Known Direct Subclasses |
Calendar
is an abstract base class for converting between a
Date
object and a set of integer fields such as
YEAR
, MONTH
, DAY
,
HOUR
, and so on. (A Date
object represents a
specific instant in time with millisecond precision. See Date
for
information about the Date
class.)
Subclasses of Calendar
interpret a Date
according to the rules of a specific calendar system.
Like other locale-sensitive classes, Calendar
provides a class
method, getInstance
, for getting a default instance of
this class for general use. Calendar
's getInstance
method
returns a calendar whose locale is based on system settings and whose time fields
have been initialized with the current date and time:
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance()
A Calendar
object can produce all the time field values needed
to implement the date-time formatting for a particular language and calendar
style (for example, Japanese-Gregorian, Japanese-Traditional).
Calendar
defines the range of values returned by certain
fields, as well as their meaning. For example, the first month of the year
has value MONTH
== JANUARY
for all calendars.
Other values are defined by the concrete subclass, such as ERA
and YEAR
. See individual field documentation and subclass
documentation for details.
When a Calendar
is lenient, it accepts a wider
range of field values than it produces. For example, a lenient
GregorianCalendar
interprets MONTH
==
JANUARY
, DAY_OF_MONTH
== 32 as February 1. A
non-lenient GregorianCalendar
throws an exception when given
out-of-range field settings. When calendars recompute field values for return
by get()
, they normalize them. For example, a
GregorianCalendar
always produces DAY_OF_MONTH
values between 1 and the length of the month.
Calendar
defines a locale-specific seven day week using two
parameters: the first day of the week and the minimal days in first week
(from 1 to 7). These numbers are taken from the locale resource data when a
Calendar
is constructed. They may also be specified explicitly
through the API.
When setting or getting the WEEK_OF_MONTH
or
WEEK_OF_YEAR
fields, Calendar
must determine
the first week of the month or year as a reference point. The first week of a
month or year is defined as the earliest seven day period beginning on
getFirstDayOfWeek()
and containing at least
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
days of that month or year. Weeks
numbered ..., -1, 0 precede the first week; weeks numbered 2, 3,... follow
it. Note that the normalized numbering returned by get()
may
be different. For example, a specific Calendar
subclass may
designate the week before week 1 of a year as week n of the
previous year.
When computing a Date
from time fields, two special
circumstances may arise: there may be insufficient information to compute the
Date
(such as only year and month but no day in the month), or
there may be inconsistent information (such as "Tuesday, July 15, 1996" --
July 15, 1996 is actually a Monday).
Insufficient information. The calendar will use default information to specify the missing fields. This may vary by calendar; for the Gregorian calendar, the default for a field is the same as that of the start of the epoch: i.e., YEAR = 1970, MONTH = JANUARY, DATE = 1, etc.
Inconsistent information. If fields conflict, the calendar will give preference to fields set more recently. For example, when determining the day, the calendar will look for one of the following combinations of fields. The most recent combination, as determined by the most recently set single field, will be used.
For the time of day:MONTH + DAY_OF_MONTH MONTH + WEEK_OF_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH + DAY_OF_WEEK DAY_OF_YEAR DAY_OF_WEEK + WEEK_OF_YEAR
HOUR_OF_DAY AM_PM + HOUR
Note: There are certain possible ambiguities in interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the following ways:
The date or time format strings are not part of the definition of a calendar,
as those must be modifiable or overridable by the user at runtime. Use
DateFormat
to format dates.
Field manipulation methods
Calendar
fields can be changed using three methods:
set()
, add()
, and roll()
.
set(f, value)
changes field f
to value
. In addition, it sets an internal member variable to
indicate that field f
has been changed. Although field
f
is changed immediately, the calendar's milliseconds is not
recomputed until the next call to get()
,
getTime()
, or getTimeInMillis()
is made. Thus,
multiple calls to set()
do not trigger multiple, unnecessary
computations. As a result of changing a field using set()
,
other fields may also change, depending on the field, the field value, and
the calendar system. In addition, get(f)
will not necessarily
return value
after the fields have been recomputed. The
specifics are determined by the concrete calendar class.
Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar
originally
set to August 31, 1999. Calling set(Calendar.MONTH,
Calendar.SEPTEMBER)
sets the calendar to September 31, 1999. This is a temporary internal
representation that resolves to October 1, 1999 if getTime()
is
then called. However, a call to set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 30)
before the call to getTime()
sets the calendar to September
30, 1999, since no recomputation occurs after set()
itself.
add(f, delta)
adds delta
to
field f
. This is equivalent to calling set(f,
get(f) + delta)
with two adjustments:
Add rule 1. The value of field
f
after the call minus the value of fieldf
before the call isdelta
, modulo any overflow that has occurred in fieldf
. Overflow occurs when a field value exceeds its range and, as a result, the next larger field is incremented or decremented and the field value is adjusted back into its range.Add rule 2. If a smaller field is expected to be invariant, but it is impossible for it to be equal to its prior value because of changes in its minimum or maximum after field
f
is changed, then its value is adjusted to be as close as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a smaller unit of time.HOUR
is a smaller field thanDAY_OF_MONTH
. No adjustment is made to smaller fields that are not expected to be invariant. The calendar system determines what fields are expected to be invariant.
In addition, unlike set()
, add()
forces an
immediate recomputation of the calendar's milliseconds and all fields.
Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar
originally
set to August 31, 1999. Calling add(Calendar.MONTH, 13)
sets
the calendar to September 30, 2000. Add rule 1 sets the
MONTH
field to September, since adding 13 months to August
gives September of the next year. Since DAY_OF_MONTH
cannot be
31 in September in a GregorianCalendar
, add rule 2
sets the DAY_OF_MONTH
to 30, the closest possible value.
Although it is a smaller field, DAY_OF_WEEK
is not adjusted by
rule 2, since it is expected to change when the month changes in a
GregorianCalendar
.
roll(f, delta)
adds delta
to
field f
without changing larger fields. This is equivalent to
calling add(f, delta)
with the following adjustment:
Roll rule. Larger fields are unchanged after the call. A larger field represents a larger unit of time.
DAY_OF_MONTH
is a larger field thanHOUR
.
Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar
originally
set to August 31, 1999. Calling roll(Calendar.MONTH,
8)
sets
the calendar to April 30, 1999. Add rule 1 sets the
MONTH
field to April. Using a GregorianCalendar
,
the DAY_OF_MONTH
cannot be 31 in the month April. Add rule 2
sets it to the closest possible value, 30. Finally, the roll rule
maintains the YEAR
field value of 1999.
Example: Consider a GregorianCalendar
originally
set to Sunday June 6, 1999. Calling
roll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Tuesday
June 1, 1999, whereas calling add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Sunday May 30, 1999. This is because the roll rule
imposes an additional constraint: The MONTH
must not change
when the WEEK_OF_MONTH
is rolled. Taken together with add rule
1, the resultant date must be between Tuesday June 1 and Saturday June 5.
According to add rule 2, the DAY_OF_WEEK
, an invariant when
changing the WEEK_OF_MONTH
, is set to Tuesday, the closest
possible value to Sunday (where Sunday is the first day of the week).
Usage model. To motivate the behavior of add()
and roll()
, consider a user interface component with
increment and decrement buttons for the month, day, and year, and an
underlying GregorianCalendar
. If the interface reads January
31, 1999 and the user presses the month increment button, what should it
read? If the underlying implementation uses set()
, it might
read March 3, 1999. A better result would be February 28, 1999. Furthermore,
if the user presses the month increment button again, it should read March
31, 1999, not March 28, 1999. By saving the original date and using either
add()
or roll()
, depending on whether larger
fields should be affected, the user interface can behave as most users will
intuitively expect.
Note: You should always use roll
and add
rather than
attempting to perform arithmetic operations directly on the fields of a
Calendar. It is quite possible for Calendar subclasses
to have fields with non-linear behavior, for example missing months or days
during non-leap years. The subclasses' add and roll
methods will take this into account, while simple arithmetic manipulations
may give invalid results.

