public abstract class Calendar extends Object implements Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable<Calendar>
TheCalendarclass is an abstract class that provides methods for converting between a specific instant in time and a set ofcalendar fieldssuch asYEAR,MONTH,DAY_OF_MONTH,HOUR, and so on, and for manipulating the calendar fields, such as getting the date of the next week. An instant in time can be represented by a millisecond value that is an offset from the Epoch, January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT (Gregorian).The class also provides additional fields and methods for implementing a concrete calendar system outside the package. Those fields and methods are defined as
protected.Like other locale-sensitive classes,
Calendarprovides a class method,getInstance, for getting a generally useful object of this type.Calendar'sgetInstancemethod returns aCalendarobject whose calendar fields have been initialized with the current date and time:Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();A
Calendarobject can produce all the calendar field values needed to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language and calendar style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional).Calendardefines the range of values returned by certain calendar fields, as well as their meaning. For example, the first month of the calendar system has valueMONTH == JANUARYfor all calendars. Other values are defined by the concrete subclass, such asERA. See individual field documentation and subclass documentation for details.Getting and Setting Calendar Field Values
The calendar field values can be set by calling the
setmethods. Any field values set in aCalendarwill not be interpreted until it needs to calculate its time value (milliseconds from the Epoch) or values of the calendar fields. Calling theget,getTimeInMillis,getTime,addandrollinvolves such calculation.Leniency
Calendarhas two modes for interpreting the calendar fields, lenient and non-lenient. When aCalendaris in lenient mode, it accepts a wider range of calendar field values than it produces. When aCalendarrecomputes calendar field values for return byget(), all of the calendar fields are normalized. For example, a lenientGregorianCalendarinterpretsMONTH == JANUARY,DAY_OF_MONTH == 32as February 1.When a
Calendaris in non-lenient mode, it throws an exception if there is any inconsistency in its calendar fields. For example, aGregorianCalendaralways producesDAY_OF_MONTHvalues between 1 and the length of the month. A non-lenientGregorianCalendarthrows an exception upon calculating its time or calendar field values if any out-of-range field value has been set.First Week
Calendardefines 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 or the locale itself when aCalendaris constructed. If the designated locale contains "fw" and/or "rg" Unicode extensions, the first day of the week will be obtained according to those extensions. If both "fw" and "rg" are specified, the value from the "fw" extension supersedes the implicit one from the "rg" extension. They may also be specified explicitly through the methods for setting their values.When setting or getting the
WEEK_OF_MONTHorWEEK_OF_YEARfields,Calendarmust 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 ongetFirstDayOfWeek()and containing at leastgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()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 byget()may be different. For example, a specificCalendarsubclass may designate the week before week 1 of a year as weeknof the previous year.Calendar Fields Resolution
When computing a date and time from the calendar fields, there may be insufficient information for the computation (such as only year and month with no day of month), or there may be inconsistent information (such as Tuesday, July 15, 1996 (Gregorian) -- July 15, 1996 is actually a Monday).Calendarwill resolve calendar field values to determine the date and time in the following way.If there is any conflict in calendar field values,
Calendargives priorities to calendar fields that have been set more recently. The following are the default combinations of the calendar fields. The most recent combination, as determined by the most recently set single field, will be used.
For the time of day fields:YEAR + MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH YEAR + MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK YEAR + MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK YEAR + DAY_OF_YEAR YEAR + DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR
HOUR_OF_DAY AM_PM + HOUR
If there are any calendar fields whose values haven't been set in the selected field combination,
Calendaruses their default values. The default value of each field may vary by concrete calendar systems. For example, inGregorianCalendar, the default of a field is the same as that of the start of the Epoch: i.e.,YEAR = 1970,MONTH = JANUARY,DAY_OF_MONTH = 1, etc.Note: There are certain possible ambiguities in interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the following ways:
- 23:59 is the last minute of the day and 00:00 is the first minute of the next day. Thus, 23:59 on Dec 31, 1999 < 00:00 on Jan 1, 2000 < 00:01 on Jan 1, 2000.
