DateTime is the standard implementation of an unmodifiable datetime class.

DateTime is the most widely used implementation of ReadableInstant. As with all instants, it represents an exact point on the time-line, but limited to the precision of milliseconds. A DateTime calculates its fields with respect to a time zone.

Internally, the class holds two pieces of data. Firstly, it holds the datetime as milliseconds from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Secondly, it holds a Chronology which determines how the millisecond instant value is converted into the date time fields. The default Chronology is ISOChronology which is the agreed international standard and compatible with the modern Gregorian calendar.

Each individual field can be queried in two ways:

getHourOfDay()
hourOfDay().get()

The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the field:

numeric value
text value
short text value
maximum/minimum values
add/subtract
set
rounding

DateTime is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well. All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.

Constructor Detail

DateTime

public DateTime()

Constructs an instance set to the current system millisecond time using ISOChronology in the default time zone.

See Also:: now()

DateTime

public DateTime(DateTimeZone zone)

Constructs an instance set to the current system millisecond time using ISOChronology in the specified time zone.

If the specified time zone is null, the default zone is used.

Parameters:: zone - the time zone, null means default zone
See Also:: now(DateTimeZone)

DateTime

public DateTime(Chronology chronology)

Constructs an instance set to the current system millisecond time using the specified chronology.

If the chronology is null, ISOChronology in the default time zone is used.

Parameters:: chronology - the chronology, null means ISOChronology in default zone
See Also:: now(Chronology)

DateTime

public DateTime(long instant)

Constructs an instance set to the milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z using ISOChronology in the default time zone.

Parameters:: instant - the milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

DateTime

                DateTimeZone zone)

Constructs an instance set to the milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z using ISOChronology in the specified time zone.

If the specified time zone is null, the default zone is used.

Parameters:: instant - the milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z; zone - the time zone, null means default zone

DateTime

public DateTime(long instant,
                Chronology chronology)

DateTime

public DateTime(Object instant)

Constructs an instance from an Object that represents a datetime.

If the object implies a chronology (such as GregorianCalendar does), then that chronology will be used. Otherwise, ISO default is used. Thus if a GregorianCalendar is passed in, the chronology used will be GJ, but if a Date is passed in the chronology will be ISO.

The recognised object types are defined in ConverterManager and include ReadableInstant, String, Calendar and Date. The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser().

Parameters:: instant - the datetime object, null means now
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the instant is invalid

DateTime

public DateTime(Object instant,
                DateTimeZone zone)

Constructs an instance from an Object that represents a datetime, forcing the time zone to that specified.

If the object implies a chronology (such as GregorianCalendar does), then that chronology will be used, but with the time zone adjusted. Otherwise, ISO is used in the specified time zone. If the specified time zone is null, the default zone is used. Thus if a GregorianCalendar is passed in, the chronology used will be GJ, but if a Date is passed in the chronology will be ISO.

The recognised object types are defined in ConverterManager and include ReadableInstant, String, Calendar and Date. The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser().

Parameters:: instant - the datetime object, null means now; zone - the time zone, null means default time zone
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the instant is invalid

DateTime

public DateTime(Object instant,
                Chronology chronology)

Constructs an instance from an Object that represents a datetime, using the specified chronology.

If the chronology is null, ISO in the default time zone is used. Any chronology implied by the object (such as GregorianCalendar does) is ignored.

The recognised object types are defined in ConverterManager and include ReadableInstant, String, Calendar and Date. The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser().

Parameters:: instant - the datetime object, null means now; chronology - the chronology, null means ISO in default zone
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the instant is invalid

The returned object will be a new instance of the same implementation type. This method changes the time zone and the millisecond instant to keep the field values the same. The returned object will be either be a new instance or this.

Parameters:: newZone - the new time zone, null means default
Returns:: a copy of this datetime with a different time zone
See Also:: withZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone)

withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap

public DateTime withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap()

Returns a copy of this ZonedDateTime changing the zone offset to the earlier of the two valid offsets at a local time-line overlap.

This method only has any effect when the local time-line overlaps, such as at an autumn daylight savings cutover. In this scenario, there are two valid offsets for the local date-time. Calling this method will return a date-time with the earlier of the two selected.

If this method is called when it is not an overlap, this is returned.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Returns:: a copy of this datetime with the earliest valid offset for the local datetime

Returns a copy of this datetime with the specified date, retaining the time fields.

If the date is already the date passed in, then this is returned.

To set a single field use the properties, for example:

 DateTime set = monthOfYear().setCopy(6);

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters:: year - the new year value; monthOfYear - the new monthOfYear value; dayOfMonth - the new dayOfMonth value
Returns:: a copy of this datetime with a different date

Returns a copy of this datetime with the specified time, retaining the date fields.

If the time is already the time passed in, then this is returned.

To set a single field use the properties, for example:

Returns:: a copy of this datetime with the time set to the start of the day, not null

withFields

public DateTime withFields(ReadablePartial partial)

plus

public DateTime plus(ReadablePeriod period)

Returns a copy of this datetime with the specified period added.

This method will add each element of the period one by one, from largest to smallest, adjusting the datetime to be accurate between each.

Thus, adding a period of one month and one day to 2007-03-31 will work as follows: First add one month and adjust, resulting in 2007-04-30 Then add one day and adjust, resulting in 2007-05-01.

This method is typically used to add complex period instances. Adding one field is best achieved using methods like plusYears(int).

If the amount is zero or null, then this is returned. This datetime instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Returns:: a copy of this datetime with the period added
Throws:: ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity of a long

plusYears

The following three lines are identical in effect:

 DateTime added = dt.plusMonths(6);
 DateTime added = dt.plus(Period.months(6));
 DateTime added = dt.withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType.months(), 6);

This datetime instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

In spring an hour is typically removed. If adding one day results in the time being within the cutover then the time is adjusted to be within summer time. For example, if the cutover is from 01:59 to 03:00 and the result of this method would have been 02:30, then the result will be adjusted to 03:30.
