public final class RawCollationKey extends ByteArrayWrapper
Simple class wrapper to store the internal byte representation of a CollationKey. Unlike the CollationKey, this class do not contain information on the source string the sort order represents. RawCollationKey is mutable and users can reuse its objects with the method in RuleBasedCollator.getRawCollationKey(..).
Please refer to the documentation on CollationKey for a detail description on the internal byte representation. Note the internal byte representation is always null-terminated.
Example of use:
String str[] = {.....};
RuleBasedCollator collator = (RuleBasedCollator)Collator.getInstance();
RawCollationKey key = new RawCollationKey(128);
for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i ++) {
collator.getRawCollationKey(str[i], key);
// do something with key.bytes
}
Note: Comparison between RawCollationKeys created by different Collators might return incorrect results. See class documentation for Collator.
