Class ParsePosition

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--java.text.ParsePosition

public class ParsePosition
extends Object

`ParsePosition` is a simple class used by `Format` and its subclasses to keep track of the current position during parsing. The `parseObject` method in the various `Format` classes requires a `ParsePosition` object as an argument.

By design, as you parse through a string with different formats, you can use the same `ParsePosition`, since the index parameter records the current position.

  `Format`

Constructor Summary
`ParsePosition(int index)` Create a new ParsePosition with the given initial index.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Overrides equals
`int` | `getErrorIndex()` Retrieve the index at which an error occurred, or -1 if the error index has not been set.
`int` | `getIndex()` Retrieve the current parse position.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hash code for this ParsePosition.
`void` | `setErrorIndex(int ei)` Set the index at which a parse error occurred.
`void` | `setIndex(int index)` Set the current parse position.
`String` | `toString()` Return a string representation of this ParsePosition.

Constructor Detail

### ParsePosition

    public ParsePosition(int index)

  Create a new ParsePosition with the given initial index.

Method Detail

### getIndex

    public int getIndex()

  Retrieve the current parse position. On input to a parse method, this is the index of the character at which parsing will begin; on output, it is the index of the character following the last character parsed.

### setIndex

    public void setIndex(int index)

  Set the current parse position.

### setErrorIndex

    public void setErrorIndex(int ei)

  Set the index at which a parse error occurred. Formatters should set this before returning an error code from their parseObject method. The default value is -1 if this is not set.

### getErrorIndex

    public int getErrorIndex()

  Retrieve the index at which an error occurred, or -1 if the error index has not been set.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

  Overrides equals
  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Following copied from class: `java.lang.Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the reference object with which to compare.
  Returns:
    `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.
  See Also:
    `Boolean.hashCode()`, `Hashtable`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code for this ParsePosition.
  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a hash code value for this object

### toString

    public String toString()

  Return a string representation of this ParsePosition.
  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    a string representation of this object
