Constructor & Destructor Documentation

icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::Builder (  )  [inline]

Constructs a builder used in chaining parameters for building a LocaleMatcher.

Returns:
a new Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65

Definition at line 307 of file localematcher.h.

icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::Builder ( Builder &&  src  ) 

Move constructor; might modify the source.

This builder will have the same contents that the source builder had.

Parameters:
src Builder to move contents from.
Stable:
ICU 65
icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::~Builder (  ) 

Destructor.

Stable:
ICU 65

Member Function Documentation

Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::addSupportedLocale ( const Locale locale  ) 

Adds another supported locale.

Duplicates are allowed, and are not removed.

Parameters:
locale another locale
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
LocaleMatcher icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::build ( UErrorCode errorCode  )  const

Builds and returns a new locale matcher.

This builder can continue to be used.

Parameters:
errorCode ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
LocaleMatcher
Stable:
ICU 65
UBool icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::copyErrorTo ( UErrorCode outErrorCode  )  const

Sets the UErrorCode if an error occurred while setting parameters.

Preserves older error codes in the outErrorCode.

Parameters:
outErrorCode Set to an error code if it does not contain one already and an error occurred while setting parameters. Otherwise unchanged.
Returns:
true if U_FAILURE(outErrorCode)
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::operator= ( Builder &&  src  ) 

Move assignment; might modify the source.

This builder will have the same contents that the source builder had.

Parameters:
src Builder to move contents from.
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setDefaultLocale ( const Locale defaultLocale  ) 

Sets the default locale; if nullptr, or if it is not set explicitly, then the first supported locale is used as the default locale.

There is no default locale at all (nullptr will be returned instead) if setNoDefaultLocale() is called.

Parameters:
defaultLocale the default locale (will be copied)
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setDemotionPerDesiredLocale ( ULocMatchDemotion  demotion  ) 

Option for whether all desired locales are treated equally or earlier ones are preferred (this is the default).

Parameters:
demotion the demotion per desired locale to set.
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setDirection ( ULocMatchDirection  matchDirection  )  [inline]

Option for whether to include or ignore one-way (fallback) match data.

By default, they are included.

Parameters:
matchDirection the match direction to set.
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 67

Definition at line 468 of file localematcher.h.

Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setFavorSubtag ( ULocMatchFavorSubtag  subtag  ) 

If ULOCMATCH_FAVOR_SCRIPT, then the language differences are smaller than script differences.

This is used in situations (such as maps) where it is better to fall back to the same script than a similar language.

Parameters:
subtag the subtag to favor
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setMaxDistance ( const Locale desired,
const Locale supported 
)

Sets the maximum distance for an acceptable match.

The matcher will return a match for a pair of locales only if they match at least as well as the pair given here.

For example, setMaxDistance(en-US, en-GB) limits matches to ones where the (desired, support) locales have a distance no greater than a region subtag difference. This is much stricter than the CLDR default.

The details of locale matching are subject to changes in CLDR data and in the algorithm. Specifying a maximum distance in relative terms via a sample pair of locales insulates from changes that affect all distance metrics similarly, but some changes will necessarily affect relative distances between different pairs of locales.

Parameters:
desired the desired locale for distance comparison.
supported the supported locale for distance comparison.
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 68
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setNoDefaultLocale (  ) 

Sets no default locale.

There will be no explicit or implicit default locale. If there is no good match, then the matcher will return nullptr for the best supported locale.

Stable:
ICU 68
template<typename Iter >
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setSupportedLocales ( Iter  begin,
Iter  end 
) [inline]

Copies the supported locales from the begin/end range, preserving iteration order.

Clears any previously set/added supported locales first. Duplicates are allowed, and are not removed.

Each of the iterator parameter values must be an input iterator whose value is convertible to const Locale &.

Parameters:
begin Start of range.
end Exclusive end of range.
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65

Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setSupportedLocales ( Locale::Iterator locales  ) 

Copies the supported locales, preserving iteration order.

Clears any previously set/added supported locales first. Duplicates are allowed, and are not removed.

Parameters:
locales the list of locale
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setSupportedLocalesFromListString ( StringPiece  locales  ) 

Parses an Accept-Language string (RFC 2616 Section 14.4), such as "af, en, fr;q=0.9", and sets the supported locales accordingly.

Allows whitespace in more places but does not allow "*". Clears any previously set/added supported locales first.

Parameters:
locales the Accept-Language string of locales to set
Returns:
this Builder object
Stable:
ICU 65
template<typename Iter , typename Conv >
Builder& icu::LocaleMatcher::Builder::setSupportedLocalesViaConverter ( Iter  begin,
Iter  end,
Conv  converter 
) [inline]

Copies the supported locales from the begin/end range, preserving iteration order.

Calls the converter to convert each *begin to a Locale or const Locale &. Clears any previously set/added supported locales first. Duplicates are allowed, and are not removed.

Each of the iterator parameter values must be an input iterator whose value is convertible to const Locale &.

Parameters:
begin Start of range.
end Exclusive end of range.
converter Converter from *begin to const Locale & or compatible.
Returns:
this Builder object

ICU 65
