Re: [icu-design] ICU4J API Proposal: Add UmAlqura Hijri Calendar

[<yos...@us...>]

Hi Waleed,

Could you explain how the algorithm is switched in IslamicCalendar. Are 
there any additional API to control the behavior?
I personally do not want to add new keyword at this point. But if you have 
explicit switch at constructor or setter level, I'm fine with it.
