public abstract class AbstractPartial
extends Object
implements ReadablePartial, Comparable

AbstractPartial provides a standard base implementation of most methods in the ReadablePartial interface.

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

The methods on this class use ReadablePartial.size(), AbstractPartial#getField(int, Chronology) and ReadablePartial.getValue(int) to calculate their results. Subclasses may have a better implementation.

AbstractPartial allows subclasses may be mutable and not thread-safe.

Method Detail

getFieldType

public DateTimeFieldType getFieldType(int index)
Gets the field type at the specifed index.

Specified by:
getFieldType in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
index - the index
Returns:
the field type
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

getFieldTypes

public DateTimeFieldType[] getFieldTypes()
Gets an array of the field types that this partial supports.

The fields are returned largest to smallest, for example Hour, Minute, Second.

Returns:
the fields supported in an array that may be altered, largest to smallest

getField

public DateTimeField getField(int index)
Gets the field at the specifed index.

Specified by:
getField in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
index - the index
Returns:
the field
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

getFields

public DateTimeField[] getFields()
Gets an array of the fields that this partial supports.

The fields are returned largest to smallest, for example Hour, Minute, Second.

Returns:
the fields supported in an array that may be altered, largest to smallest

getValues

public int[] getValues()
Gets an array of the value of each of the fields that this partial supports.

The fields are returned largest to smallest, for example Hour, Minute, Second. Each value corresponds to the same array index as getFields()

Returns:
the current values of each field in an array that may be altered, largest to smallest

get

public int get(DateTimeFieldType type)
Get the value of one of the fields of a datetime.

The field specified must be one of those that is supported by the partial.

Specified by:
get in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
type - a DateTimeFieldType instance that is supported by this partial
Returns:
the value of that field
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the field is null or not supported

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(DateTimeFieldType type)
Checks whether the field specified is supported by this partial.

Specified by:
isSupported in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
type - the type to check, may be null which returns false
Returns:
true if the field is supported

indexOf

public int indexOf(DateTimeFieldType type)
Gets the index of the specified field, or -1 if the field is unsupported.

Parameters:
type - the type to check, may be null which returns -1
Returns:
the index of the field, -1 if unsupported

toDateTime

public DateTime toDateTime(ReadableInstant baseInstant)
Resolves this partial against another complete instant to create a new full instant. The combination is performed using the chronology of the specified instant.

For example, if this partial represents a time, then the result of this method will be the datetime from the specified base instant plus the time from this partial.

Specified by:
toDateTime in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
baseInstant - the instant that provides the missing fields, null means now
Returns:
the combined datetime

equals

public boolean equals(Object partial)
Compares this ReadablePartial with another returning true if the chronology, field types and values are equal.

Specified by:
equals in interface ReadablePartial
Parameters:
partial - an object to check against
Returns:
true if fields and values are equal

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Gets a hash code for the ReadablePartial that is compatible with the equals method.

Specified by:
hashCode in interface ReadablePartial
Returns:
a suitable hash code

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object partial)
Compares this partial with another returning an integer indicating the order.

The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.

The specified object must be a partial instance whose field types match those of this partial.

NOTE: This implementation violates the Comparable contract. This method will accept any instance of ReadablePartial as input. However, it is possible that some implementations of ReadablePartial exist that do not extend AbstractPartial, and thus will throw a ClassCastException if compared in the opposite direction. The cause of this problem is that ReadablePartial doesn't define the compareTo() method, however we can't change that until v2.0.

Specified by:
compareTo in interface Comparable
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
Since:
1.1

isAfter

public boolean isAfter(ReadablePartial partial)
Is this partial later than the specified partial.

The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.

You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.

Parameters:
partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
Returns:
true if this date is after the date passed in
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
Since:
1.1

isBefore

public boolean isBefore(ReadablePartial partial)
Is this partial earlier than the specified partial.

The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.

You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.

Parameters:
partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
Returns:
true if this date is before the date passed in
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
Since:
1.1

isEqual

public boolean isEqual(ReadablePartial partial)
Is this partial the same as the specified partial.

The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. If all fields are equal, the result is true.

You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.

Parameters:
partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
Returns:
true if this date is the same as the date passed in
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
Since:
1.1

toString

public String toString(DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Uses the specified formatter to convert this partial to a String.

Parameters:
formatter - the formatter to use, null means use toString().
Returns:
the formatted string
Since:
1.1