Value of the AM_PM
field indicating the period of the day
from midnight to just before noon.
Value of the MONTH
field indicating the fourth month of
the year.
Value of the MONTH
field indicating the eighth month of
the year.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
day of the month. This is a synonym for DAY_OF_MONTH
. The
first day of the month has value 1.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
day of the month. This is a synonym for DATE
. The first
day of the month has value 1.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
ordinal number of the day of the week within the current month. Together
with the DAY_OF_WEEK
field, this uniquely specifies a day
within a month. Unlike WEEK_OF_MONTH
and
WEEK_OF_YEAR
, this field's value does not
depend on getFirstDayOfWeek()
or
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
. DAY_OF_MONTH 1
through 7
always correspond to DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH
1
;
8
through 15
correspond to
DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 2
, and so on.
DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 0
indicates the week before
DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 1
. Negative values count back from
the end of the month, so the last Sunday of a month is specified as
DAY_OF_WEEK = SUNDAY, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH = -1
. Because
negative values count backward they will usually be aligned differently
within the month than positive values. For example, if a month has 31
days, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH -1
will overlap
DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH 5
and the end of 4
.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
day number within the current year. The first day of the year has value
1.
Value of the MONTH
field indicating the twelfth month of
the year.
Field number for get

Value of the MONTH
field indicating the second month of
the year.
This is the total number of fields in this calendar.
Value of the DAY_OF_WEEK
field indicating Friday.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
hour of the morning or afternoon. HOUR
is used for the
12-hour clock. E.g., at 10:04:15.250 PM the HOUR
is 10.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
hour of the day. HOUR_OF_DAY
is used for the 24-hour
clock. E.g., at 10:04:15.250 PM the HOUR_OF_DAY
is 22.
Value of the MONTH
field indicating the first month of the
year.
Value of the MONTH
field indicating the seventh month of
the year.
Value of the MONTH

