Class DateTimeFieldType

java.lang.Object
  org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public abstract class DateTimeFieldType

extends Object

implements Serializable

Identifies a field, such as year or minuteOfHour, in a chronology-neutral way.

A field type defines the type of the field, such as hourOfDay. If does not directly enable any calculations, however it does provide a getField(Chronology) method that returns the actual calculation engine for a particular chronology. It also provides access to the related DurationFieldTypes.

Instances of DateTimeFieldType are singletons. They can be compared using ==.

If required, you can create your own field, for example a quarterOfYear. You must create a subclass of DateTimeFieldType that defines the field type. This class returns the actual calculation engine from getField(Chronology).
