Class CharsetDecoderICU

java.lang.Object

java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder

com.ibm.icu.charset.CharsetDecoderICU

public abstract class CharsetDecoderICU
extends CharsetDecoder

An abstract class that provides framework methods of decoding operations for concrete subclasses. In the future this class will contain API that will implement converter sematics of ICU4C.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

Status:

Internal. This API is ICU internal only.

Method Detail

implOnMalformedInput

protected final void implOnMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction newAction)

Sets the action to be taken if an illegal sequence is encountered

Overrides:

implOnMalformedInput in class CharsetDecoder

Parameters:

newAction - action to be taken

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

implOnUnmappableCharacter

protected final void implOnUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction newAction)

Sets the action to be taken if an illegal sequence is encountered

Overrides:

implOnUnmappableCharacter in class CharsetDecoder

Parameters:

newAction - action to be taken

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

setToUCallback

public final void setToUCallback(CoderResult err,
                                 CharsetCallback.Decoder newCallback,
                                 Object newContext)

Sets the callback encoder method and context to be used if an illegal sequence is encounterd. You would normally call this twice to set both the malform and unmappable error. In this case, newContext should remain the same since using a different newContext each time will negate the last one used.

Parameters:

err - CoderResult

newCallback - CharsetCallback.Encoder

newContext - Object

Status:

Stable ICU 4.0.

implFlush

protected final CoderResult implFlush(CharBuffer out)

Flushes any characters saved in the converter's internal buffer and resets the converter.

Overrides:

implFlush in class CharsetDecoder

Parameters:

out - action to be taken

Returns:

result of flushing action and completes the decoding all input. Returns CoderResult.UNDERFLOW if the action succeeds.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

implReset

protected void implReset()

Resets the to Unicode mode of converter

Overrides:

implReset in class CharsetDecoder

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

decodeLoop

protected CoderResult decodeLoop(ByteBuffer in,
                                 CharBuffer out)

Decodes one or more bytes. The default behaviour of the converter is stop and report if an error in input stream is encountered. To set different behaviour use @see CharsetDecoder.onMalformedInput() This method allows a buffer by buffer conversion of a data stream. The state of the conversion is saved between calls to convert. Among other things, this means multibyte input sequences can be split between calls. If a call to convert results in an Error, the conversion may be continued by calling convert again with suitably modified parameters.All conversions should be finished with a call to the flush method.

Specified by:

decodeLoop in class CharsetDecoder

Parameters:

in - buffer to decode

out - buffer to populate with decoded result

Returns:

Result of decoding action. Returns CoderResult.UNDERFLOW if the decoding action succeeds or more input is needed for completing the decoding action.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.6.

maxBytesPerChar

public final float maxBytesPerChar()

Returns the maxBytesPerChar value for the Charset that created this decoder.

Returns:

maxBytesPerChar

Status:

Stable ICU 4.8.
