The library of PinyinSearch,a Java Library which provide data parsing methods, 
data matching method and so on for T9 search and Qwerty search.

PinyinSearch = T9Search + QwertySearch

Pinyin4j is a popular Java library supporting convertion between Chinese characters 
and most popular Pinyin systems. The output format of pinyin could be customized.

PinyinUnit as a base data structure to save the string that Chinese characters  
converted to Pinyin characters.

public static void parse(PinyinSearchUnit pinyinSearchUnit);
public static boolean match(PinyinSearchUnit pinyinSearchUnit,String search);
public static String getSortKey(PinyinSearchUnit pinyinSearchUnit);
public static String getFirstLetter(PinyinSearchUnit pinyinSearchUnit);
public static String getFirstCharacter(PinyinSearchUnit pinyinSearchUnit);
public static boolean isChineseCharacter(char chr);

PinyinUtil.parse(...);
T9Util.match(...);
QwertyUtil.match(...);
PinyinUtil.getSortKey(...);
PinyinUtil.getFirstLetter(...);
PinyinUtil.getFirstCharacter(...);
PinyinUtil.isChineseCharacter(...);

Import packages when use PinyinSearch Library(Dependent on pinyin4j-x.x.x.jar):
import com.pinyinsearch.util.*;
import com.pinyinsearch.model.*;

The first step:  Data parsing  (ps:Must init baseData of PinyinSearchUnit before parse)
    * (PinyinUtil.parse(...))
The second step: Data matching 
    * (T9Util.match(...) or QwertyUtil.match(...))
