the same size.

      Returns:
      the normal style with the same size
