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
