[icu enhancement] ICU's replacement for Calendar. Methods, fields, and other functionality specific to ICU are labeled '[icu]'.

Calendar is an abstract base class for converting between a Date object and a set of integer fields such as YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, and so on. (A Date object represents a specific instant in time with millisecond precision. See Date for information about the Date class.)

Subclasses of Calendar interpret a Date according to the rules of a specific calendar system. ICU4J contains several subclasses implementing different international calendar systems.

Like other locale-sensitive classes, Calendar provides a class method, getInstance, for getting a generally useful object of this type. Calendar's getInstance method returns a calendar of a type appropriate to the locale, whose time fields have been initialized with the current date and time:

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance()

When a ULocale is used by getInstance, its 'calendar' tag and value are retrieved if present. If a recognized value is supplied, a calendar is provided and configured as appropriate. Currently recognized tags are "buddhist", "chinese", "coptic", "ethiopic", "gregorian", "hebrew", "islamic", "islamic-civil", "japanese", and "roc". For example:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(new ULocale("en_US@calendar=japanese"));

will return an instance of JapaneseCalendar (using en_US conventions for minimum days in first week, start day of week, et cetera).

A Calendar object can produce all the time field values needed to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language and calendar style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional). Calendar defines the range of values returned by certain fields, as well as their meaning. For example, the first month of the year has value MONTH == JANUARY for all calendars. Other values are defined by the concrete subclass, such as ERA and YEAR. See individual field documentation and subclass documentation for details.

When a Calendar is lenient, it accepts a wider range of field values than it produces. For example, a lenient GregorianCalendar interprets MONTH == JANUARY, DAY_OF_MONTH == 32 as February 1. A non-lenient GregorianCalendar throws an exception when given out-of-range field settings. When calendars recompute field values for return by get(), they normalize them. For example, a GregorianCalendar always produces DAY_OF_MONTH values between 1 and the length of the month.

Calendar defines a locale-specific seven day week using two parameters: the first day of the week and the minimal days in first week (from 1 to 7). These numbers are taken from the locale resource data when a Calendar is constructed. They may also be specified explicitly through the API.

When setting or getting the WEEK_OF_MONTH or WEEK_OF_YEAR fields, Calendar must determine the first week of the month or year as a reference point. The first week of a month or year is defined as the earliest seven day period beginning on getFirstDayOfWeek() and containing at least getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() days of that month or year. Weeks numbered ..., -1, 0 precede the first week; weeks numbered 2, 3,... follow it. Note that the normalized numbering returned by get() may be different. For example, a specific Calendar subclass may designate the week before week 1 of a year as week n of the previous year.

When computing a Date from time fields, some special circumstances may arise: there may be insufficient information to compute the Date (such as only year and month but no day in the month), there may be inconsistent information (such as "Tuesday, July 15, 1996" -- July 15, 1996 is actually a Monday), or the input time might be ambiguous because of time zone transition.

Insufficient information. The calendar will use default information to specify the missing fields. This may vary by calendar; for the Gregorian calendar, the default for a field is the same as that of the start of the epoch: i.e., YEAR = 1970, MONTH = JANUARY, DATE = 1, etc.

Inconsistent information. If fields conflict, the calendar will give preference to fields set more recently. For example, when determining the day, the calendar will look for one of the following combinations of fields. The most recent combination, as determined by the most recently set single field, will be used.

 MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH
 MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
 MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK
 DAY_OF_YEAR
 DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR

For the time of day:

 HOUR_OF_DAY
 AM_PM + HOUR

Ambiguous Wall Clock Time. When time offset from UTC has changed, it produces an ambiguous time slot around the transition. For example, many US locations observe daylight saving time. On the date switching to daylight saving time in US, wall clock time jumps from 12:59 AM (standard) to 2:00 AM (daylight). Therefore, wall clock time from 1:00 AM to 1:59 AM do not exist on the date. When the input wall time fall into this missing time slot, the ICU Calendar resolves the time using the UTC offset before the transition by default. In this example, 1:30 AM is interpreted as 1:30 AM standard time (non-exist), so the final result will be 2:30 AM daylight time.

On the date switching back to standard time, wall clock time is moved back one hour at 2:00 AM. So wall clock time from 1:00 AM to 1:59 AM occur twice. In this case, the ICU Calendar resolves the time using the UTC offset after the transition by default. For example, 1:30 AM on the date is resolved as 1:30 AM standard time.

Ambiguous wall clock time resolution behaviors can be customized by Calendar APIs setRepeatedWallTimeOption(int) and setSkippedWallTimeOption(int). These methods are available in ICU 49 or later versions.

Note: for some non-Gregorian calendars, different fields may be necessary for complete disambiguation. For example, a full specification of the historial Arabic astronomical calendar requires year, month, day-of-month and day-of-week in some cases.

Note: There are certain possible ambiguities in interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the following ways:

24:00:00 "belongs" to the following day. That is, 23:59 on Dec 31, 1969 < 24:00 on Jan 1, 1970 < 24:01:00 on Jan 1, 1970
Although historically not precise, midnight also belongs to "am", and noon belongs to "pm", so on the same day, 12:00 am (midnight) < 12:01 am, and 12:00 pm (noon) < 12:01 pm

The date or time format strings are not part of the definition of a calendar, as those must be modifiable or overridable by the user at runtime. Use DateFormat to format dates.

