SignStyle

public final enum SignStyle
extends Enum<SignStyle>

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Enum<java.time.format.SignStyle>
     ↳ java.time.format.SignStyle


Enumeration of ways to handle the positive/negative sign.

The formatting engine allows the positive and negative signs of numbers to be controlled using this enum. See DateTimeFormatterBuilder for usage.

Summary

Enum values

SignStyle  ALWAYS

Style to always output the sign, where zero will output '+'. 

SignStyle  EXCEEDS_PAD

Style to always output the sign if the value exceeds the pad width. 

SignStyle  NEVER

Style to never output sign, only outputting the absolute value. 

SignStyle  NORMAL

Style to output the sign only if the value is negative. 

SignStyle  NOT_NEGATIVE

Style to block negative values, throwing an exception on printing. 

Public methods

static SignStyle valueOf(String name)

Returns a hash code for this enum constant.

final String name()

Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.

final int ordinal()

Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).

String toString()

Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.

static <T extends Enum<T>> T valueOf(Class<T> enumClass, String name)

Returns the enum constant of the specified enum class with the specified name.

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

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

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

abstract int compareTo(E o)

Compares this object with the specified object for order.

Enum values

ALWAYS

Added in API level 26
public static final SignStyle ALWAYS

Style to always output the sign, where zero will output '+'.

In strict parsing, the absence of a sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence of a sign treated as a positive number.

EXCEEDS_PAD

Added in API level 26
public static final SignStyle EXCEEDS_PAD

Style to always output the sign if the value exceeds the pad width. A negative value will always output the '-' sign.

In strict parsing, the sign will be rejected unless the pad width is exceeded. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted, with the absence of a sign treated as a positive number.

NEVER

Added in API level 26
public static final SignStyle NEVER

Style to never output sign, only outputting the absolute value.

In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed.

NORMAL

Added in API level 26
public static final SignStyle NORMAL

Style to output the sign only if the value is negative.

In strict parsing, the negative sign will be accepted and the positive sign rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted.

NOT_NEGATIVE

Added in API level 26
public static final SignStyle NOT_NEGATIVE

Style to block negative values, throwing an exception on printing.

In strict parsing, any sign will be rejected. In lenient parsing, any sign will be accepted unless the width is fixed.
