The getLocale() method of java.text.MessageFormat class is used to get the locale used in this message format object.
Syntax:
public Locale getLocale()
Parameter: This method does not take any argument as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the locale used in this message format object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getLocale() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getLocale() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing MessageFormat
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat("{ 0 , number, #}, { 2 , date, #.#}, { 4 , time}");
// getting Locale
// used in MessageFormat Object
// using getLocale() method
Locale locale = mf.getLocale();
// display the result
System.out.println("Locale is : " + locale);
}
} |
Output:
Locale is : en_US
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // getLocale() method import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
// creating and initializing MessageFormat
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat("{ 0 , number, #}, { 2 , date, #.#}, { 4 , time}");
// setting new Locale for message format object
mf.setLocale( new Locale("zh-Hant-TW"));
// getting Locale
// used in MessageFormat Object
// using getLocale() method
Locale locale = mf.getLocale();
// display the result
System.out.println("Locale is : " + locale);
}
} |
