Description
public StringBuffer format​(Date date, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)
Formats the given Date into a date/time string and appends the result to the given StringBuffer.
Specified by:format in class DateFormat
Specified by:
format in class DateFormat
Parameters:
date – the date-time value to be formatted into a date-time string.
toAppendTo – where the new date-time text is to be appended.
pos – keeps track on the position of the field within the returned string. For example, given a date-time text “1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 PDT”, if the given fieldPosition is DateFormat.YEAR_FIELD, the begin index and end index of fieldPosition will be set to 0 and 4, respectively. Notice that if the same date-time field appears more than once in a pattern, the fieldPosition will be set for the first occurrence of that date-time field. For instance, formatting a Date to the date-time string “1 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)” using the pattern “h a z (zzzz)” and the alignment field DateFormat.TIMEZONE_FIELD, the begin index and end index of fieldPosition will be set to 5 and 8, respectively, for the first occurrence of the timezone pattern character ‘z’.
Returns:
the formatted date-time string.
Throws:
NullPointerException – if any of the parameters is null.
