public class SimpleTimeZone
extends BasicTimeZone

.

SimpleTimeZone is a concrete subclass of TimeZone that represents a time zone for use with a Gregorian calendar. This class does not handle historical changes.

Use a negative value for dayOfWeekInMonth to indicate that SimpleTimeZone should count from the end of the month backwards. For example, if Daylight Savings Time starts or ends at the last Sunday in a month, use dayOfWeekInMonth = -1 along with dayOfWeek = Calendar.SUNDAY to specify the rule.

Constructor Detail

SimpleTimeZone

public SimpleTimeZone(int rawOffset,
                      String ID)

Constructs a SimpleTimeZone with the given base time zone offset from GMT and time zone ID. Timezone IDs can be obtained from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs. Normally you should use TimeZone.getDefault to construct a TimeZone.

Parameters:

rawOffset - The given base time zone offset to GMT.

ID - The time zone ID which is obtained from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs.

SimpleTimeZone

public SimpleTimeZone(int rawOffset,
                      String ID,
                      int startMonth,
                      int startDay,
                      int startDayOfWeek,
                      int startTime,
                      int endMonth,
                      int endDay,
                      int endDayOfWeek,
                      int endTime)

Constructs a SimpleTimeZone with the given base time zone offset from GMT, time zone ID, time to start and end the daylight time. Timezone IDs can be obtained from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs. Normally you should use TimeZone.getDefault to create a TimeZone. For a time zone that does not use daylight saving time, do not use this constructor; instead you should use SimpleTimeZone(rawOffset, ID). By default, this constructor specifies day-of-week-in-month rules. That is, if the startDay is 1, and the startDayOfWeek is SUNDAY, then this indicates the first Sunday in the startMonth. A startDay of -1 likewise indicates the last Sunday. However, by using negative or zero values for certain parameters, other types of rules can be specified. Day of month. To specify an exact day of the month, such as March 1, set startDayOfWeek to zero. Day of week after day of month. To specify the first day of the week occurring on or after an exact day of the month, make the day of the week negative. For example, if startDay is 5 and startDayOfWeek is -MONDAY, this indicates the first Monday on or after the 5th day of the startMonth. Day of week before day of month. To specify the last day of the week occurring on or before an exact day of the month, make the day of the week and the day of the month negative. For example, if startDay is -21 and startDayOfWeek is -WEDNESDAY, this indicates the last Wednesday on or before the 21st of the startMonth. The above examples refer to the startMonth, startDay, and startDayOfWeek; the same applies for the endMonth, endDay, and endDayOfWeek.

Parameters:

rawOffset - The given base time zone offset to GMT.

ID - The time zone ID which is obtained from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs.

startMonth - The daylight savings starting month. Month is 0-based. eg, 0 for January.

startDay - The daylight savings starting day-of-week-in-month. Please see the member description for an example.

startDayOfWeek - The daylight savings starting day-of-week. Please see the member description for an example.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - the month, day, dayOfWeek, or time parameters are out of range for the start or end rule

                                           int[] offsets)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Returns time zone offsets from local wall time.

Overrides:

getOffsetFromLocal in class BasicTimeZone

useDaylightTime

public boolean useDaylightTime()

Overrides TimeZone Queries if this time zone uses Daylight Saving Time.

Specified by:

useDaylightTime in class TimeZone

Returns:

true if this time zone uses daylight savings time, false, otherwise.

Note:The default implementation of ICU TimeZone uses the tz database, which supports historic rule changes, for system time zones. With the implementation, there are time zones that used daylight savings time in the past, but no longer used currently. For example, Asia/Tokyo has never used daylight savings time since 1951. Most clients would expect that this method to return false for such case. The default implementation of this method returns true when the time zone uses daylight savings time in the current (Gregorian) calendar year.

observesDaylightTime

public boolean observesDaylightTime()

Queries if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.

The default implementation in this class returns true if TimeZone.useDaylightTime() or inDaylightTime(new Date()) returns true.

Note: This method was added for JDK compatibility support. The JDK's useDaylightTime() only checks the last known rule(s), therefore it may return false even the zone observes daylight saving time currently. JDK added observesDaylightTime() to resolve the issue. In ICU, TimeZone.useDaylightTime() works differently. The ICU implementation checks if the zone uses daylight saving time in the current calendar year. Therefore, it will never return false if daylight saving time is currently used.

ICU's TimeZone subclass implementations override this method to support the same behavior with JDK's observesDaylightSavingTime(). Unlike TimeZone.useDaylightTime(), the implementation does not take past daylight saving time into account, so that this method may return false even when TimeZone.useDaylightTime() returns true.

Overrides:

observesDaylightTime in class TimeZone

Returns:

true if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.

See Also:

TimeZone.useDaylightTime()

inDaylightTime

public boolean inDaylightTime(Date date)

Overrides TimeZone Queries if the give date is in Daylight Saving Time.

Specified by:

inDaylightTime in class TimeZone

Parameters:

date - the given Date.

Returns:

true if the given date is in daylight savings time, false, otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides equals.

Overrides:

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare this instance with.

Returns:

true if obj is a SimpleTimeZone equivalent to this

See Also:
