Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
pack-priv InputMethodLocator
deriveLocator(Locale forLocale)

Returns an input method locator that has locale forLocale, but otherwise the same data as this locator.

public boolean
equals(Object other)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

pack-priv String
getActionCommandString()

Returns a string that can be used as an action command string.

pack-priv InputMethodDescriptor
pack-priv Locale
public int
hashCode()

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object.

pack-priv boolean
isLocaleAvailable(Locale locale)

Returns whether support for locale is available from the input method.

pack-priv boolean
sameInputMethod(InputMethodLocator other)

Returns whether this and other describe the same input method engine, ignoring the locale setting.

deriveLocatorback to summary
pack-priv InputMethodLocator deriveLocator(Locale forLocale)

Returns an input method locator that has locale forLocale, but otherwise the same data as this locator. Does not check whether the input method actually supports forLocale - use isLocaleAvailable for that.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

getActionCommandStringback to summary
pack-priv String getActionCommandString()

Returns a string that can be used as an action command string. The first part of the string identifies the input method; it does not include '\n'. If getLocale is not null, getLocale().toString() is appended, separated by '\n'.

hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
isLocaleAvailableback to summary
pack-priv boolean isLocaleAvailable(Locale locale)

Returns whether support for locale is available from the input method.

sameInputMethodback to summary
pack-priv boolean sameInputMethod(InputMethodLocator other)

Returns whether this and other describe the same input method engine, ignoring the locale setting.
