Constructor Detail

Day

public Day()
Constructs a Day, based on the system date/time.


Day

public Day(int day,
           int month,
           int year)
Constructs a new one day time period.

Parameters:
day - the day-of-the-month.
month - the month (1 to 12).
year - the year (1900 <= year <= 9999).

Day

public Day(org.jfree.date.SerialDate serialDate)
Constructs a new one day time period.

Parameters:
serialDate - the day.

Day

public Day(java.util.Date time)
Constructs a new Day, based on a particular date/time and the default time zone.

Parameters:
time - the time.

Day

public Day(java.util.Date time,
           java.util.TimeZone zone)
Constructs a Day, based on a particular date/time and time zone.

Parameters:
time - the date/time.
zone - the time zone.
Method Detail

getSerialDate

public org.jfree.date.SerialDate getSerialDate()
Returns the day as a SerialDate.

Note: the reference that is returned should be an instance of an immutable SerialDate (otherwise the caller could use the reference to alter the state of this Day instance, and Day is supposed to be immutable).

Returns:
the day as a SerialDate.

getYear

public int getYear()
Returns the year.

Returns:
the year.

getMonth

public int getMonth()
Returns the month.

Returns:
the month.

getDayOfMonth

public int getDayOfMonth()
Returns the day of the month.

Returns:
the day of the month.

previous

public RegularTimePeriod previous()
Returns the day preceding this one.

Specified by:
previous in class RegularTimePeriod
Returns:
the day preceding this one.

next

public RegularTimePeriod next()
Returns the day following this one, or null if some limit has been reached.

Specified by:
next in class RegularTimePeriod
Returns:
the day following this one, or null if some limit has been reached.

getSerialIndex

public long getSerialIndex()
Returns a serial index number for the day.

Specified by:
getSerialIndex in class RegularTimePeriod
Returns:
the serial index number.

getFirstMillisecond

public long getFirstMillisecond(java.util.Calendar calendar)
Returns the first millisecond of the day, evaluated using the supplied calendar (which determines the time zone).

Specified by:
getFirstMillisecond in class RegularTimePeriod
Parameters:
calendar - calendar to use.
Returns:
the start of the day as milliseconds since 01-01-1970.

getLastMillisecond

public long getLastMillisecond(java.util.Calendar calendar)
Returns the last millisecond of the day, evaluated using the supplied calendar (which determines the time zone).

Specified by:
getLastMillisecond in class RegularTimePeriod
Parameters:
calendar - calendar to use.
Returns:
the end of the day as milliseconds since 01-01-1970.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)
Tests the equality of this Day object to an arbitrary object. Returns true if the target is a Day instance or a SerialDate instance representing the same day as this object. In all other cases, returns false.

Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object
Parameters:
object - the object.
Returns:
a flag indicating whether or not an object is equal to this day.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o1)
Returns an integer indicating the order of this Day object relative to the specified object: negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.

Specified by:
compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable
Parameters:
o1 - the object to compare.
Returns:
negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Returns a string representing the day.

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
A string representing the day.

parseDay

public static Day parseDay(java.lang.String s)
Parses the string argument as a day.

This method is required to recognise YYYY-MM-DD as a valid format. Anything else, for now, is a bonus.

Parameters:
s - the date string to parse.
Returns:
null if the string does not contain any parseable string, the day otherwise.