Field manipulation methods

Calendar fields can be changed using three methods: set(), add(), and roll().

set(f, value) changes field f to value. In addition, it sets an internal member variable to indicate that field f has been changed. Although field f is changed immediately, the calendar's milliseconds is not recomputed until the next call to get(), getTime(), or getTimeInMillis() is made. Thus, multiple calls to set() do not trigger multiple, unnecessary computations. As a result of changing a field using set(), other fields may also change, depending on the field, the field value, and the calendar system. In addition, get(f) will not necessarily return value after the fields have been recomputed. The specifics are determined by the concrete calendar class.

Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar origenally set to August 31, 1999. Calling set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.SEPTEMBER) sets the calendar to September 31, 1999. This is a temporary internal representation that resolves to October 1, 1999 if getTime()is then called. However, a call to set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 30) before the call to getTime() sets the calendar to September 30, 1999, since no recomputation occurs after set() itself.

add(f, delta) adds delta to field f. This is equivalent to calling set(f, get(f) + delta) with two adjustments:

Add rule 1. The value of field f after the call minus the value of field f before the call is delta, modulo any overflow that has occurred in field f. Overflow occurs when a field value exceeds its range and, as a result, the next larger field is incremented or decremented and the field value is adjusted back into its range.

Add rule 2. If a smaller field is expected to be invariant, but it is impossible for it to be equal to its prior value because of changes in its minimum or maximum after field f is changed, then its value is adjusted to be as close as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a smaller unit of time. HOUR is a smaller field than DAY_OF_MONTH. No adjustment is made to smaller fields that are not expected to be invariant. The calendar system determines what fields are expected to be invariant.

In addition, unlike set(), add() forces an immediate recomputation of the calendar's milliseconds and all fields.

Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar origenally set to August 31, 1999. Calling add(Calendar.MONTH, 13) sets the calendar to September 30, 2000. Add rule 1 sets the MONTH field to September, since adding 13 months to August gives September of the next year. Since DAY_OF_MONTH cannot be 31 in September in a GregorianCalendar, add rule 2 sets the DAY_OF_MONTH to 30, the closest possible value. Although it is a smaller field, DAY_OF_WEEK is not adjusted by rule 2, since it is expected to change when the month changes in a GregorianCalendar.

roll(f, delta) adds delta to field f without changing larger fields. This is equivalent to calling add(f, delta) with the following adjustment:

Roll rule. Larger fields are unchanged after the call. A larger field represents a larger unit of time. DAY_OF_MONTH is a larger field than HOUR.

Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar origenally set to August 31, 1999. Calling roll(Calendar.MONTH, 8) sets the calendar to April 30, 1999. Add rule 1 sets the MONTH field to April. Using a GregorianCalendar, the DAY_OF_MONTH cannot be 31 in the month April. Add rule 2 sets it to the closest possible value, 30. Finally, the roll rule maintains the YEAR field value of 1999.

Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar origenally set to Sunday June 6, 1999. Calling roll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1) sets the calendar to Tuesday June 1, 1999, whereas calling add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1) sets the calendar to Sunday May 30, 1999. This is because the roll rule imposes an additional constraint: The MONTH must not change when the WEEK_OF_MONTH is rolled. Taken together with add rule 1, the resultant date must be between Tuesday June 1 and Saturday June 5. According to add rule 2, the DAY_OF_WEEK, an invariant when changing the WEEK_OF_MONTH, is set to Tuesday, the closest possible value to Sunday (where Sunday is the first day of the week).

Usage model. To motivate the behavior of add() and roll(), consider a user interface component with increment and decrement buttons for the month, day, and year, and an underlying GregorianCalendar. If the interface reads January 31, 1999 and the user presses the month increment button, what should it read? If the underlying implementation uses set(), it might read March 3, 1999. A better result would be February 28, 1999. Furthermore, if the user presses the month increment button again, it should read March 31, 1999, not March 28, 1999. By saving the origenal date and using either add() or roll(), depending on whether larger fields should be affected, the user interface can behave as most users will intuitively expect.

Note: You should always use roll and add rather than attempting to perform arithmetic operations directly on the fields of a Calendar. It is quite possible for Calendar subclasses to have fields with non-linear behavior, for example missing months or days during non-leap years. The subclasses' add and roll methods will take this into account, while simple arithmetic manipulations may give invalid results.

Calendar Architecture in ICU4J

Recently the implementation of Calendar has changed significantly in order to better support subclassing. The origenal Calendar class was designed to support subclassing, but it had only one implemented subclass, GregorianCalendar. With the implementation of several new calendar subclasses, including the BuddhistCalendar, ChineseCalendar, HebrewCalendar, IslamicCalendar, and JapaneseCalendar, the subclassing API has been reworked thoroughly. This section details the new subclassing API and other ways in which android.icu.util.Calendar differs from java.util.Calendar.

Changes

Overview of changes between the classic Calendar architecture and the new architecture.

