Element Detail

value

public abstract String value

Determines the reference name for all text resources of a calendar system.

The name must not be unique, but has to be in agreement to the conventions defined in CLDR if it exists there. The motivation of the name is a localized access to calendar specific texts of eras, months, quarters, weekdays and AM/PM. The CLDR file calendar.xml defines both names and aliases. Alias names should be preferred in most cases. ISO systems usually use the name "iso8601".

Returns:

reference name for calendar specific text resources (usually a name according to CLDR standard)
