Class BaseLocal

java.lang.Object
  org.joda.time.base.AbstractPartial
      org.joda.time.base.BaseLocal

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<ReadablePartial>, ReadablePartial

Direct Known Subclasses:

LocalDate, LocalDateTime, LocalTime

public abstract class BaseLocal
extends AbstractPartial

BaseLocal is an abstract implementation of ReadablePartial that use a local milliseconds internal representation.

This class should generally not be used directly by API users. The ReadablePartial interface should be used when different kinds of partial objects are to be referenced.

BasePartial subclasses may be mutable and not thread-safe.

Constructor Detail

BaseLocal

protected BaseLocal()

Constructs a partial with the current time, using ISOChronology in the default zone to extract the fields.

The constructor uses the default time zone, resulting in the local time being initialised. Once the constructor is complete, all further calculations are performed without reference to a timezone (by switching to UTC).

Method Detail

getLocalMillis

protected abstract long getLocalMillis()

Gets the local milliseconds from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00 (not fixed to any specific time zone).

This method is useful in certain circustances for high performance access to the datetime fields.

Returns:

the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00
