Class IsoChronology

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Chronology>

    public final class IsoChronology
    extends Chronology
    implements Serializable
    The ISO calendar system.

    This chronology defines the rules of the ISO calendar system. This calendar system is based on the ISO-8601 standard, which is the de facto world calendar.

    The fields are defined as follows:

    • era - There are two eras, 'Current Era' (CE) and 'Before Current Era' (BCE).
    • year-of-era - The year-of-era is the same as the proleptic-year for the current CE era. For the BCE era before the ISO epoch the year increases from 1 upwards as time goes backwards.
    • proleptic-year - The proleptic year is the same as the year-of-era for the current era. For the previous era, years have zero, then negative values.
    • month-of-year - There are 12 months in an ISO year, numbered from 1 to 12.
    • day-of-month - There are between 28 and 31 days in each of the ISO month, numbered from 1 to 31. Months 4, 6, 9 and 11 have 30 days, Months 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12 have 31 days. Month 2 has 28 days, or 29 in a leap year.
    • day-of-year - There are 365 days in a standard ISO year and 366 in a leap year. The days are numbered from 1 to 365 or 1 to 366.
    • leap-year - Leap years occur every 4 years, except where the year is divisble by 100 and not divisble by 400.

      • getCalendarType

        public String getCalendarType()
        Gets the calendar type of the underlying calendar system - 'iso8601'.

        The calendar type is an identifier defined by the Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) specification. It can be used to lookup the Chronology using Chronology.of(String). It can also be used as part of a locale, accessible via Locale#getUnicodeLocaleType(String) with the key 'ca'.

        Specified by:
        getCalendarType in class Chronology
        Returns:
        the calendar system type - 'iso8601'

      • dateEpochDay

        public LocalDate dateEpochDay​(long epochDay)
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Obtains a local date in this chronology from the epoch-day.

        The definition of EPOCH_DAY is the same for all calendar systems, thus it can be used for conversion.

        Specified by:
        dateEpochDay in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        epochDay - the epoch day
        Returns:
        the local date in this chronology, not null
      • dateNow

        public LocalDate dateNow()
        Obtains the current ISO local date from the system clock in the default time-zone.

        This will query the system clock in the default time-zone to obtain the current date.

        Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

        Overrides:
        dateNow in class Chronology
        Returns:
        the current ISO local date using the system clock and default time-zone, not null
        Throws:
        DateTimeException - if unable to create the date
      • dateNow

        public LocalDate dateNow​(ZoneId zone)
        Obtains the current ISO local date from the system clock in the specified time-zone.

        This will query the system clock to obtain the current date. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.

        Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

        Overrides:
        dateNow in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        zone - the zone ID to use, not null
        Returns:
        the current ISO local date using the system clock, not null
        Throws:
        DateTimeException - if unable to create the date
      • dateNow

        public LocalDate dateNow​(Clock clock)
        Obtains the current ISO local date from the specified clock.

        This will query the specified clock to obtain the current date - today. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using dependency injection.

        Overrides:
        dateNow in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        clock - the clock to use, not null
        Returns:
        the current ISO local date, not null
        Throws:
        DateTimeException - if unable to create the date
      • isLeapYear

        public boolean isLeapYear​(long prolepticYear)
        Checks if the year is a leap year, according to the ISO proleptic calendar system rules.

        This method applies the current rules for leap years across the whole time-line. In general, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four without remainder. However, years divisible by 100, are not leap years, with the exception of years divisible by 400 which are.

        For example, 1904 is a leap year it is divisible by 4. 1900 was not a leap year as it is divisible by 100, however 2000 was a leap year as it is divisible by 400.

        The calculation is proleptic - applying the same rules into the far future and far past. This is historically inaccurate, but is correct for the ISO-8601 standard.

        Specified by:
        isLeapYear in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        prolepticYear - the ISO proleptic year to check
        Returns:
        true if the year is leap, false otherwise
      • prolepticYear

        public int prolepticYear​(Era era,
                                 int yearOfEra)
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Calculates the proleptic-year given the era and year-of-era.

        This combines the era and year-of-era into the single proleptic-year field.

        Specified by:
        prolepticYear in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        era - the era of the correct type for the chronology, not null
        yearOfEra - the chronology year-of-era
        Returns:
        the proleptic-year
      • eraOf

        public IsoEra eraOf​(int eraValue)
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Creates the chronology era object from the numeric value.

        The era is, conceptually, the largest division of the time-line. Most calendar systems have a single epoch dividing the time-line into two eras. However, some have multiple eras, such as one for the reign of each leader. The exact meaning is determined by the chronology according to the following constraints.

        The era in use at 1970-01-01 must have the value 1. Later eras must have sequentially higher values. Earlier eras must have sequentially lower values. Each chronology must refer to an enum or similar singleton to provide the era values.

        This method returns the singleton era of the correct type for the specified era value.

        Specified by:
        eraOf in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        eraValue - the era value
        Returns:
        the calendar system era, not null
      • eras

        public List<Era> eras()
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Gets the list of eras for the chronology.

        Most calendar systems have an era, within which the year has meaning. If the calendar system does not support the concept of eras, an empty list must be returned.

        Specified by:
        eras in class Chronology
        Returns:
        the list of eras for the chronology, may be immutable, not null
      • range

        public ValueRange range​(ChronoField field)
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

        All fields can be expressed as a long integer. This method returns an object that describes the valid range for that value.

        Note that the result only describes the minimum and maximum valid values and it is important not to read too much into them. For example, there could be values within the range that are invalid for the field.

        This method will return a result whether or not the chronology supports the field.

        Specified by:
        range in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        field - the field to get the range for, not null
        Returns:
        the range of valid values for the field, not null
      • resolveDate

        public LocalDate resolveDate​(Map<TemporalField,​Long> fieldValues,
                                     ResolverStyle resolverStyle)
        Description copied from class: Chronology
        Resolves parsed ChronoField values into a date during parsing.

        Most TemporalField implementations are resolved using the resolve method on the field. By contrast, the ChronoField class defines fields that only have meaning relative to the chronology. As such, ChronoField date fields are resolved here in the context of a specific chronology.

        The default implementation, which explains typical resolve behaviour, is provided in AbstractChronology.

        Specified by:
        resolveDate in class Chronology
        Parameters:
        fieldValues - the map of fields to values, which can be updated, not null
        resolverStyle - the requested type of resolve, not null
        Returns:
        the resolved date, null if insufficient information to create a date
