Constructor Detail

Nickname

public Nickname()

Nickname

public Nickname(Nickname original)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

original - the property to make a copy of

Method Detail

getType

public String getType()

Gets the TYPE parameter.

Supported versions: 4.0

Returns:

the TYPE value (typically, this will be either "work" or "home") or null if it doesn't exist

setType

public void setType(String type)

Sets the TYPE parameter.

Supported versions: 4.0

Parameters:

type - the TYPE value (this should be either "work" or "home") or null to remove

getLanguage

public String getLanguage()

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Gets the language that the property value is written in.

Returns:

the language or null if not set

setLanguage

public void setLanguage(String language)

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Sets the language that the property value is written in.

Parameters:

language - the language or null to remove

getPids

public List<Pid> getPids()

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Gets the list that stores this property's PID (property ID) parameter values.

PIDs can exist on any property where multiple instances are allowed (such as Email or Address, but not StructuredName because only 1 instance of this property is allowed per vCard).

When used in conjunction with the ClientPidMap property, it allows an individual property instance to be uniquely identifiable. This feature is made use of when two different versions of the same vCard have to be merged together (called "synchronizing").

Supported versions: 4.0

Returns:

the PID parameter values (this list is mutable)

See Also:

RFC 6350 p.19

getPref

public Integer getPref()

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Gets this property's preference value. The lower this number is, the more "preferred" the property instance is compared with other properties of the same type. If a property doesn't have a preference value, then it is considered the least preferred.

In the vCard below, the Address on the second row is the most preferred because it has the lowest PREF value.

 ADR;TYPE=work;PREF=2:;;1600 Amphitheatre Parkway;Mountain View;CA;94043
 ADR;TYPE=work;PREF=1:;;One Microsoft Way;Redmond;WA;98052
 ADR;TYPE=home:;;123 Maple St;Hometown;KS;12345
 

Supported versions: 4.0

Returns:

the preference value or null if not set

See Also:

RFC 6350 p.17

setPref

public void setPref(Integer pref)

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Sets this property's preference value. The lower this number is, the more "preferred" the property instance is compared with other properties of the same type. If a property doesn't have a preference value, then it is considered the least preferred.

In the vCard below, the Address on the second row is the most preferred because it has the lowest PREF value.

 ADR;TYPE=work;PREF=2:;;1600 Amphitheatre Parkway;Mountain View;CA;94043
 ADR;TYPE=work;PREF=1:;;One Microsoft Way;Redmond;WA;98052
 ADR;TYPE=home:;;123 Maple St;Hometown;KS;12345
 

Supported versions: 4.0

Parameters:

pref - the preference value or null to remove

RFC 6350 p.17

Description copied from interface: HasAltId

Gets the property's ALTID parameter.

Supported versions: 4.0

Returns:

the ALTID or null if it doesn't exist

See Also:

VCardParameters.getAltId()

setAltId

public void setAltId(String altId)

Description copied from interface: HasAltId

Sets the property's ALTID parameter.

Supported versions: 4.0

Specified by:

setAltId in interface HasAltId

Parameters:

altId - the ALTID or null to remove

See Also:

VCardParameters.setAltId(java.lang.String)

copy

public Nickname copy()

Description copied from class: VCardProperty

Creates a copy of this property object.

The default implementation of this method uses reflection to look for a copy constructor. Child classes SHOULD override this method to avoid the performance overhead involved in using reflection.

The child class's copy constructor, if present, MUST invoke the VCardProperty.VCardProperty(VCardProperty) super constructor to ensure that the group name and parameters are also copied.

This method MUST be overridden by the child class if the child class does not have a copy constructor. Otherwise, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown when an attempt is made to copy the property (such as in the VCard class's copy constructor).

Overrides:

copy in class VCardProperty

Returns:

the copy
