Class DateTimeZoneBuilder


public class DateTimeZoneBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

DateTimeZoneBuilder allows complex DateTimeZones to be constructed. Since creating a new DateTimeZone this way is a relatively expensive operation, built zones can be written to a file. Reading back the encoded data is a quick operation.

DateTimeZoneBuilder itself is mutable and not thread-safe, but the DateTimeZone objects that it builds are thread-safe and immutable.

It is intended that ZoneInfoCompiler be used to read time zone data files, indirectly calling DateTimeZoneBuilder. The following complex example defines the America/Los_Angeles time zone, with all historical transitions:

 DateTimeZone America_Los_Angeles = new DateTimeZoneBuilder()
     .addCutover(-2147483648, 'w', 1, 1, 0, false, 0)
     .setStandardOffset(-28378000)
     .setFixedSavings("LMT", 0)
     .addCutover(1883, 'w', 11, 18, 0, false, 43200000)
     .setStandardOffset(-28800000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PDT", 3600000, 1918, 1919, 'w',  3, -1, 7, false, 7200000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PST",       0, 1918, 1919, 'w', 10, -1, 7, false, 7200000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PWT", 3600000, 1942, 1942, 'w',  2,  9, 0, false, 7200000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PPT", 3600000, 1945, 1945, 'u',  8, 14, 0, false, 82800000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PST",       0, 1945, 1945, 'w',  9, 30, 0, false, 7200000)
     .addRecurringSavings("PDT", 3600000, 1948, 1948, 'w',  3, 14, 0, false, 7200000)

     .addRecurringSavings("PST",       0, 1950, 1961, 'w',  9, -1, 7, false, 7200000)

Method Details

addCutover

public DateTimeZoneBuilder addCutover(int year,
                                      char mode,
                                      int monthOfYear,
                                      int dayOfMonth,
                                      int dayOfWeek,
                                      boolean advanceDayOfWeek,
                                      int millisOfDay)
Adds a cutover for added rules. The standard offset at the cutover defaults to 0. Call setStandardOffset afterwards to change it.
Parameters:
year - year of cutover
mode - 'u' - cutover is measured against UTC, 'w' - against wall offset, 's' - against standard offset.
dayOfMonth - if negative, set to ((last day of month) - ~dayOfMonth). For example, if -1, set to last day of month
dayOfWeek - if 0, ignore
advanceDayOfWeek - if dayOfMonth does not fall on dayOfWeek, advance to dayOfWeek when true, retreat when false.
millisOfDay - additional precision for specifying time of day of cutover

addRecurringSavings

public DateTimeZoneBuilder addRecurringSavings(String nameKey,
                                               int saveMillis,

                                               boolean advanceDayOfWeek,
                                               int millisOfDay)
Add a recurring daylight saving time rule.
Parameters:
nameKey - name key of new rule
saveMillis - milliseconds to add to standard offset
fromYear - First year that rule is in effect. MIN_VALUE indicates beginning of time.
toYear - Last year (inclusive) that rule is in effect. MAX_VALUE indicates end of time.
mode - 'u' - transitions are calculated against UTC, 'w' - transitions are calculated against wall offset, 's' - transitions are calculated against standard offset.
dayOfMonth - if negative, set to ((last day of month) - ~dayOfMonth). For example, if -1, set to last day of month
dayOfWeek - if 0, ignore
advanceDayOfWeek - if dayOfMonth does not fall on dayOfWeek, advance to dayOfWeek when true, retreat when false.
millisOfDay - additional precision for specifying time of day of transitions
