public final class LocalDateTime
extends BaseLocal
implements ReadablePartial, Serializable

LocalDateTime is an unmodifiable datetime class representing a datetime without a time zone.

LocalDateTime implements the ReadablePartial interface. To do this, certain methods focus on key fields Year, MonthOfYear, DayOfYear and MillisOfDay. However, all fields may in fact be queried.

Internally, LocalDateTime uses a single millisecond-based value to represent the local datetime. This value is only used internally and is not exposed to applications.

Calculations on LocalDateTime are performed using a Chronology. This chronology will be set internally to be in the UTC time zone for all calculations.

Each individual field can be queried in two ways:

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

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

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

LocalDateTime

public LocalDateTime(long instant,
                     DateTimeZone zone)
Constructs an instance set to the local time defined by the specified instant evaluated using ISO chronology in the specified zone.

If the specified time zone is null, the default zone is used. Once the constructor is completed, the zone is no longer used.

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

LocalDateTime

public LocalDateTime(long instant,
                     Chronology chronology)
Constructs an instance set to the local time defined by the specified instant evaluated using the specified chronology.

If the chronology is null, ISO chronology in the default zone is used. Once the constructor is completed, the zone is no longer used.

chronology - the chronology, null means ISOChronology in default zone

LocalDateTime

public LocalDateTime(Object instant)
Constructs an instance from an Object that represents a datetime.

If the object contains no chronology, ISOChronology is used. If the object contains no time zone, the default zone is used. Once the constructor is completed, the zone is no longer used.

The recognised object types are defined in ConverterManager and include ReadablePartial, ReadableInstant, String, Calendar and Date. The String formats are described by ISODateTimeFormat.localDateOptionalTimeParser(). The default String converter ignores the zone and only parses the field values.

Parameters:
instant - the datetime object
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the instant is invalid

Method Detail

now

public static LocalDateTime now()
Obtains a LocalDateTime set to the current system millisecond time using ISOChronology in the default time zone. The resulting object does not use the zone.

Returns:
the current date, not null
Since:
2.0

now

public static LocalDateTime now(DateTimeZone zone)
Obtains a LocalDateTime set to the current system millisecond time using ISOChronology in the specified time zone. The resulting object does not use the zone.

Parameters:
zone - the time zone, not null
Returns:
the current date, not null
Since:
2.0

now

public static LocalDateTime now(Chronology chronology)
Obtains a LocalDateTime set to the current system millisecond time using the specified chronology. The resulting object does not use the zone.

Parameters:
chronology - the chronology, not null
Returns:
the current date, not null
Since:
2.0

parse

public static LocalDateTime parse(String str)
Parses a LocalDateTime from the specified string.

This uses ISODateTimeFormat.localDateOptionalTimeParser().

Parameters:
str - the string to parse, not null
Since:
2.0

parse

public static LocalDateTime parse(String str,
                                  DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Parses a LocalDateTime from the specified string using a formatter.

Parameters:
str - the string to parse, not null
formatter - the formatter to use, not null
Since:
2.0

fromCalendarFields

public static LocalDateTime fromCalendarFields(Calendar calendar)
Constructs a LocalDateTime from a java.util.Calendar using exactly the same field values.

Each field is queried from the Calendar and assigned to the LocalDateTime. This is useful if you have been using the Calendar as a local date, ignoring the zone.

One advantage of this method is that this method is unaffected if the version of the time zone data differs between the JDK and Joda-Time. That is because the local field values are transferred, calculated using the JDK time zone data and without using the Joda-Time time zone data.

This factory method ignores the type of the calendar and always creates a LocalDateTime with ISO chronology. It is expected that you will only pass in instances of GregorianCalendar however this is not validated.

Parameters:
calendar - the Calendar to extract fields from, not null
Returns:
the created local date-time, not null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the calendar is null
IllegalArgumentException - if the date is invalid for the ISO chronology

fromDateFields

public static LocalDateTime fromDateFields(Date date)
Constructs a LocalDateTime from a java.util.Date using exactly the same field values.

Each field is queried from the Date and assigned to the LocalDateTime. This is useful if you have been using the Date as a local date, ignoring the zone.

One advantage of this method is that this method is unaffected if the version of the time zone data differs between the JDK and Joda-Time. That is because the local field values are transferred, calculated using the JDK time zone data and without using the Joda-Time time zone data.

This factory method always creates a LocalDateTime with ISO chronology.

Parameters:
date - the Date to extract fields from, not null
Returns:
the created local date-time, not null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the calendar is null
IllegalArgumentException - if the date is invalid for the ISO chronology

compareTo in interface Comparable<ReadablePartial>
Overrides:
compareTo in class AbstractPartial
Parameters:
partial - an object to check against
Returns:
negative if this is less, zero if equal, positive if greater
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the partial is the wrong class or if it has field types that don't match
NullPointerException - if the partial is null

toDateTime

public DateTime toDateTime()
Converts this object to a DateTime using the default zone.

This method will throw an exception if the datetime that would be created does not exist when the time zone is taken into account.

Returns:
this

toDateTime

public DateTime toDateTime(DateTimeZone zone)
Converts this object to a DateTime using the specified zone.

This method will throw an exception if the datetime that would be created does not exist when the time zone is taken into account.

Parameters:
zone - time zone to apply, or default if null
Returns:
a DateTime using the same millis

toLocalDate

public LocalDate toLocalDate()
Converts this object to a LocalDate with the same date and chronology.

Returns:
a LocalDate with the same date and chronology

toLocalTime

public LocalTime toLocalTime()
Converts this object to a LocalTime with the same time and chronology.

Returns:
a LocalTime with the same time and chronology

toDate

public Date toDate()
Get the date time as a java.util.Date.

The Date object created has exactly the same fields as this date-time, except when the time would be invalid due to a daylight savings gap. In that case, the time will be set to the earliest valid time after the gap.

In the case of a daylight savings overlap, the earlier instant is selected.

Converting to a JDK Date is full of complications as the JDK Date constructor doesn't behave as you might expect around DST transitions. This method works by taking a first guess and then adjusting. This also handles the situation where the JDK time zone data differs from the Joda-Time time zone data.

Returns:
a Date initialised with this date-time, never null
Since:
2.0