- 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
DateFormatto format dates.Field Manipulation
The calendar fields can be changed using three methods:set(),add(), androll().set(f, value)changes calendar fieldftovalue. In addition, it sets an internal member variable to indicate that calendar fieldfhas been changed. Although calendar fieldfis changed immediately, the calendar's time value in milliseconds is not recomputed until the next call toget(),getTime(),getTimeInMillis(),add(), orroll()is made. Thus, multiple calls toset()do not trigger multiple, unnecessary computations. As a result of changing a calendar field usingset(), other calendar fields may also change, depending on the calendar field, the calendar field value, and the calendar system. In addition,get(f)will not necessarily returnvalueset by the call to thesetmethod after the calendar fields have been recomputed. The specifics are determined by the concrete calendar class.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendaroriginally set to August 31, 1999. Callingset(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.SEPTEMBER)sets the date to September 31, 1999. This is a temporary internal representation that resolves to October 1, 1999 ifgetTime()is then called. However, a call toset(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 30)before the call togetTime()sets the date to September 30, 1999, since no recomputation occurs afterset()itself.add(f, delta)addsdeltato fieldf. This is equivalent to callingset(f, get(f) + delta)with two adjustments:Add rule 1. The value of field
fafter the call minus the value of fieldfbefore the call isdelta, modulo any overflow that has occurred in fieldf. 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
fis changed or other constraints, such as time zone offset changes, then its value is adjusted to be as close as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a smaller unit of time.HOURis a smaller field thanDAY_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
GregorianCalendaroriginally set to August 31, 1999. Callingadd(Calendar.MONTH, 13)sets the calendar to September 30, 2000. Add rule 1 sets theMONTHfield to September, since adding 13 months to August gives September of the next year. SinceDAY_OF_MONTHcannot be 31 in September in aGregorianCalendar, add rule 2 sets theDAY_OF_MONTHto 30, the closest possible value. Although it is a smaller field,DAY_OF_WEEKis not adjusted by rule 2, since it is expected to change when the month changes in aGregorianCalendar.roll(f, delta)addsdeltato fieldfwithout changing larger fields. This is equivalent to callingadd(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_MONTHis a larger field thanHOUR.Example: See
GregorianCalendar.roll(int, int).Usage model. To motivate the behavior of
add()androll(), consider a user interface component with increment and decrement buttons for the month, day, and year, and an underlyingGregorianCalendar. If the interface reads January 31, 1999 and the user presses the month increment button, what should it read? If the underlying implementation usesset(), 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 original date and using eitheradd()orroll(), depending on whether larger fields should be affected, the user interface can behave as most users will intuitively expect.- Since:

DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH
public static final int DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH
Field number forgetandsetindicating the ordinal number of the day of the week within the current month. Together with theDAY_OF_WEEKfield, this uniquely specifies a day within a month. UnlikeWEEK_OF_MONTHandWEEK_OF_YEAR, this field's value does not depend ongetFirstDayOfWeek()orgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek().DAY_OF_MONTH 1through7always correspond toDAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 1;8through14correspond toDAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 2, and so on.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 0indicates the week beforeDAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 1. Negative values count back from the end of the month, so the last Sunday of a month is specified asDAY_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 -1will overlapDAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 5and the end of4.- See Also:

clear
public final void clear()
Sets all the calendar field values and the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch) of thisCalendarundefined. This means thatisSet()will returnfalsefor all the calendar fields, and the date and time calculations will treat the fields as if they had never been set. ACalendarimplementation class may use its specific default field values for date/time calculations. For example,GregorianCalendaruses 1970 if theYEARfield value is undefined.- See Also:
clear(int)
-
clear
public final void clear(int field)
Sets the given calendar field value and the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch) of thisCalendarundefined. This means thatisSet(field)will returnfalse, and the date and time calculations will treat the field as if it had never been set. ACalendarimplementation class may use the field's specific default value for date and time calculations.The
HOUR_OF_DAY,HOURandAM_PMfields are handled independently and the the resolution rule for the time of day is applied. Clearing one of the fields doesn't reset the hour of day value of thisCalendar. Useset(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0)to reset the hour value.- Parameters:
field- the calendar field to be cleared.- See Also:
clear()
-
isSet
public final boolean isSet(int field)
Determines if the given calendar field has a value set, including cases that the value has been set by internal fields calculations triggered by agetmethod call.- Parameters:

