    • Method Detail

      • addTransitionRule

        public void addTransitionRule​(TimeZoneRule rule)
        Adds the TimeZoneRule which represents time transitions. The TimeZoneRule must have start times, that is, the result of TimeZoneRule.isTransitionRule() must be true. Otherwise, IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
        Parameters:
        rule - The TimeZoneRule.

      • getOffset

        public int getOffset​(int era,
                     int year,
                     int month,
                     int day,
                     int dayOfWeek,
                     int milliseconds)
        Gets the time zone offset, for current date, modified in case of daylight savings. This is the offset to add *to* UTC to get local time.
        Specified by:
        getOffset in class TimeZone
        Parameters:
        era - the era of the given date.
        year - the year in the given date.
        month - the month in the given date. Month is 0-based. e.g., 0 for January.
        day - the day-in-month of the given date.
        dayOfWeek - the day-of-week of the given date.
        milliseconds - the millis in day in standard local time.
        Returns:
        the offset to add *to* GMT to get local time.

      • getOffset

        public void getOffset​(long time,
                      boolean local,
                      int[] offsets)
        Returns the time zone raw and GMT offset for the given moment in time. Upon return, local-millis = GMT-millis + rawOffset + dstOffset. All computations are performed in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The default implementation in the TimeZone class delegates to the 8-argument getOffset().
        Overrides:
        getOffset in class TimeZone
        Parameters:
        time - moment in time for which to return offsets, in units of milliseconds from January 1, 1970 0:00 GMT, either GMT time or local wall time, depending on `local'.
        local - if true, `date' is local wall time; otherwise it is in GMT time.
        offsets - output parameter to receive the raw offset, that is, the offset not including DST adjustments, in offsets[0], and the DST offset, that is, the offset to be added to `rawOffset' to obtain the total offset between local and GMT time, in offsets[1]. If DST is not in effect, the DST offset is zero; otherwise it is a positive value, typically one hour.

                               int nonExistingTimeOpt,
                               int duplicatedTimeOpt,
                               int[] offsets)
        Deprecated.
        This API is ICU internal only.
        Returns time zone offsets from local wall time.
        Overrides:
        getOffsetFromLocal in class BasicTimeZone

      • getRawOffset

        public int getRawOffset()
        Gets unmodified offset, NOT modified in case of daylight savings. This is the offset to add *to* UTC to get local time.
        Specified by:
        getRawOffset in class TimeZone
        Returns:
        the unmodified offset to add *to* UTC to get local time.

      • inDaylightTime

        public boolean inDaylightTime​(Date date)
        Queries if the given date is in daylight savings time in this time zone.
        Specified by:
        inDaylightTime in class TimeZone
        Parameters:
        date - the given Date.
        Returns:
        true if the given date is in daylight savings time, false, otherwise.

      • setRawOffset

        public void setRawOffset​(int offsetMillis)
        Sets the base time zone offset to GMT. This is the offset to add *to* UTC to get local time.
        Specified by:
        setRawOffset in class TimeZone
        Parameters:
        offsetMillis - the given base time zone offset to GMT.

      • useDaylightTime

        public boolean useDaylightTime()
        Queries if this time zone uses daylight savings time.
        Specified by:
        useDaylightTime in class TimeZone
        Returns:
        true if this time zone uses daylight savings time, false, otherwise.

        Note:The default implementation of ICU TimeZone uses the tz database, which supports historic rule changes, for system time zones. With the implementation, there are time zones that used daylight savings time in the past, but no longer used currently. For example, Asia/Tokyo has never used daylight savings time since 1951. Most clients would expect that this method to return false for such case. The default implementation of this method returns true when the time zone uses daylight savings time in the current (Gregorian) calendar year.

      • observesDaylightTime

        public boolean observesDaylightTime()
        Queries if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.

        The default implementation in this class returns true if TimeZone.useDaylightTime() or inDaylightTime(new Date()) returns true.

        Note: This method was added for JDK compatibility support. The JDK's useDaylightTime() only checks the last known rule(s), therefore it may return false even the zone observes daylight saving time currently. JDK added observesDaylightTime() to resolve the issue. In ICU, TimeZone.useDaylightTime() works differently. The ICU implementation checks if the zone uses daylight saving time in the current calendar year. Therefore, it will never return false if daylight saving time is currently used.

        ICU's TimeZone subclass implementations override this method to support the same behavior with JDK's observesDaylightSavingTime(). Unlike TimeZone.useDaylightTime(), the implementation does not take past daylight saving time into account, so that this method may return false even when TimeZone.useDaylightTime() returns true.

        Overrides:
        observesDaylightTime in class TimeZone
        Returns:
        true if this time zone is in daylight saving time or will observe daylight saving time at any future time.
        See Also:
        TimeZone.useDaylightTime()

      • hasSameRules

        public boolean hasSameRules​(TimeZone other)
        Returns true if this zone has the same rule and offset as another zone. That is, if this zone differs only in ID, if at all. Returns false if the other zone is null.
        Overrides:
        hasSameRules in class TimeZone
        Parameters:
        other - the TimeZone object to be compared with
        Returns:
        true if the other zone is not null and is the same as this one, with the possible exception of the ID

      • getTimeZoneRules

        public TimeZoneRule[] getTimeZoneRules()
        Returns the array of TimeZoneRule which represents the rule of this time zone object. The first element in the result array will be the InitialTimeZoneRule instance for the initial rule. The rest will be either AnnualTimeZoneRule or TimeArrayTimeZoneRule instances representing transitions.
        Specified by:
        getTimeZoneRules in class BasicTimeZone
        Returns:
        The array of TimeZoneRule which represents this time zone.

                                                boolean inclusive)
