public abstract class AbstractReadableInstantFieldProperty

extends Object

implements Serializable

AbstractReadableInstantFieldProperty is a base class for binding a ReadableInstant to a DateTimeField.

It allows the date and time manipulation code to be field based yet still easy to use.

AbstractReadableInstantFieldProperty itself is thread-safe and immutable, but the ReadableInstant being operated on may be mutable and not thread-safe.

Since:

1.0

Method Detail

getField

public abstract DateTimeField getField()

Gets the field being used.

Returns:

the field

getFieldType

public DateTimeFieldType getFieldType()

Gets the field type being used.

Returns:

the field type

getName

public String getName()

Gets the name of the field.

Returns:

the field name

get

public int get()

Gets the value of this property from the instant.

For example, the following two lines of code are equivalent:

 datetime.getDayOfMonth();
 datetime.dayOfMonth().get();
 

Returns:

the current value

See Also:

DateTimeField.get(long)

getAsString

public String getAsString()

Gets the value of this property from the instant as a string.

This method returns the value converted to a String using Integer.toString. This method does NOT return textual descriptions such as 'Monday' or 'January'. See getAsText() and getAsShortText() for those.

Returns:

the current value

Since:

1.1

See Also:

DateTimeField.get(long)

getAsText

public String getAsText()

Gets the textual value of this property from the instant as a string in the default locale.

This method returns the value converted to a String returning the appropriate textual description wherever possible. Thus, a day of week of 1 would return 'Monday' in English.

Returns:

the current text value

See Also:

DateTimeField.getAsText(long, java.util.Locale)

getAsText

public String getAsText(Locale locale)

Gets the textual value of this property from the instant as a string in the specified locale.

This method returns the value converted to a String returning the appropriate textual description wherever possible. Thus, a day of week of 1 would return 'Monday' in English.

Parameters:

locale - locale to use for selecting a text symbol, null means default

Returns:

the current text value

See Also:

DateTimeField.getAsText(long, java.util.Locale)

getAsShortText

public String getAsShortText()

Gets the short textual value of this property from the instant as a string in the default locale.

This method returns the value converted to a String returning the appropriate textual description wherever possible. Thus, a day of week of 1 would return 'Mon' in English.

Returns:

the current text value

See Also:

DateTimeField.getAsShortText(long, java.util.Locale)

getAsShortText

public String getAsShortText(Locale locale)

Gets the short textual value of this property from the instant as a string in the specified locale.

This method returns the value converted to a String returning the appropriate textual description wherever possible. Thus, a day of week of 1 would return 'Mon' in English.

Parameters:

locale - locale to use for selecting a text symbol, null means default

Returns:

the current text value

See Also:

DateTimeField.getAsShortText(long, java.util.Locale)

getDifference

public int getDifference(ReadableInstant instant)

Returns the difference between this field property instant and the one passed in, in the units of this field. The sign of the difference matches that of compareTo. In other words, this field property's instant is the minuend.

Parameters:

instant - the subtrahend, null means now

Returns:

the difference in the units of this field

See Also:

DateTimeField.getDifference(long, long)

getDifferenceAsLong

public long getDifferenceAsLong(ReadableInstant instant)

Returns the difference between this field property instant and the one passed in, in the units of this field. The sign of the difference matches that of compareTo. In other words, this field property's instant is the minuend.

Parameters:

instant - the subtrahend, null means now

Returns:

the difference in the units of this field

See Also:

DateTimeField.getDifference(long, long)

getDurationField

public DurationField getDurationField()

Returns the duration per unit value of this field. For example, if this field represents "hour of day", then the duration is an hour.

Returns:

the duration of this field, or UnsupportedDurationField

getRangeDurationField

public DurationField getRangeDurationField()

Returns the range duration of this field. For example, if this field represents "hour of day", then the range duration is a day.

Returns:

the range duration of this field, or null if field has no range

isLeap
