The getFieldAttribute() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to get the field identifier in the form of Format.field.
Syntax:
public Format.Field getFieldAttribute()
Parameter: This method does not accepts any argument as parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the field identifier in the form of Format.field.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getFieldAttribute() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getFieldAttribute() 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 getFieldAttribute() method
Format.Field i = pos.getFieldAttribute();
// display result
System.out.println("field identifier. :- " + i);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
field identifier. :- java.text.MessageFormat$Field(message argument field)
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getFieldAttribute() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
// Creating and initializing
// new FieldPosition Object
FieldPosition pos
= new FieldPosition(
DateFormat.Field.AM_PM);
// getting Field attribute
// of FieldPosition object
// using getFieldAttribute() method
Format.Field i = pos.getFieldAttribute();
// display result
System.out.println("field identifier. :- " + i);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
field identifier. :- java.text.DateFormat$Field(am pm)
