(A Date object represents a specific instant in * time with millisecond precision. See * {@link Date} * for information about the Date class.) * *

* Subclasses of Calendar interpret a Date * according to the rules of a specific calendar system. The platform * provides one concrete subclass of Calendar: * GregorianCalendar. Future subclasses could represent * the various types of lunar calendars in use in many parts of the world. * *

* Like other locale-sensitive classes, Calendar provides a * class method, getInstance, for getting a generally useful * object of this type. Calendar's getInstance method * returns a Calendar object 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. * *

*
 * 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
 * 
*
* * For the time of day: * *
*
 * HOUR_OF_DAY
 * AM_PM + HOUR
 * 
*
* *

* Note: for some non-Gregorian calendars, different * fields may be necessary for complete disambiguation. For example, a full * specification of the historical Arabic astronomical calendar requires year, * month, day-of-month and day-of-week in some cases. * *

* Note: There are certain possible ambiguities in * interpretation of certain singular times, which are resolved in the * following ways: *

    *
  1. 23:59 is the last minute of the day and 00:00 is the first minute of the * next day. Thus, 23:59 on Dec 31, 1999 < 00:00 on Jan 1, 2000 < 00:01 on * Jan 1, 2000. * *
  2. Although historically not precise, midnight also belongs to "am", * and noon belongs to "pm", so on the same day, * 12:00 am (midnight) < 12:01 am, and 12:00 pm (noon) < 12:01 pm *
* *

* 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 {@link 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 field f before the * call is delta, modulo any overflow that has occurred in * field f. 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 than * DAY_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 than * HOUR.

*
* *

Example: See {@link java.util.GregorianCalendar#roll(int, int)}. * *

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.
