Class WeightFormatter

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

public class WeightFormatter extends MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
Formats and parses weight value and unit.
  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • WeightFormatter

      public WeightFormatter()
      Constructor.
    • WeightFormatter

      public WeightFormatter(Locale locale)
      Constructor with locale.
      Parameters:
      locale - locale.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if locale is null.
    • WeightFormatter

      public WeightFormatter(WeightFormatter formatter)
      Copy constructor.
      Parameters:
      formatter - input instance to copy from.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if provided formatter is null.
  • Method Details

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Determines if two weight formatters are equal by comparing all of their internal parameters.
      Overrides:
      equals in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      obj - another object to compare.
      Returns:
      true if provided object is assumed to be equal to this instance.
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Hash code generated for this instance. Hash codes can be internally used by some collections to coarsely compare objects. This implementation only calls parent implementation to avoid static analyzer warning.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Returns:
      hash code.
    • getUnitSystem

      public UnitSystem getUnitSystem(String source)
      Gets unit system for detected unit into provided string representation of a measurement.
      Specified by:
      getUnitSystem in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      source - a measurement string representation to be checked.
      Returns:
      a unit system (either metric or imperial) or null if unit cannot be determined.
    • parse

      public Weight parse(String source) throws ParseException, UnknownUnitException
      Parses provided string and tries to determine a weight value and unit.
      Specified by:
      parse in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      source - a string to be parsed.
      Returns:
      a weight containing a value and unit.
      Throws:
      ParseException - if provided string cannot be parsed.
      UnknownUnitException - if unit cannot be determined.
    • findUnit

      public WeightUnit findUnit(String source)
      Attempts to determine a weight unit within a measurement string representation.
      Specified by:
      findUnit in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      source - a weight measurement string representation.
      Returns:
      a weight unit, or null if none can be determined.
    • formatAndConvert

      public String formatAndConvert(Number value, WeightUnit unit, UnitSystem system)
      Formats and converts provided weight value and unit using provided unit system. If provided value is too large for provided unit, this method will convert it to a more appropriate unit using provided unit system (either metric or imperial).
      Specified by:
      formatAndConvert in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      value - a weight value.
      unit - a weight unit.
      system - system unit to convert measurement to.
      Returns:
      a string representation of weight value and unit.
    • formatAndConvertMetric

      public String formatAndConvertMetric(Number value, WeightUnit unit)
      Formats and converts provided weight value and unit using metric unit system. If provided weight value is too large for provided weight unit, this method will convert to a more appropriate unit.
      Parameters:
      value - a weight value.
      unit - a weight unit.
      Returns:
      a string representation of weight value and unit using metric unit system.
    • formatAndConvertImperial

      public String formatAndConvertImperial(Number value, WeightUnit unit)
      Formats and converts provided weight value and unit using imperial unit system. If provided weight value is too large for provided weight unit, this method will convert to a more appropriate unit.
      Parameters:
      value - a weight value.
      unit - a weight unit.
      Returns:
      a string representation of weight value and unit using imperial unit system.
    • getUnitSymbol

      public String getUnitSymbol(WeightUnit unit)
      Returns unit string representation.
      Specified by:
      getUnitSymbol in class MeasureFormatter<Weight,WeightUnit>
      Parameters:
      unit - a weight unit.
      Returns:
      its string representation.
