Interface ChronoZonedDateTime<D extends ChronoLocalDate>
-
- Type Parameters:
-
D
- the concrete type for the date of this date-time
- All Superinterfaces:
- Comparable<ChronoZonedDateTime<?>>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- ZonedDateTime
public interface ChronoZonedDateTime<D extends ChronoLocalDate> extends Temporal, Comparable<ChronoZonedDateTime<?>>
A date-time with a time-zone in an arbitrary chronology, intended for advanced globalization use cases.Most applications should declare method signatures, fields and variables as
ZonedDateTime
, not this interface.A
ChronoZonedDateTime
is the abstract representation of an offset date-time where theChronology chronology
, or calendar system, is pluggable. The date-time is defined in terms of fields expressed byTemporalField
, where most common implementations are defined inChronoField
. The chronology defines how the calendar system operates and the meaning of the standard fields.When to use this interface
The design of the API encourages the use ofZonedDateTime
rather than this interface, even in the case where the application needs to deal with multiple calendar systems. The rationale for this is explored in detail inChronoLocalDate
.Ensure that the discussion in
ChronoLocalDate
has been read and understood before using this interface.- Implementation Requirements:
- This interface must be implemented with care to ensure other classes operate correctly. All implementations that can be instantiated must be final, immutable and thread-safe. Subclasses should be Serializable wherever possible.

Method Detail
timeLineOrder
static Comparator<ChronoZonedDateTime<?>> timeLineOrder()
Gets a comparator that comparesChronoZonedDateTime
in time-line order ignoring the chronology.This comparator differs from the comparison in
compareTo(java.time.chrono.ChronoZonedDateTime<?>)
in that it only compares the underlying instant and not the chronology. This allows dates in different calendar systems to be compared based on the position of the date-time on the instant time-line. The underlying comparison is equivalent to comparing the epoch-second and nano-of-second.- Returns:
- a comparator that compares in time-line order ignoring the chronology
- See Also:
-
isAfter(java.time.chrono.ChronoZonedDateTime<?>)
,isBefore(java.time.chrono.ChronoZonedDateTime<?>)
,isEqual(java.time.chrono.ChronoZonedDateTime<?>)
from
static ChronoZonedDateTime<?> from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
Obtains an instance ofChronoZonedDateTime
from a temporal object.This creates a zoned date-time based on the specified temporal. A
TemporalAccessor
represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance ofChronoZonedDateTime
.The conversion extracts and combines the chronology, date, time and zone from the temporal object. The behavior is equivalent to using
Chronology.zonedDateTime(TemporalAccessor)
with the extracted chronology. Implementations are permitted to perform optimizations such as accessing those fields that are equivalent to the relevant objects.This method matches the signature of the functional interface
TemporalQuery
allowing it to be used as a query via method reference,ChronoZonedDateTime::from
.- Parameters:
-
temporal
- the temporal object to convert, not null - Returns:
- the date-time, not null
- Throws:
-
DateTimeException
- if unable to convert to aChronoZonedDateTime
- See Also:
-
Chronology.zonedDateTime(TemporalAccessor)
range
default ValueRange range(TemporalField field)
Description copied from interface:TemporalAccessor
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.All fields can be expressed as a
long
integer. This method returns an object that describes the valid range for that value. The value of this temporal object is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If the date-time cannot return the range, because the field is unsupported or for some other reason, an exception will be thrown.Note that the result only describes the minimum and maximum valid values and it is important not to read too much into them. For example, there could be values within the range that are invalid for the field.
- Specified by:

withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap
ChronoZonedDateTime<D> withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap()
Returns a copy of this date-time changing the zone offset to the earlier of the two valid offsets at a local time-line overlap.This method only has any effect when the local time-line overlaps, such as at an autumn daylight savings cutover. In this scenario, there are two valid offsets for the local date-time. Calling this method will return a zoned date-time with the earlier of the two selected.
If this method is called when it is not an overlap,
this
is returned.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

ChronoZonedDateTime<D> withZoneSameLocal(ZoneId zone)
Returns a copy of this date-time with a different time-zone, retaining the local date-time if possible.This method changes the time-zone and retains the local date-time. The local date-time is only changed if it is invalid for the new zone.
To change the zone and adjust the local date-time, use
withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId)
.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
- Parameters:
-
zone
- the time-zone to change to, not null - Returns:
-
a
ChronoZonedDateTime
based on this date-time with the requested zone, not null
withZoneSameInstant
ChronoZonedDateTime<D> withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId zone)
Returns a copy of this date-time with a different time-zone, retaining the instant.This method changes the time-zone and retains the instant. This normally results in a change to the local date-time.
This method is based on retaining the same instant, thus gaps and overlaps in the local time-line have no effect on the result.
To change the offset while keeping the local time, use
withZoneSameLocal(ZoneId)
.- Parameters:
-
zone
- the time-zone to change to, not null - Returns:
-
a
ChronoZonedDateTime
based on this date-time with the requested zone, not null - Throws:
-
DateTimeException
- if the result exceeds the supported date range
isSupported
boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)
Checks if the specified field is supported.This checks if the specified field can be queried on this date-time. If false, then calling the
range
,get
andwith(TemporalField, long)
methods will throw an exception.The set of supported fields is defined by the chronology and normally includes all
ChronoField
fields.If the field is not a
ChronoField
, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)
passingthis
as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.- Specified by:
-
isSupported
in interfaceTemporalAccessor
- Parameters:
-
field
- the field to check, null returns false - Returns:
- true if the field can be queried, false if not
isSupported
default boolean isSupported(TemporalUnit unit)
Checks if the specified unit is supported.This checks if the specified unit can be added to or subtracted from this date-time. If false, then calling the
plus(long, TemporalUnit)
andminus
methods will throw an exception.The set of supported units is defined by the chronology and normally includes all
ChronoUnit
units exceptFOREVER
.If the unit is not a
ChronoUnit
, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal)
passingthis
as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.- Specified by:
-
isSupported
in interfaceTemporal
- Parameters:
-
unit
- the unit to check, null returns false - Returns:
- true if the unit can be added/subtracted, false if not
with
default ChronoZonedDateTime<D> with(TemporalAdjuster adjuster)
Returns an adjusted object of the same type as this object with the adjustment made.This adjusts this date-time according to the rules of the specified adjuster. A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month. A selection of common adjustments is provided in
TemporalAdjusters
. These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday". The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years.Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.with(Month.JULY); // most key classes implement TemporalAdjuster date = date.with(lastDayOfMonth()); // static import from Adjusters date = date.with(next(WEDNESDAY)); // static import from Adjusters and DayOfWeek
- Specified by:
-
with
in interfaceTemporal
- Parameters:
-
adjuster
- the adjuster to use, not null - Returns:
- an object of the same type with the specified adjustment made, not null
- Throws:
-
DateTimeException
- if unable to make the adjustment -
ArithmeticException
- if numeric overflow occurs
with
ChronoZonedDateTime<D> with(TemporalField field, long newValue)
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified field altered.This returns a new object based on this one with the value for the specified field changed. For example, on a
LocalDate
, this could be used to set the year, month or day-of-month. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then changing the month to February would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
- Specified by:
-
with
in interfaceTemporal
- Parameters:
-
field
- the field to set in the result, not null -
newValue
- the new value of the field in the result - Returns:
- an object of the same type with the specified field set, not null
- Throws:
-
DateTimeException
- if the field cannot be set -
ArithmeticException
- if numeric overflow occurs
plus
default ChronoZonedDateTime<D> plus(TemporalAmount amount)
Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount added.This adjusts this temporal, adding according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a
Period
but may be any other type implementing theTemporalAmount
interface, such asDuration
.Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.plus(period); // add a Period instance date = date.plus(duration); // add a Duration instance date = date.plus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method
Note that calling
plus
followed byminus
is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.- Specified by:
-
plus
in interfaceTemporal
- Parameters:
-
amount
- the amount to add, not null - Returns:
- an object of the same type with the specified adjustment made, not null

plus
ChronoZonedDateTime<D> plus(long amountToAdd, TemporalUnit unit)
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period added.This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period added. For example, on a
LocalDate
, this could be used to add a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then adding one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
- Specified by:
-
plus
in interfaceTemporal
- Parameters:

minus
default ChronoZonedDateTime<D> minus(TemporalAmount amount)
Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount subtracted.This adjusts this temporal, subtracting according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a
Period
but may be any other type implementing theTemporalAmount
interface, such asDuration
.Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.minus(period); // subtract a Period instance date = date.minus(duration); // subtract a Duration instance date = date.minus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method
Note that calling
plus
followed byminus
is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.- Specified by:

minus
default ChronoZonedDateTime<D> minus(long amountToSubtract, TemporalUnit unit)
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period subtracted.This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period subtracted. For example, on a
LocalDate
, this could be used to subtract a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st March, then subtracting one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
