Use the iterator to return the ordering priority of the positioned character. The ordering priority of a character, which we refer to as a key, defines how a character is collated in the given collation object. For example, consider the following in Spanish:
And in German,"ca" -> the first key is key('c') and second key is key('a'). "cha" -> the first key is key('ch') and second key is key('a').
The key of a character, is an integer composed of primary order(short), secondary order(char), and tertiary order(char). Java strictly defines the size and signedness of its primitive data types. Therefore, the static functions primaryOrder(), secondaryOrder(), and tertiaryOrder() return int32_t to ensure the correctness of the key value."ęb"-> the first key is key('a'), the second key is key('e'), and the third key is key('b').
Example of the iterator usage: (without error checking)
void CollationElementIterator_Example() { UnicodeString str = "This is a test"; UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR; RuleBasedCollator* rbc = (RuleBasedCollator*) RuleBasedCollator::createInstance(success); CollationElementIterator* c = rbc->createCollationElementIterator( str ); int32_t order = c->next(success); c->reset(); order = c->previous(success); delete c; delete rbc; }
CollationElementIterator::next returns the collation order of the next character based on the comparison level of the collator. CollationElementIterator::previous returns the collation order of the previous character based on the comparison level of the collator. The Collation Element Iterator moves only in one direction between calls to CollationElementIterator::reset. That is, CollationElementIterator::next() and CollationElementIterator::previous can not be inter-used. Whenever CollationElementIterator::previous is to be called after CollationElementIterator::next() or vice versa, CollationElementIterator::reset has to be called first to reset the status, shifting pointers to either the end or the start of the string. Hence at the next call of CollationElementIterator::previous or CollationElementIterator::next(), the first or last collation order will be returned. If a change of direction is done without a CollationElementIterator::reset(), the result is undefined. The result of a forward iterate (CollationElementIterator::next) and reversed result of the backward iterate (CollationElementIterator::previous) on the same string are equivalent, if collation orders with the value UCOL_IGNORABLE are ignored. Character based on the comparison level of the collator. A collation order consists of primary order, secondary order and tertiary order. The data type of the collation order is t_int32.
Note, CollationElementIterator should not be subclassed.

Copy constructor. @stable |

CollationElementIterator constructor. This takes the source string and the collation object. The cursor will walk thru the source string based on the predefined collation rules. If the source string is empty, NULLORDER will be returned on the calls to next().
