Method Detail

getStringValue

public static String getStringValue(Integer[] array)

Returns a formatted string for the given Integer array. The array is first sorted and then formatted like "5, 1, 7". Ranges of consecutive numbers are also consolidated, so the array "1,3,4,5" would be turned into the string "1, 3-5".

Parameters:

array - the Integer array to format into a string

Returns:

a string representation of the Integer array

getStringValue

public static String getStringValue(int[] array)

Returns a formatted string for the given int array. The array is first sorted and then formatted like "5, 1, 7". Ranges of consecutive numbers are also consolidated, so the array "1,3,4,5" would be turned into the string "1, 3-5".

Parameters:

array - the int array to format into a string

Returns:

a string representation of the int array

getValue

public Object getValue(Object object,
                       Locale locale)

Description copied from class: Formatter

Returns an object of the appropriate type for this formatter based on the given object. The given locale is used for any conversion that may be done.

The type of the given object can by anything; it is up to each specific implementation to do the appropriate conversion, parsing, etc. to create a value of the appropriate type.

The return value may be null depending on the specific implementation for a given formatter.

Subclasses must define this method to provide type-specific conversion.

Specified by:

getValue in class Formatter

Parameters:

object - the object to convert to the type for this formatter

locale - the locale used when converting the object

Returns:

an object of the appropriate type for this formatter