Field number for get
and set
indicating the
millisecond within the second. E.g., at 10:04:15.250 PM the
MILLISECOND
is 250.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
minute within the hour. E.g., at 10:04:15.250 PM the MINUTE
is 4.
Value of the DAY_OF_WEEK
field indicating Monday.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
month. This is a calendar-specific value. The first month of the year is
JANUARY
; the last depends on the number of months in a
year.
Value of the MONTH

Value of the DAY_OF_WEEK
field indicating Sunday.
Value of the DAY_OF_WEEK

Value of the MONTH
field indicating the thirteenth month

Value of the DAY_OF_WEEK
field indicating Wednesday.
Field number for get
and set
indicating the
week number within the current month. The first week of the month, as
defined by getFirstDayOfWeek()
and
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
, has value 1. Subclasses
define the value of WEEK_OF_MONTH
for days before the
first week of the month.
Field number for get

Returns a map of human-readable strings to corresponding values, for the given field, style, and locale. Returns null if no strings are available.
For example, getDisplayNames(MONTH, ALL_STYLES, Locale.US)
would
contain mappings from "Jan" and "January" to JANUARY
, and so on.

Returns the first day of the week for this Calendar
.
Returns the greatest minimum value of the given field. This is the
biggest value that getActualMinimum
can return for any possible
time.
Constructs a new instance of the Calendar
subclass appropriate for the
given Locale
and default TimeZone
, set to the current date and time.
Constructs a new instance of the Calendar

default Locale
and given TimeZone
, set to the current date and time.
Constructs a new instance of the Calendar
subclass appropriate for the
default Locale
and default TimeZone
, set to the current date and time.
Returns the smallest maximum value of the given field. This is the
smallest value that getActualMaximum()
can return for any
possible time.
Returns the greatest maximum value of the given field. This returns the
biggest value that get
can return for the given field.
Returns the minimal days in the first week of the year.
Returns the smallest minimum value of the given field. this returns the
smallest value that get
can return for the given field.
Returns the time of this Calendar
as a Date
object.
IllegalArgumentException | if the time is not set and the time cannot be computed from the current field values. |
---|
Returns the time represented by this Calendar
, recomputing the time from its
fields if necessary.
IllegalArgumentException | if the time is not set and the time cannot be computed from the current field values. |

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two
objects for which equals(Object)
returns true
must return
the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object
usually override both methods or neither method.
Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.
See Writing a correct
hashCode
method
if you intend implementing your own hashCode
method.
Tests whether this Calendar
accepts field values which are outside the valid
range for the field.
Tests whether the given field is set. Note that the interpretation of "is set" is
somewhat technical. In particular, it does not mean that the field's value is up
to date. If you want to know whether a field contains an up-to-date value, you must also
check areFieldsSet
, making this method somewhat useless unless you're a subclass,
in which case you can access the isSet
array directly.
A field remains "set" from the first time its value is computed until it's cleared by one
of the clear
methods. Thus "set" does not mean "valid". You probably want to call
get
-- which will update fields as necessary -- rather than try to make use of
this method.
Adds the given amount to the given field and wraps the value of the field when it goes beyond the maximum or minimum value for the current date. Other fields will be adjusted as required to maintain a consistent date.
Increment or decrement the given field and wrap the value of the field when it goes beyond the maximum or minimum value for the current date. Other fields will be adjusted as required to maintain a consistent date.
Sets the given field to the given value.
Sets the year, month, day of the month, hour of day, minute, and second fields.
Other fields are not changed; call clear()
first if this is not desired.
The month value is 0-based, so it may be clearer to use a constant like JANUARY
.
Sets the year, month, and day of the month fields.
Other fields are not changed; call clear()
first if this is not desired.
The month value is 0-based, so it may be clearer to use a constant like JANUARY
.
Sets the year, month, day of the month, hour of day, and minute fields.
Other fields are not changed; call clear()
first if this is not desired.
The month value is 0-based, so it may be clearer to use a constant like JANUARY
.
Sets the first day of the week for this Calendar
.
The value should be a day of the week such as MONDAY
.
Sets whether this Calendar
accepts field values which are outside the valid
range for the field.
Sets the minimal days in the first week of the year.
Sets the time of this Calendar
to the given Unix time. See Date
for more
about what this means.
Sets the TimeZone
used by this Calendar.
Returns a string representation of this Calendar
, showing which fields are set.
Computes the time from the fields if the time has not already been set. Computes the fields from the time if the fields are not already set.
IllegalArgumentException | if the time is not set and the time cannot be computed from the current field values. |
---|
Computes the Calendar
fields from time
.
Computes time
from the Calendar fields.
IllegalArgumentException | if the time cannot be computed from the current field values. |