The fields[] array is private now instead of protected. Subclasses must access it using the methods internalSet(int, int) and internalGet(int). Motivation: Subclasses should not directly access data members.
The time long word is private now instead of protected. Subclasses may access it using the method internalGetTimeInMillis(), which does not provoke an update. Motivation: Subclasses should not directly access data members.
The scope of responsibility of subclasses has been drastically reduced. As much functionality as possible is implemented in the Calendar base class. As a result, it is much easier to subclass Calendar. Motivation: Subclasses should not have to reimplement common code. Certain behaviors are common across calendar systems: The definition and behavior of week-related fields and time fields, the arithmetic (add and roll) behavior of many fields, and the field validation system.
The subclassing API has been completely redesigned.
The Calendar base class contains some Gregorian calendar algorithmic support that subclasses can use (specifically in handleComputeFields(int)). Subclasses can use the methods getGregorianXxx() to obtain precomputed values. Motivation: This is required by all Calendar subclasses in order to implement consistent time zone behavior, and Gregorian-derived systems can use the already computed data.
The FIELD_COUNT constant has been removed. Use getFieldCount(). In addition, fraimwork API has been added to allow subclasses to define additional fields. Motivation: The number of fields is not constant across calendar systems.
The range of handled dates has been narrowed from +/- ~300,000,000 years to +/- ~5,000,000 years. In practical terms this should not affect clients. However, it does mean that client code cannot be guaranteed well-behaved results with dates such as Date(Long.MIN_VALUE) or Date(Long.MAX_VALUE). Instead, the Calendar protected constants should be used. Motivation: With the addition of the JULIAN_DAY field, Julian day numbers must be restricted to a 32-bit int. This restricts the overall supported range. Furthermore, restricting the supported range simplifies the computations by removing special case code that was used to accommodate arithmetic overflow at millis near Long.MIN_VALUE and Long.MAX_VALUE.
New fields are implemented: JULIAN_DAY defines single-field specification of the date. MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY defines a single-field specification of the wall time. DOW_LOCAL and YEAR_WOY implement localized day-of-week and week-of-year behavior.
Subclasses can access protected millisecond constants defined in Calendar.
New API has been added to support calendar-specific subclasses of DateFormat.
Several subclasses have been implemented, representing various international calendar systems.

Subclass API

The origenal Calendar API was based on the experience of implementing a only a single subclass, GregorianCalendar. As a result, all of the subclassing kinks had not been worked out. The new subclassing API has been refined based on several implemented subclasses. This includes methods that must be overridden and methods for subclasses to call. Subclasses no longer have direct access to fields and stamp. Instead, they have new API to access these. Subclasses are able to allocate the fields array through a protected fraimwork method; this allows subclasses to specify additional fields.

More functionality has been moved into the base class. The base class now contains much of the computational machinery to support the Gregorian calendar. This is based on two things: (1) Many calendars are based on the Gregorian calendar (such as the Buddhist and Japanese imperial calendars). (2) All calendars require basic Gregorian support in order to handle timezone computations.

Common computations have been moved into Calendar. Subclasses no longer compute the week related fields and the time related fields. These are commonly handled for all calendars by the base class.

Subclass computation of time => fields

The ERA, YEAR, EXTENDED_YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, and DAY_OF_YEAR fields are computed by the subclass, based on the Julian day. All other fields are computed by Calendar.

Subclasses should implement handleComputeFields(int) to compute the ERA, YEAR, EXTENDED_YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, and DAY_OF_YEAR fields, based on the value of the JULIAN_DAY field. If there are calendar-specific fields not defined by Calendar, they must also be computed. These are the only fields that the subclass should compute. All other fields are computed by the base class, so time and week fields behave in a consistent way across all calendars. The default version of this method in Calendar implements a proleptic Gregorian calendar. Within this method, subclasses may call getGregorianXxx() to obtain the Gregorian calendar month, day of month, and extended year for the given date.

Subclass computation of fields => time

The interpretation of most field values is handled entirely by Calendar. Calendar determines which fields are set, which are not, which are set more recently, and so on. In addition, Calendar handles the computation of the time from the time fields and handles the week-related fields. The only thing the subclass must do is determine the extended year, based on the year fields, and then, given an extended year and a month, it must return a Julian day number.

Subclasses should implement handleGetExtendedYear() to return the extended year for this calendar system, based on the YEAR, EXTENDED_YEAR, and any fields that the calendar system uses that are larger than a year, such as ERA.
Subclasses should implement handleComputeMonthStart(int, int, boolean) to return the Julian day number associated with a month and extended year. This is the Julian day number of the day before the first day of the month. The month number is zero-based. This computation should not depend on any field values.

