MessagePattern.ArgType (ICU4J 75)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<MessagePattern.ArgType>
- - com.ibm.icu.text.MessagePattern.ArgType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MessagePattern.ArgType>

Enclosing class:

MessagePattern
```
public static enum MessagePattern.ArgType
extends Enum<MessagePattern.ArgType>
```
Argument type constants. Returned by Part.getArgType() for ARG_START and ARG_LIMIT parts. Messages nested inside an argument are each delimited by MSG_START and MSG_LIMIT, with a nesting level one greater than the surrounding message.

Status:
Stable ICU 4.8.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`CHOICE` The argument is a ChoiceFormat with one or more ((ARG_INT \| ARG_DOUBLE), ARG_SELECTOR, message) tuples.
`NONE` The argument has no specified type.
`PLURAL` The argument is a cardinal-number PluralFormat with an optional ARG_INT or ARG_DOUBLE offset (e.g., offset:1) and one or more (ARG_SELECTOR [explicit-value] message) tuples.
`SELECT` The argument is a SelectFormat with one or more (ARG_SELECTOR, message) pairs.
`SELECTORDINAL` The argument is an ordinal-number PluralFormat with the same style parts sequence and semantics as `PLURAL`.
`SIMPLE` The argument has a "simple" type which is provided by the ARG_TYPE part.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NONE
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType NONE
```
    The argument has no specified type.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - SIMPLE
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType SIMPLE
```
    The argument has a "simple" type which is provided by the ARG_TYPE part. An ARG_STYLE part might follow that.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - CHOICE
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType CHOICE
```
    The argument is a ChoiceFormat with one or more ((ARG_INT | ARG_DOUBLE), ARG_SELECTOR, message) tuples.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - PLURAL
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType PLURAL
```
    The argument is a cardinal-number PluralFormat with an optional ARG_INT or ARG_DOUBLE offset (e.g., offset:1) and one or more (ARG_SELECTOR [explicit-value] message) tuples. If the selector has an explicit value (e.g., =2), then that value is provided by the ARG_INT or ARG_DOUBLE part preceding the message. Otherwise the message immediately follows the ARG_SELECTOR.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - SELECT
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType SELECT
```
    The argument is a SelectFormat with one or more (ARG_SELECTOR, message) pairs.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 4.8.
  - SELECTORDINAL
```
public static final MessagePattern.ArgType SELECTORDINAL
```
    The argument is an ordinal-number PluralFormat with the same style parts sequence and semantics as PLURAL.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 50.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static MessagePattern.ArgType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (MessagePattern.ArgType c : MessagePattern.ArgType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static MessagePattern.ArgType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - hasPluralStyle
```
public boolean hasPluralStyle()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the argument type has a plural style part sequence and semantics, for example PLURAL and SELECTORDINAL.
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 50.
