Method Detail

localeToString

public static java.lang.String localeToString(java.util.Locale lo)

Converts a given locale object into a string representation. The returned String representation is of the usual Java "xx_YY(_zz)" syntax.

Parameters:

lo - A locale object

Returns:

String representation of the given locale object

isValidLocale

public static boolean isValidLocale(java.lang.String s)

Returns whether the given String is a valid locale representation. Note that this method does only a syntax check: It looks whether the given String matches the "xx(_YY(_zz))" pattern. It does not test whether the given codes are valid ISO codes.

Parameters:

s - A string to check syntactically for correct locale representation.

Returns:

True if the String is syntactically correct, false if not.

stringToLocale

public static java.util.Locale stringToLocale(java.lang.String s)

Converts a given String into a locale object. The string is not checked for syntactical or semantical correctness. As long as the Locale constructor accepts the data, it can be stored.

Parameters:

s - String (hopefully) representing a locale

Returns:

Locale object
