Constructor Detail

Day

public Day()

Constructs a Day, based on the system date/time.

Day

public Day(int day,
           int month,
           int year)

Constructs a new one day time period.

Parameters:

day - The day-of-the-month.

month - The month (1 to 12).

year - The year (1900 <= year <= 9999).

Day

public Day(SerialDate serialDate)

Constructs a new one day time period.

Parameters:

day - The day.

Day

public Day(java.util.Date time)

Constructs a new Day, based on a particular date/time and the default time zone.

Parameters:

time - The time.

Day

public Day(java.util.Date time,
           java.util.TimeZone zone)

Constructs a Day, based on a particular date/time and time zone.

Parameters:

time - The date/time.

zone - The time zone.

Method Detail

getSerialDate

public SerialDate getSerialDate()

Returns the day as a SerialDate.

Implementation note: the reference that is returned should be an instance of an immutable SerialDate (otherwise the caller could use the reference to alter the state of this Day instance, and Day is supposed to be immutable).

Returns:

The day as a SerialDate.

getYear

public int getYear()

Returns the year.

getMonth

public int getMonth()

Returns the month.

getDayOfMonth

public int getDayOfMonth()

Returns the day of the month.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Tests the equality of this Day object to an arbitrary object. Returns true if the target is a Day instance or a SerialDate instance representing the same day as this object. In all other cases, returns false.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

object - The object.

Returns:

A flag indicating whether or not an object is equal to this day.

previous

public TimePeriod previous()

Returns the day preceding this one.

Specified by:

previous in class TimePeriod

Returns:

The day preceding this one.

next

public TimePeriod next()

Returns the day following this one, or null if some limit has been reached.

Specified by:

next in class TimePeriod

Returns:

The next time period.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o1)

Returns an integer indicating the order of this Day object relative to the specified object: negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representing the day.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A string representing the day.

parseDay

public static Day parseDay(java.lang.String s)

Parses the string argument as a day.

This method is required to recognise YYYY-MM-DD as a valid format. Anything else, for now, is a bonus.

getStart

public long getStart(java.util.Calendar calendar)

Returns the first millisecond of the day, evaluated using the supplied calendar (which determines the time zone).

Specified by:

getStart in class TimePeriod

Parameters:

calendar - The calendar.

Returns:

The first millisecond of the time period.

getEnd

public long getEnd(java.util.Calendar calendar)

Returns the last millisecond of the day, evaluated using the supplied calendar (which determines the time zone).

Specified by:

getEnd in class TimePeriod

Parameters:

calendar - The calendar.

Returns:

The last millisecond of the time period.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Test code - please ignore.
