Class PeriodType

java.lang.Object
  org.joda.time.PeriodType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class PeriodType

extends Object

implements Serializable

Controls a period implementation by specifying which duration fields are to be used.

The following implementations are provided:

• Standard - years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• YearMonthDayTime - years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• YearMonthDay - years, months, days
• YearWeekDayTime - years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• YearWeekDay - years, weeks, days
• YearDayTime - years, days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• YearDay - years, days, hours
• DayTime - days, hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• Time - hours, minutes, seconds, millis
• plus one for each single type

PeriodType is thread-safe and immutable, and all subclasses must be as well.

Since:

1.0