-
getDisplayName
public String getDisplayName(int field, int style, Locale locale)
Returns the string representation of the calendarfieldvalue in the givenstyleandlocale. If no string representation is applicable,nullis returned. This method callsget(field)to get the calendarfieldvalue if the string representation is applicable to the given calendarfield.For example, if this
Calendaris aGregorianCalendarand its date is 2005-01-01, then the string representation of theMONTHfield would be "January" in the long style in an English locale or "Jan" in the short style. However, no string representation would be available for theDAY_OF_MONTHfield, and this method would returnnull.The default implementation supports the calendar fields for which a
DateFormatSymbolshas names in the givenlocale.- Parameters:
field- the calendar field for which the string representation is returnedstyle- the style applied to the string representation; one ofSHORT_FORMAT(SHORT),SHORT_STANDALONE,LONG_FORMAT(LONG),LONG_STANDALONE,NARROW_FORMAT, orNARROW_STANDALONE.locale- the locale for the string representation (any calendar types specified bylocaleare ignored)- Returns:
- the string representation of the given
fieldin the givenstyle, ornullif no string representation is applicable. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- iffieldorstyleis invalid, or if thisCalendaris non-lenient and any of the calendar fields have invalid valuesNullPointerException- iflocaleis null- Since:
- 1.6
-
getDisplayNames
public Map<String,Integer> getDisplayNames(int field, int style, Locale locale)
Returns aMapcontaining all names of the calendarfieldin the givenstyleandlocaleand their corresponding field values. For example, if thisCalendaris aGregorianCalendar, the returned map would contain "Jan" toJANUARY, "Feb" toFEBRUARY, and so on, in the short style in an English locale.Narrow names may not be unique due to use of single characters, such as "S" for Sunday and Saturday. In that case narrow names are not included in the returned
Map.The values of other calendar fields may be taken into account to determine a set of display names. For example, if this
Calendaris a lunisolar calendar system and the year value given by theYEARfield has a leap month, this method would return month names containing the leap month name, and month names are mapped to their values specific for the year.The default implementation supports display names contained in a
DateFormatSymbols. For example, iffieldisMONTHandstyleisALL_STYLES, this method returns aMapcontaining all strings returned byDateFormatSymbols.getShortMonths()andDateFormatSymbols.getMonths().- Parameters:
field- the calendar field for which the display names are returnedstyle- the style applied to the string representation; one ofSHORT_FORMAT(SHORT),SHORT_STANDALONE,LONG_FORMAT(LONG),LONG_STANDALONE,NARROW_FORMAT, orNARROW_STANDALONElocale- the locale for the display names- Returns:
- a
Mapcontaining all display names instyleandlocaleand their field values, ornullif no display names are defined forfield - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- iffieldorstyleis invalid, or if thisCalendaris non-lenient and any of the calendar fields have invalid valuesNullPointerException- iflocaleis null- Since:
- 1.6
-
complete
protected void complete()
Fills in any unset fields in the calendar fields. First, thecomputeTime()method is called if the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch) has not been calculated from calendar field values. Then, thecomputeFields()method is called to calculate all calendar field values.
-
getAvailableCalendarTypes

add
public abstract void add(int field, int amount)Adds or subtracts the specified amount of time to the given calendar field, based on the calendar's rules. For example, to subtract 5 days from the current time of the calendar, you can achieve it by calling:add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -5).- Parameters:
field- the calendar field.amount- the amount of date or time to be added to the field.- See Also:
roll(int,int),set(int,int)
-
roll
public abstract void roll(int field, boolean up)Adds or subtracts (up/down) a single unit of time on the given time field without changing larger fields. For example, to roll the current date up by one day, you can achieve it by calling:roll(Calendar.DATE, true). When rolling on the year or Calendar.YEAR field, it will roll the year value in the range between 1 and the value returned by calling
getMaximum(Calendar.YEAR). When rolling on the month or Calendar.MONTH field, other fields like date might conflict and, need to be changed. For instance, rolling the month on the date 01/31/96 will result in 02/29/96. When rolling on the hour-in-day or Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY field, it will roll the hour value in the range between 0 and 23, which is zero-based.- Parameters:
field- the time field.up- indicates if the value of the specified time field is to be rolled up or rolled down. Use true if rolling up, false otherwise.- See Also:
add(int,int),set(int,int)
-
roll
public void roll(int field, int amount)Adds the specified (signed) amount to the specified calendar field without changing larger fields. A negative amount means to roll down.NOTE: This default implementation on
Calendarjust repeatedly calls the version ofroll()that rolls by one unit. This may not always do the right thing. For example, if theDAY_OF_MONTHfield is 31, rolling through February will leave it set to 28. TheGregorianCalendarversion of this function takes care of this problem. Other subclasses should also provide overrides of this function that do the right thing.- Parameters:
field- the calendar field.amount- the signed amount to add to the calendarfield.- Since:
- 1.2
- See Also:
roll(int,boolean),add(int,int),set(int,int)