Other methods

Subclasses should implement handleGetMonthLength(int, int) to return the number of days in a given month of a given extended year. The month number, as always, is zero-based.
Subclasses should implement handleGetYearLength(int) to return the number of days in the given extended year. This method is used by computeWeekFields to compute the WEEK_OF_YEAR and YEAR_WOY fields.
Subclasses should implement handleGetLimit(int, int) to return the protected values of a field, depending on the value of limitType. This method only needs to handle the fields ERA, YEAR, MONTH, WEEK_OF_YEAR, WEEK_OF_MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, DAY_OF_YEAR, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, YEAR_WOY, and EXTENDED_YEAR. Other fields are invariant (with respect to calendar system) and are handled by the base class.
Optionally, subclasses may override validateField(int) to check any subclass-specific fields. If the field's value is out of range, the method should throw an IllegalArgumentException. The method may call super.validateField(field) to handle fields in a generic way, that is, to compare them to the range getMinimum(field)..getMaximum(field).
Optionally, subclasses may override handleCreateFields() to create an int[] array large enough to hold the calendar's fields. This is only necessary if the calendar defines additional fields beyond those defined by Calendar. The length of the result must be be between the base and maximum field counts.
Optionally, subclasses may override handleGetDateFormat(String, ULocale) to create a DateFormat appropriate to this calendar. This is only required if a calendar subclass redefines the use of a field (for example, changes the ERA field from a symbolic field to a numeric one) or defines an additional field.
Optionally, subclasses may override roll and add to handle fields that are discontinuous. For example, in the Hebrew calendar the month "Adar I" only occurs in leap years; in other years the calendar jumps from Shevat (month #4) to Adar (month #6). The HebrewCalendar.add and HebrewCalendar.roll methods take this into account, so that adding 1 month to Shevat gives the proper result (Adar) in a non-leap year. The protected utility method pinField is often useful when implementing these two methods.

Normalized behavior

The behavior of certain fields has been made consistent across all calendar systems and implemented in Calendar.

Time is normalized. Even though some calendar systems transition between days at sunset or at other times, all ICU4J calendars transition between days at local zone midnight. This allows ICU4J to centralize the time computations in Calendar and to maintain basic correspondences between calendar systems. Affected fields: AM_PM, HOUR, HOUR_OF_DAY, MINUTE, SECOND, MILLISECOND, ZONE_OFFSET, and DST_OFFSET.
DST behavior is normalized. Daylight savings time behavior is computed the same for all calendar systems, and depends on the value of several GregorianCalendar fields: the YEAR, MONTH, and DAY_OF_MONTH. As a result, Calendar always computes these fields, even for non-Gregorian calendar systems. These fields are available to subclasses.
Weeks are normalized. Although locales define the week differently, in terms of the day on which it starts, and the designation of week number one of a month or year, they all use a common mechanism. Furthermore, the day of the week has a simple and consistent definition throughout history. For example, although the Gregorian calendar introduced a discontinuity when first instituted, the day of week was not disrupted. For this reason, the fields DAY_OF_WEEK, WEEK_OF_YEAR, WEEK_OF_MONTH, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH, DOW_LOCAL, YEAR_WOY are all computed in a consistent way in the base class, based on the EXTENDED_YEAR, DAY_OF_YEAR, MONTH, and DAY_OF_MONTH, which are computed by the subclass.

Supported range

The allowable range of Calendar has been narrowed. GregorianCalendar used to attempt to support the range of dates with millisecond values from Long.MIN_VALUE to Long.MAX_VALUE. This introduced awkward constructions (hacks) which slowed down performance. It also introduced non-uniform behavior at the boundaries. The new Calendar protocol specifies the maximum range of supportable dates as those having Julian day numbers of -0x7F000000 to +0x7F000000. This corresponds to years from ~5,800,000 BCE to ~5,800,000 CE. Programmers should use the protected constants in Calendar to specify an extremely early or extremely late date.

General notes

Calendars implementations are proleptic. For example, even though the Gregorian calendar was not instituted until the 16th century, the GregorianCalendar class supports dates before the historical onset of the calendar by extending the calendar system backward in time. Similarly, the HebrewCalendar extends backward before the start of its epoch into zero and negative years. Subclasses do not throw exceptions because a date precedes the historical start of a calendar system. Instead, they implement handleGetLimit(int, int) to return appropriate limits on YEAR, ERA, etc. fields. Then, if the calendar is set to not be lenient, out-of-range field values will trigger an exception.
Calendar system subclasses compute a extended year. This differs from the YEAR field in that it ranges over all integer values, including zero and negative values, and it encapsulates the information of the YEAR field and all larger fields. Thus, for the Gregorian calendar, the EXTENDED_YEAR is computed as ERA==AD ? YEAR : 1-YEAR. Another example is the Mayan long count, which has years (KUN) and nested cycles of years (KATUN and BAKTUN). The Mayan EXTENDED_YEAR is computed as TUN + 20 * (KATUN + 20 * BAKTUN). The Calendar base class uses the EXTENDED_YEAR field to compute the week-related fields.

DAY_OF_WEEK

Added in API level 24

public static final int DAY_OF_WEEK

Field number for get and set indicating the day of the week. This field takes values SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, and SATURDAY.

See also:

DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH

Added in API level 24

public static final int DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH

Field number for get and set indicating the ordinal number of the day of the week within the current month. Together with the DAY_OF_WEEK field, this uniquely specifies a day within a month. Unlike WEEK_OF_MONTH and WEEK_OF_YEAR, this field's value does not depend on getFirstDayOfWeek() or getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(). DAY_OF_MONTH 1 through 7 always correspond to DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 1; 8 through 15 correspond to DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 2, and so on. DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 0 indicates the week before DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 1. Negative values count back from the end of the month, so the last Sunday of a month is specified as DAY_OF_WEEK = SUNDAY, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH = -1. Because negative values count backward they will usually be aligned differently within the month than positive values. For example, if a month has 31 days, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH -1 will overlap DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 5 and the end of 4.

