public class SimpleTimeZone
extends BasicTimeZone

[icu enhancement] ICU's replacement for java.util.SimpleTimeZone. Methods, fields, and other functionality specific to ICU are labeled '[icu]'.

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.

Status:

Stable ICU 2.0.

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.

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.

Status:

Stable ICU 2.0.

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 TimeZone compatibility support. The TimeZone.useDaylightTime() method only checks the last known rule(s), therefore it may return false even the zone observes daylight saving time currently. TimeZone 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 TimeZone.observesDaylightTime(). 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()

Status:

Stable ICU 49.

                                            boolean inclusive)

[icu] Returns the first time zone transition after the base time.

Example code:

System.out.println("### Iterates time zone transitions in America/Los_Angeles starting 2005-01-01 and forward");

// A TimeZone instance created by getTimeZone with TIMEZONE_ICU is always a BasicTimeZone
BasicTimeZone btz = (BasicTimeZone)TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles", TimeZone.TIMEZONE_ICU);

// Date format for the wall time
SimpleDateFormat wallTimeFmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z", ULocale.US);
wallTimeFmt.setTimeZone(btz);

long start = 1104537600000L;    // 2005-01-01 0:00 UTC
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {   // Up to 5 transitions
    TimeZoneTransition trans = btz.getNextTransition(start, false /* not including start time */);

    // Display the transition time and offset information
    long transTime = trans.getTime();
    System.out.println(wallTimeFmt.format(new Date(transTime - 1)) + " -> " + wallTimeFmt.format(new Date(transTime)));
    System.out.println(" - Before (Offset/Save): " + trans.getFrom().getRawOffset() + "/" + trans.getFrom().getDSTSavings());
    System.out.println(" - After  (Offset/Save): " + trans.getTo().getRawOffset() + "/" + trans.getTo().getDSTSavings());

    // Update start time for next transition
    start = transTime;
}

Specified by:

getNextTransition in class BasicTimeZone

Parameters:

base - The base time.

inclusive - Whether the base time is inclusive or not.

Returns:

A Date holding the first time zone transition time after the given base time, or null if no time zone transitions are available after the base time.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getPreviousTransition

public TimeZoneTransition getPreviousTransition(long base,
                                                boolean inclusive)

[icu] Returns the last time zone transition before the base time.

Example code:

System.out.println("### Iterates time zone transitions in America/Los_Angeles starting 2010-01-01 and backward");

// A TimeZone instance created by getTimeZone with TIMEZONE_ICU is always a BasicTimeZone
BasicTimeZone btz = (BasicTimeZone)TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles", TimeZone.TIMEZONE_ICU);

// Date format for the wall time
SimpleDateFormat wallTimeFmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z", ULocale.US);
wallTimeFmt.setTimeZone(btz);

long start = 1262304000000L;    // 2010-01-01 0:00 UTC
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {   // Up to 5 transitions
    TimeZoneTransition trans = btz.getPreviousTransition(start, false /* not including start time */);

    // Display the transition time and offset information
    long transTime = trans.getTime();
    System.out.println(wallTimeFmt.format(new Date(transTime - 1)) + " -> " + wallTimeFmt.format(new Date(transTime)));
    System.out.println(" - Before (Offset/Save): " + trans.getFrom().getRawOffset() + "/" + trans.getFrom().getDSTSavings());
    System.out.println(" - After  (Offset/Save): " + trans.getTo().getRawOffset() + "/" + trans.getTo().getDSTSavings());

    // Update start time for next transition
    start = transTime;
}

Specified by:

getPreviousTransition in class BasicTimeZone

Parameters:

base - The base time.

inclusive - Whether the base time is inclusive or not.

Returns:

A Date holding the last time zone transition time before the given base time, or null if no time zone transitions are available before the base time.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

getTimeZoneRules

public TimeZoneRule[] getTimeZoneRules()

[icu] Returns the array of TimeZoneRule which represents the rule of this time zone object. The first element in the result array will be the InitialTimeZoneRule instance for the initial rule. The rest will be either AnnualTimeZoneRule or TimeArrayTimeZoneRule instances representing transitions.

Specified by:

getTimeZoneRules in class BasicTimeZone

Returns:

The array of TimeZoneRule which represents this time zone.

Status:

Stable ICU 3.8.

isFrozen

public boolean isFrozen()

Determines whether the object has been frozen or not.

Specified by:

isFrozen in interface Freezable<TimeZone>

Overrides:

isFrozen in class TimeZone

Status:

Stable ICU 49.

freeze

public TimeZone freeze()

Freezes the object.

Specified by:

freeze in interface Freezable<TimeZone>

Overrides:

freeze in class TimeZone

Returns:

the object itself.

Status:

Stable ICU 49.

cloneAsThawed

public TimeZone cloneAsThawed()

Provides for the clone operation. Any clone is initially unfrozen.

Specified by:
