All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class EthiopicChronology
extends AssembledChronology

Implements the Ethiopic calendar system, which defines every fourth year as leap, much like the Julian calendar. The year is broken down into 12 months, each 30 days in length. An extra period at the end of the year is either 5 or 6 days in length. In this implementation, it is considered a 13th month.

Year 1 in the Ethiopic calendar began on August 29, 8 CE (Julian), thus Ethiopic years do not begin at the same time as Julian years. This chronology is not proleptic, as it does not allow dates before the first Ethiopic year.

This implementation defines a day as midnight to midnight exactly as per the ISO chronology. Some references indicate that a coptic day starts at sunset on the previous ISO day, but this has not been confirmed and is not implemented.

EthiopicChronology is thread-safe and immutable.

Method Detail

getInstanceUTC

public static EthiopicChronology getInstanceUTC()

Gets an instance of the EthiopicChronology. The time zone of the returned instance is UTC.

Returns:

a singleton UTC instance of the chronology

getInstance

public static EthiopicChronology getInstance()

Gets an instance of the EthiopicChronology in the default time zone.

Returns:

a chronology in the default time zone

getInstance

public static EthiopicChronology getInstance(DateTimeZone zone)

Gets an instance of the EthiopicChronology in the given time zone.

Parameters:

zone - the time zone to get the chronology in, null is default

Returns:

a chronology in the specified time zone

getInstance

public static EthiopicChronology getInstance(DateTimeZone zone,
                                             int minDaysInFirstWeek)

Gets an instance of the EthiopicChronology in the given time zone.

Parameters:

zone - the time zone to get the chronology in, null is default

minDaysInFirstWeek - minimum number of days in first week of the year; default is 4

Returns:

a chronology in the specified time zone

withUTC

public Chronology withUTC()

Gets the Chronology in the UTC time zone.

Specified by:

withUTC in class BaseChronology

Returns:

the chronology in UTC

withZone

public Chronology withZone(DateTimeZone zone)

Gets the Chronology in a specific time zone.

Specified by:

withZone in class BaseChronology

Parameters:

zone - the zone to get the chronology in, null is default

Returns:

the chronology

See Also:

ZonedChronology

getZone

public DateTimeZone getZone()

Description copied from class: BaseChronology

Returns the DateTimeZone that this Chronology operates in, or null if unspecified.

Overrides:

getZone in class AssembledChronology

Returns:

DateTimeZone null if unspecified

getDateTimeMillis

public long getDateTimeMillis(int year,
                              int monthOfYear,
                              int dayOfMonth,
                              int millisOfDay)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: BaseChronology

Returns a datetime millisecond instant, formed from the given year, month, day, and millisecond values. The set of given values must refer to a valid datetime, or else an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

The default implementation calls upon separate DateTimeFields to determine the result. Subclasses are encouraged to provide a more efficient implementation.

Overrides:

getDateTimeMillis in class AssembledChronology

Parameters:

year - year to use

monthOfYear - month to use

dayOfMonth - day of month to use

millisOfDay - millisecond to use

Returns:

millisecond instant from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the values are invalid

getDateTimeMillis

public long getDateTimeMillis(int year,
                              int monthOfYear,