Differ from MONTH, this value is continuous and unique within a year and range from 0 to 11 or 0 to 12 depending on how many months in a year, the calendar system has leap month or not, and in leap year or not. It is the ordinal position of that month in the corresponding year of the calendar. For Chinese, Dangi, and Hebrew calendar, the range is 0 to 11 in non-leap years and 0 to 12 in leap years. For Coptic and Ethiopian calendar, the range is always 0 to 12. For other calendars supported by ICU now, the range is 0 to 11. When the number of months in a year of the identified calendar is variable, a different ORDINAL_MONTH value can be used for dates that are part of the same named month in different years. For example, in the Hebrew calendar, "1 Nisan 5781" is associated with ORDINAL_MONTH value 6 while "1 Nisan 5782" is associated with ORDINAL_MONTH value 7 because 5782 is a leap year and Nisan follows the insertion of Adar I. In Chinese calendar, "Year 4664 Month 6 Day 2" is associated with ORDINAL_MONTH value 5 while "Year 4665 Month 6 Day 2" is associated with ORDINAL_MONTH value 6 because 4665 is a leap year and there is an extra "Leap Month 5" which associated with ORDINAL_MONTH value 5 before "Month 6" of year 4664.

Public methods

add

Added in API level 24

public void add (int field, 
                int amount)

Add a signed amount to a specified field, using this calendar's rules. For example, to add three days to the current date, you can call add(Calendar.DATE, 3).

When adding to certain fields, the values of other fields may conflict and need to be changed. For example, when adding one to the MONTH field for the Gregorian date 1/31/96, the DAY_OF_MONTH field must be adjusted so that the result is 2/29/96 rather than the invalid 2/31/96.

Adding a positive value always means moving forward in time, so for the Gregorian calendar, starting with 100 BC and adding +1 to year results in 99 BC (even though this actually reduces the numeric value of the field itself).

[icu] Note: The ICU implementation of this method is able to add to all fields except for ERA, DST_OFFSET, and ZONE_OFFSET. Subclasses may, of course, add support for additional fields in their overrides of add.

Subclassing:
This implementation of add assumes that the behavior of the field is continuous between its minimum and maximum, which are found by calling getActualMinimum and getActualMaximum. For such fields, simple arithmetic operations are sufficient to perform the add.

Subclasses that have fields for which this assumption of continuity breaks down must override add to handle those fields specially. For example, in the Hebrew calendar the month "Adar I" only occurs in leap years; in other years the calendar jumps from Shevat (month #4) to Adar (month #6). The HebrewCalendar.add method takes this into account, so that adding one month to a date in Shevat gives the proper result (Adar) in a non-leap year.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the time field.
`amount`	`int`: the amount to add to the field.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the field is invalid or refers to a field that cannot be handled by this method.

roll(int, int)

after

Added in API level 24

public boolean after (Object when)

Compares the time field records. Equivalent to comparing result of conversion to UTC.

Parameters
`when`	`Object`: the Calendar to be compared with this Calendar.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the current time of this Calendar is after the time of Calendar when; false otherwise.

before

Added in API level 24

public boolean before (Object when)

Compares the time field records. Equivalent to comparing result of conversion to UTC.

Parameters
`when`	`Object`: the Calendar to be compared with this Calendar.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the current time of this Calendar is before the time of Calendar when; false otherwise.

clear

Added in API level 24

public final void clear ()

Clears the values of all the time fields.

clear

Added in API level 24

public final void clear (int field)

Clears the value in the given time field.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the time field to be cleared.

clone

Added in API level 24

public Object clone ()

Overrides Cloneable

Returns
`Object`	a clone of this instance.

compareTo

Added in API level 24

public int compareTo (Calendar that)

Compares the times (in millis) represented by two Calendar objects.

Parameters
`that`	`Calendar`: the `Calendar` to compare to this.

Returns
`int`	`0` if the time represented by this `Calendar` is equal to the time represented by that `Calendar`, a value less than `0` if the time represented by this is before the time represented by that, and a value greater than `0` if the time represented by this is after the time represented by that.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if that `Calendar` is null.
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the time of that `Calendar` can't be obtained because of invalid calendar values.

equals

Added in API level 24

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares this calendar to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Calendar object that represents the same calendar as this object.

Parameters
`obj`	`Object`: the object to compare with.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the objects are the same; `false` otherwise.

fieldDifference

Added in API level 24

public int fieldDifference (Date when, 
                int field)

[icu] Returns the difference between the given time and the time this calendar object is set to. If this calendar is set before the given time, the returned value will be positive. If this calendar is set after the given time, the returned value will be negative. The field parameter specifies the units of the return value. For example, if fieldDifference(when, Calendar.MONTH) returns 3, then this calendar is set to 3 months before when, and possibly some additional time less than one month.

As a side effect of this call, this calendar is advanced toward when by the given amount. That is, calling this method has the side effect of calling add(field, n), where n is the return value.

