Parameter: This method does not take any argument as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns format for every argument index which is present in the pattern of message format object chronologically.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getFormatsByArgumentIndex() method:
Example 1:
Java
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat( "{1, number, integer}, {2, number, float}, {5, date}" );
System.out.println( "pattern : "
+ mf.toPattern());
Format[] formats = mf.getFormatsByArgumentIndex();
System.out.println( "\nRequired Formats are : " );
for ( int i = 0 ; i < formats.length; i++)
System.out.println(formats[i]);
}
}

public static void main(String[] argv)
{
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat( "{0, number, #}, {2, date, #.#}, {4, time}" );
System.out.println( "pattern : "
+ mf.toPattern());
Format[] formats = mf.getFormatsByArgumentIndex();
System.out.println( "\nRequired Formats are : " );
for ( int i = 0 ; i < formats.length; i++)
System.out.println(formats[i]);
}
}

Output:
pattern : {0, number, #}, {2, date, #.#}, {4, time}
