Constructor Detail

TimeArrayTimeZoneRule

public TimeArrayTimeZoneRule(String name,
                             int rawOffset,
                             int dstSavings,
                             long[] startTimes,
                             int timeType)

Constructs a TimeArrayTimeZoneRule with the name, the GMT offset of its standard time, the amount of daylight saving offset adjustment and the array of times when this rule takes effect.

Parameters:

name - The time zone name.

rawOffset - The UTC offset of its standard time in milliseconds.

dstSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset adjustment in milliseconds. If this ia a rule for standard time, the value of this argument is 0.

startTimes - The start times in milliseconds since the base time (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00).

timeType - The time type of the start times, which is one of DataTimeRule.WALL_TIME, STANDARD_TIME and UTC_TIME.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

Method Detail

getStartTimes

public long[] getStartTimes()

Gets the array of start times used by this rule.

Returns:

An array of the start times in milliseconds since the base time (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT).

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getTimeType

public int getTimeType()

Gets the time type of the start times used by this rule. The return value is either DateTimeRule.WALL_TIME or DateTimeRule.STANDARD_TIME or DateTimeRule.UTC_TIME.

Returns:

The time type used of the start times used by this rule.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getFirstStart

public Date getFirstStart(int prevRawOffset,
                          int prevDSTSavings)

Gets the very first time when this rule takes effect.

Specified by:

getFirstStart in class TimeZoneRule

Parameters:

prevRawOffset - The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.

prevDSTSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.

Returns:

The very first time when this rule takes effect.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getFinalStart

public Date getFinalStart(int prevRawOffset,
                          int prevDSTSavings)

Gets the final time when this rule takes effect.

Specified by:

getFinalStart in class TimeZoneRule

Parameters:

prevRawOffset - The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.

prevDSTSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.

Returns:

The very last time when this rule takes effect, or null if this rule is applied for future dates infinitely.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getNextStart

public Date getNextStart(long base,
                         int prevOffset,
                         int prevDSTSavings,
                         boolean inclusive)

Gets the first time when this rule takes effect after the specified time.

Specified by:

getNextStart in class TimeZoneRule

Parameters:

base - The first time after this time is returned.

prevOffset - The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.

prevDSTSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.

inclusive - Whether the base time is inclusive or not.

Returns:

The first time when this rule takes effect after the specified time, or null when this rule never takes effect after the specified time.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getPreviousStart

public Date getPreviousStart(long base,
                             int prevOffset,
                             int prevDSTSavings,
                             boolean inclusive)

Gets the most recent time when this rule takes effect before the specified time.

Specified by:

getPreviousStart in class TimeZoneRule

Parameters:

base - The most recent time when this rule takes effect before this time is returned.

prevOffset - The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.

prevDSTSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset from the standard time.

inclusive - Whether the base time is inclusive or not.

Returns:

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

isEquivalentTo

public boolean isEquivalentTo(TimeZoneRule other)

Returns if this rule represents the same rule and offsets as another. When two TimeZoneRule objects differ only its names, this method returns true.

Overrides:

isEquivalentTo in class TimeZoneRule

Parameters:

other - The TimeZoneRule object to be compared with.

Returns:

true if the other TimeZoneRule is the same as this one.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

isTransitionRule

public boolean isTransitionRule()

Returns if this TimeZoneRule has one or more start times.

Note: This method in TimeArrayTimeZoneRule always returns true.

Specified by:

isTransitionRule in class TimeZoneRule

Returns:

true if this has one or more start times.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of this TimeArrayTimeZoneRule object. This method is used for debugging purpose only. The string representation can be changed in future version of ICU without any notice.

Overrides:

toString in class TimeZoneRule

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.