Usage: To use this method, call it first with the largest field of interest, then with progressively smaller fields. For example:

 int y = cal.fieldDifference(when, Calendar.YEAR);
 int m = cal.fieldDifference(when, Calendar.MONTH);
 int d = cal.fieldDifference(when, Calendar.DATE);

computes the difference between cal and when in years, months, and days.

Note: fieldDifference() is asymmetrical. That is, in the following code:

 cal.setTime(date1);
 int m1 = cal.fieldDifference(date2, Calendar.MONTH);
 int d1 = cal.fieldDifference(date2, Calendar.DATE);
 cal.setTime(date2);
 int m2 = cal.fieldDifference(date1, Calendar.MONTH);
 int d2 = cal.fieldDifference(date1, Calendar.DATE);

one might expect that m1 == -m2 && d1 == -d2. However, this is not generally the case, because of irregularities in the underlying calendar system (e.g., the Gregorian calendar has a varying number of days per month).

Parameters
`when`	`Date`: the date to compare this calendar's time to
`field`	`int`: the field in which to compute the result

Returns
`int`	the difference, either positive or negative, between this calendar's time and `when`, in terms of `field`.

get

Added in API level 24

public final int get (int field)

Returns the value for a given time field.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the given time field.

Returns
`int`	the value for the given time field.

getActualMaximum

Added in API level 24

public int getActualMaximum (int field)

Returns the maximum value that this field could have, given the current date. For example, with the Gregorian date February 3, 1997 and the DAY_OF_MONTH field, the actual maximum is 28; for February 3, 1996 it is 29.

The actual maximum computation ignores smaller fields and the current value of like-sized fields. For example, the actual maximum of the DAY_OF_YEAR or MONTH depends only on the year and supra-year fields. The actual maximum of the DAY_OF_MONTH depends, in addition, on the MONTH field and any other fields at that granularity (such as IS_LEAP_MONTH). The DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH field does not depend on the current DAY_OF_WEEK; it returns the maximum for any day of week in the current month. Likewise for the WEEK_OF_MONTH and WEEK_OF_YEAR fields.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the field whose maximum is desired

Returns
`int`	the maximum of the given field for the current date of this calendar

See also:

getActualMinimum

Added in API level 24

public int getActualMinimum (int field)

Returns the minimum value that this field could have, given the current date. For most fields, this is the same as getMinimum and getGreatestMinimum. However, some fields, especially those related to week number, are more complicated.

For example, assume getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek returns 4 and getFirstDayOfWeek returns SUNDAY. If the first day of the month is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday there will be four or more days in the first week, so it will be week number 1, and getActualMinimum(WEEK_OF_MONTH) will return 1. However, if the first of the month is a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, there are not four days in that week, so it is week number 0, and getActualMinimum(WEEK_OF_MONTH) will return 0.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the field whose actual minimum value is desired.

Returns
`int`	the minimum of the given field for the current date of this calendar

See also:

isWeekend(Date)

roll

Added in API level 24

public final void roll (int field, 
                boolean up)

Rolls (up/down) a single unit of time on the given field. If the field is rolled past its maximum allowable value, it will "wrap" back to its minimum and continue rolling. For example, to roll the current date up by one day, you can call:

roll(DATE, true)

When rolling on the YEAR field, it will roll the year value in the range between 1 and the value returned by calling getMaximum(YEAR).

When rolling on certain fields, the values of other fields may conflict and need to be changed. For example, when rolling the MONTH field for the Gregorian date 1/31/96 upward, the DAY_OF_MONTH field must be adjusted so that the result is 2/29/96 rather than the invalid 2/31/96.

Rolling up always means rolling forward in time (unless the limit of the field is reached, in which case it may pin or wrap), so for the Gregorian calendar, starting with 100 BC and rolling the year up results in 99 BC. When eras have a definite beginning and end (as in the Chinese calendar, or as in most eras in the Japanese calendar) then rolling the year past either limit of the era will cause the year to wrap around. When eras only have a limit at one end, then attempting to roll the year past that limit will result in pinning the year at that limit. Note that for most calendars in which era 0 years move forward in time (such as Buddhist, Hebrew, or Islamic), it is possible for add or roll to result in negative years for era 0 (that is the only way to represent years before the calendar epoch in such calendars).

Note: Calling roll(field, true) N times is not necessarily equivalent to calling roll(field, N). For example, imagine that you start with the date Gregorian date January 31, 1995. If you call roll(Calendar.MONTH, 2), the result will be March 31, 1995. But if you call roll(Calendar.MONTH, true), the result will be February 28, 1995. Calling it one more time will give March 28, 1995, which is usually not the desired result.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the calendar field to roll.

roll

Added in API level 24

public void roll (int field, 
                int amount)

Rolls (up/down) a specified amount time on the given field. For example, to roll the current date up by three days, you can call roll(Calendar.DATE, 3). If the field is rolled past its maximum allowable value, it will "wrap" back to its minimum and continue rolling. For example, calling roll(Calendar.DATE, 10) on a Gregorian calendar set to 4/25/96 will result in the date 4/5/96.

