FieldPosition getField() method in Java with Example

The getField() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to retrieve the field identifier of this field position object.
Syntax:

public int getField()

Parameter: This method does not accepts any argument as parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the field identifier of this field position object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getField() method:
Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// getField() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // new FieldPosition Object
            FieldPosition pos
                = new FieldPosition(
                    MessageFormat.Field.ARGUMENT);

            // getting Field attribute
            // of FieldPosition object
            // using getField() method
            int i = pos.getField();

            // display result
            System.out.println(
                "field attribute :- "
                + Integer.toString(i));
        }

        catch (ClassCastException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

field attribute :- -1

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// getField() method

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // new FieldPosition Object
            FieldPosition pos
                = new FieldPosition(
                    DateFormat.Field.AM_PM);

            // getting Field attribute
            // of FieldPosition object
            // using getField() method
            int i = pos.getField();

            // display result
            System.out.println(
                "field attribute :- "
                + Integer.toString(i));
        }

        catch (ClassCastException e) {

            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

field attribute :- -1
