GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of
Calendar
and provides the standard calendar used by most of the world.
The standard (Gregorian) calendar has 2 eras, BC and AD.
This implementation handles a single discontinuity, which corresponds by
default to the date the Gregorian calendar was instituted (October 15, 1582
in some countries, later in others). The cutover date may be changed by the
caller by calling setGregorianChange().
Historically, in those countries which adopted the Gregorian calendar first,
October 4, 1582 was thus followed by October 15, 1582. This calendar models
this correctly. Before the Gregorian cutover, GregorianCalendar
implements the Julian calendar. The only difference between the Gregorian
and the Julian calendar is the leap year rule. The Julian calendar specifies
leap years every four years, whereas the Gregorian calendar omits century
years which are not divisible by 400.
GregorianCalendar implements proleptic Gregorian and
Julian calendars. That is, dates are computed by extrapolating the current
rules indefinitely far backward and forward in time. As a result,
GregorianCalendar may be used for all years to generate
meaningful and consistent results. However, dates obtained using
GregorianCalendar are historically accurate only from March 1, 4
AD onward, when modern Julian calendar rules were adopted. Before this date,
leap year rules were applied irregularly, and before 45 BC the Julian
calendar did not even exist.
Prior to the institution of the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was March 25. To avoid confusion, this calendar always uses January 1. A manual adjustment may be made if desired for dates that are prior to the Gregorian changeover and which fall between January 1 and March 24.
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_YEAR field range from 1 to
53. Week 1 for a year is the earliest seven day period starting on
getFirstDayOfWeek() that contains at least
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() days from that year. It thus
depends on the values of getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(),
getFirstDayOfWeek(), and the day of the week of January 1.
Weeks between week 1 of one year and week 1 of the following year are
numbered sequentially from 2 to 52 or 53 (as needed).
For example, January 1, 1998 was a Thursday. If
getFirstDayOfWeek() is MONDAY and
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4 (these are the values
reflecting ISO 8601 and many national standards), then week 1 of 1998 starts
on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. If, however,
getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY, then week 1 of 1998
starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days
of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997.
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_MONTH field range from 0 or
1 to 4 or 5. Week 1 of a month (the days with WEEK_OF_MONTH =
1) is the earliest set of at least
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() contiguous days in that month,
ending on the day before getFirstDayOfWeek(). Unlike
week 1 of a year, week 1 of a month may be shorter than 7 days, need
not start on getFirstDayOfWeek(), and will not include days of
the previous month. Days of a month before week 1 have a
WEEK_OF_MONTH of 0.
For example, if getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY
and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4, then the first week of
January 1998 is Sunday, January 4 through Saturday, January 10. These days
have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 1. Thursday, January 1 through
Saturday, January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 0. If
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is changed to 3, then January 1
through January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 1.
Example:
// get the supported ids for GMT-08:00 (Pacific Standard Time)
String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// if no ids were returned, something is wrong. get out.
if (ids.length == 0)
System.exit(0);
// begin output
System.out.println("Current Time");
// create a Pacific Standard Time time zone
SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);
// set up rules for daylight savings time
pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
// create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
// and the current date and time
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
Date trialTime = new Date();
calendar.setTime(trialTime);