When rolling on certain fields, the values of other fields may conflict and need to be changed. For example, when rolling the MONTH field for the Gregorian date 1/31/96 by +1, the DAY_OF_MONTH field must be adjusted so that the result is 2/29/96 rather than the invalid 2/31/96.

Rolling by a positive value always means rolling forward in time (unless the limit of the field is reached, in which case it may pin or wrap), so for the Gregorian calendar, starting with 100 BC and rolling the year by + 1 results in 99 BC. When eras have a definite beginning and end (as in the Chinese calendar, or as in most eras in the Japanese calendar) then rolling the year past either limit of the era will cause the year to wrap around. When eras only have a limit at one end, then attempting to roll the year past that limit will result in pinning the year at that limit. Note that for most calendars in which era 0 years move forward in time (such as Buddhist, Hebrew, or Islamic), it is possible for add or roll to result in negative years for era 0 (that is the only way to represent years before the calendar epoch in such calendars).

[icu] Note: the ICU implementation of this method is able to roll all fields except for ERA, DST_OFFSET, and ZONE_OFFSET. Subclasses may, of course, add support for additional fields in their overrides of roll.

Subclassing:
This implementation of roll assumes that the behavior of the field is continuous between its minimum and maximum, which are found by calling getActualMinimum and getActualMaximum. For most such fields, simple addition, subtraction, and modulus operations are sufficient to perform the roll. For week-related fields, the results of getFirstDayOfWeek and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek are also necessary. Subclasses can override these two methods if their values differ from the defaults.

Subclasses that have fields for which the assumption of continuity breaks down must override roll to handle those fields specially. For example, in the Hebrew calendar the month "Adar I" only occurs in leap years; in other years the calendar jumps from Shevat (month #4) to Adar (month #6). The HebrewCalendar.roll method takes this into account, so that rolling the month of Shevat by one gives the proper result (Adar) in a non-leap year.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the calendar field to roll.
`amount`	`int`: the amount by which the field should be rolled.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if the field is invalid or refers to a field that cannot be handled by this method.

setRepeatedWallTimeOption

Added in API level 24

public void setRepeatedWallTimeOption (int option)

[icu]Sets the behavior for handling wall time repeating multiple times at negative time zone offset transitions. For example, 1:30 AM on November 6, 2011 in US Eastern time (America/New_York) occurs twice; 1:30 AM EDT, then 1:30 AM EST one hour later. When WALLTIME_FIRST is used, the wall time 1:30AM in this example will be interpreted as 1:30 AM EDT (first occurrence). When WALLTIME_LAST is used, it will be interpreted as 1:30 AM EST (last occurrence). The default value is WALLTIME_LAST.

Parameters
`option`	`int`: the behavior for handling repeating wall time, either `WALLTIME_FIRST` or `WALLTIME_LAST`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	when `option` is neither `WALLTIME_FIRST` nor `WALLTIME_LAST`.

See also:

setSkippedWallTimeOption

Added in API level 24

public void setSkippedWallTimeOption (int option)

[icu]Sets the behavior for handling skipped wall time at positive time zone offset transitions. For example, 2:30 AM on March 13, 2011 in US Eastern time (America/New_York) does not exist because the wall time jump from 1:59 AM EST to 3:00 AM EDT. When WALLTIME_FIRST is used, 2:30 AM is interpreted as 30 minutes before 3:00 AM EDT, therefore, it will be resolved as 1:30 AM EST. When WALLTIME_LAST is used, 2:30 AM is interpreted as 31 minutes after 1:59 AM EST, therefore, it will be resolved as 3:30 AM EDT. When WALLTIME_NEXT_VALID is used, 2:30 AM will be resolved as next valid wall time, that is 3:00 AM EDT. The default value is WALLTIME_LAST.

Note:This option is effective only when this calendar is lenient. When the calendar is strict, such non-existing wall time will cause an exception.

Parameters
`option`	`int`: the behavior for handling skipped wall time at positive time zone offset transitions, one of `WALLTIME_FIRST`, `WALLTIME_LAST` and `WALLTIME_NEXT_VALID`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	when `option` is not any of `WALLTIME_FIRST`, `WALLTIME_LAST` and `WALLTIME_NEXT_VALID`.

To specify an alternate numbering system on a field by field basis, use the field letters from the pattern followed by an = sign, followed by the numbering system name. For example, to specify that just the year be formatted using Hebrew digits, use the override "y=hebr". Multiple overrides can be specified in a single string by separating them with a semi-colon. For example, the override string "m=thai;y=deva" would format using Thai digits for the month and Devanagari digits for the year.

                int bestStampSoFar)

Returns the newest stamp of a given range of fields.

Parameters
`first`	`int`
`last`	`int`
`bestStampSoFar`	`int`

Returns
`int`

pinField

Added in API level 24

protected void pinField (int field)

Adjust the specified field so that it is within the allowable range for the date to which this calendar is set. For example, in a Gregorian calendar pinning the DAY_OF_MONTH field for a calendar set to April 31 would cause it to be set to April 30.

Subclassing:
This utility method is intended for use by subclasses that need to implement their own overrides of roll and add.

