* This API is very basic and is intended to be a building block for more * fancy APIs. The caller tells it exactly what to display in a locale * independent way. While this class automatically provides the correct plural * forms, the grammatical form is otherwise as neutral as possible. It is the * caller's responsibility to handle cut-off logic such as deciding between * displaying "in 7 days" or "in 1 week." This API supports relative dates * involving one single unit. This API does not support relative dates * involving compound units, * e.g "in 5 days and 4 hours" nor does it support parsing. *
* This class is mostly thread safe and immutable with the following caveats: * 1. The assignment operator violates Immutability. It must not be used * concurrently with other operations. * 2. Caller must not hold onto adopted pointers. *
* This class is not intended for public subclassing. *
* Here are some examples of use: *
* * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR; * UnicodeString appendTo; * RelativeDateTimeFormatter fmt(status); * // Appends "in 1 day" * fmt.format( * 1, UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_RELATIVE_DAYS, appendTo, status); * // Appends "in 3 days" * fmt.format( * 3, UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_RELATIVE_DAYS, appendTo, status); * // Appends "3.2 years ago" * fmt.format( * 3.2, UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_RELATIVE_YEARS, appendTo, status); * // Appends "last Sunday" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "this Sunday" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_THIS, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "next Sunday" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "Sunday" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_PLAIN, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_SUNDAY, appendTo, status); * * // Appends "yesterday" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_LAST, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "today" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_THIS, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "tomorrow" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_NEXT, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_DAY, appendTo, status); * // Appends "now" * fmt.format(UDAT_DIRECTION_PLAIN, UDAT_ABSOLUTE_NOW, appendTo, status); * * *
