All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class BuddhistChronology
extends AssembledChronology

A chronology that matches the BuddhistCalendar class supplied by Sun.

The chronology is identical to the Gregorian/Julian, except that the year is offset by +543 and the era is named 'BE' for Buddhist Era.

This class was intended by Sun to model the calendar used in Thailand. However, the actual rules for Thailand are much more involved than this class covers. (This class is accurate after 1941-01-01 ISO).

This chronlogy is being retained for those who want a same effect replacement for the Sun class. It is hoped that community support will enable a more accurate chronology for Thailand, to be developed.

BuddhistChronology is thread-safe and immutable.

Method Detail

getInstanceUTC

public static BuddhistChronology getInstanceUTC()

Standard instance of a Buddhist Chronology, that matches Sun's BuddhistCalendar class. This means that it follows the GregorianJulian calendar rules with a cutover date.

The time zone of the returned instance is UTC.

getInstance

public static BuddhistChronology getInstance()

Standard instance of a Buddhist Chronology, that matches Sun's BuddhistCalendar class. This means that it follows the GregorianJulian calendar rules with a cutover date.

getInstance

public static BuddhistChronology getInstance(DateTimeZone zone)

Standard instance of a Buddhist Chronology, that matches Sun's BuddhistCalendar class. This means that it follows the GregorianJulian calendar rules with a cutover date.

Parameters:

zone - the time zone to use, null is default

withUTC

public Chronology withUTC()

Gets the Chronology in the UTC time zone.

Specified by:

withUTC in class BaseChronology

Returns:

the chronology in UTC

withZone

public Chronology withZone(DateTimeZone zone)

Gets the Chronology in a specific time zone.

Specified by:

withZone in class BaseChronology

Parameters:

zone - the zone to get the chronology in, null is default

Returns:

the chronology

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Checks if this chronology instance equals another.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Gets a debugging toString.

Specified by:

toString in class BaseChronology

Returns:

a debugging string

assemble

protected void assemble(AssembledChronology.Fields fields)

Description copied from class: AssembledChronology

Invoked by the constructor and after deserialization to allow subclasses to define all of its supported fields. All unset fields default to unsupported instances.

Specified by:

assemble in class AssembledChronology

Parameters:

fields - container of fields