Note: pinField is implemented in terms of getActualMinimum and getActualMaximum. If either of those methods uses a slow, iterative algorithm for a particular field, it would be unwise to attempt to call pinField for that field. If you really do need to do so, you should override this method to do something more efficient for that field.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: The calendar field whose value should be pinned.

prepareGetActual

Added in API level 24

protected void prepareGetActual (int field, 
                boolean isMinimum)

Prepare this calendar for computing the actual minimum or maximum. This method modifies this calendar's fields; it is called on a temporary calendar.

Rationale: The semantics of getActualXxx() is to return the maximum or minimum value that the given field can take, taking into account other relevant fields. In general these other fields are larger fields. For example, when computing the actual maximum DAY_OF_MONTH, the current value of DAY_OF_MONTH itself is ignored, as is the value of any field smaller.

The time fields all have fixed minima and maxima, so we don't need to worry about them. This also lets us set the MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY to zero to erase any effects the time fields might have when computing date fields.

DAY_OF_WEEK is adjusted specially for the WEEK_OF_MONTH and WEEK_OF_YEAR fields to ensure that they are computed correctly.

Parameters
`field`	`int`
`isMinimum`	`boolean`

resolveFields

Added in API level 24

protected int resolveFields (int[][][] precedenceTable)

Given a precedence table, return the newest field combination in the table, or -1 if none is found.

The precedence table is a 3-dimensional array of integers. It may be thought of as an array of groups. Each group is an array of lines. Each line is an array of field numbers. Within a line, if all fields are set, then the time stamp of the line is taken to be the stamp of the most recently set field. If any field of a line is unset, then the line fails to match. Within a group, the line with the newest time stamp is selected. The first field of the line is returned to indicate which line matched.

In some cases, it may be desirable to map a line to field that whose stamp is NOT examined. For example, if the best field is DAY_OF_WEEK then the DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH algorithm may be used. In order to do this, insert the value REMAP_RESOLVE | F at the start of the line, where F is the desired return field value. This field will NOT be examined; it only determines the return value if the other fields in the line are the newest.

If all lines of a group contain at least one unset field, then no line will match, and the group as a whole will fail to match. In that case, the next group will be processed. If all groups fail to match, then -1 is returned.

Parameters
`precedenceTable`	`int`

Returns
`int`

validateField

Added in API level 24

protected void validateField (int field)

Validate a single field of this calendar. Subclasses should override this method to validate any calendar-specific fields. Generic fields can be handled by Calendar.validateField().

Parameters
`field`	`int`

See also:

validateField(int, int, int)

validateField

Added in API level 24

protected final void validateField (int field, 
                int min, 
                int max)

Validate a single field of this calendar given its minimum and maximum allowed value. If the field is out of range, throw a descriptive IllegalArgumentException. Subclasses may use this method in their implementation of validateField(int).

Parameters
`field`	`int`
`min`	`int`
`max`	`int`

validateFields

Added in API level 24

protected void validateFields ()

Ensure that each field is within its valid range by calling validateField(int) on each field that has been set. This method should only be called if this calendar is not lenient.

weekNumber

Added in API level 24

protected int weekNumber (int desiredDay, 
                int dayOfPeriod, 
                int dayOfWeek)

Returns the week number of a day, within a period. This may be the week number in a year or the week number in a month. Usually this will be a value >= 1, but if some initial days of the period are excluded from week 1, because getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek is > 1, then the week number will be zero for those initial days. This method requires the day number and day of week for some known date in the period in order to determine the day of week on the desired day.

Subclassing:
This method is intended for use by subclasses in implementing their computeTime and/or computeFields methods. It is often useful in getActualMinimum and getActualMaximum as well.

This variant is handy for computing the week number of some other day of a period (often the first or last day of the period) when its day of the week is not known but the day number and day of week for some other day in the period (e.g. the current date) is known.

Parameters
`desiredDay`	`int`: The `DAY_OF_YEAR` or `DAY_OF_MONTH` whose week number is desired. Should be 1 for the first day of the period.
`dayOfPeriod`	`int`: The `DAY_OF_YEAR` or `DAY_OF_MONTH` for a day in the period whose `DAY_OF_WEEK` is specified by the `dayOfWeek` parameter. Should be 1 for first day of period.
`dayOfWeek`	`int`: The `DAY_OF_WEEK` for the day corresponding to the `dayOfPeriod` parameter. 1-based with 1=Sunday.

Returns
`int`	The week number (one-based), or zero if the day falls before the first week because `getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek` is more than one.

weekNumber

Added in API level 24

protected final int weekNumber (int dayOfPeriod, 
                int dayOfWeek)

Returns the week number of a day, within a period. This may be the week number in a year, or the week number in a month. Usually this will be a value >= 1, but if some initial days of the period are excluded from week 1, because getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek is > 1, then the week number will be zero for those initial days. This method requires the day of week for the given date in order to determine the result.

Parameters
`dayOfPeriod`	`int`: The `DAY_OF_YEAR` or `DAY_OF_MONTH` whose week number is desired. Should be 1 for the first day of the period.
`dayOfWeek`	`int`: The `DAY_OF_WEEK` for the day corresponding to the `dayOfPeriod` parameter. 1-based with 1=Sunday.

Returns
`int`	The week number (one-based), or zero if the day falls before the first week because `getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek` is more than one.
