public enum TimeUnit extends Enum<TimeUnit>
ATimeUnit
represents time durations at a given unit of granularity and provides utility methods to convert across units, and to perform timing and delay operations in these units. ATimeUnit
does not maintain time information, but only helps organize and use time representations that may be maintained separately across various contexts. A nanosecond is defined as one thousandth of a microsecond, a microsecond as one thousandth of a millisecond, a millisecond as one thousandth of a second, a minute as sixty seconds, an hour as sixty minutes, and a day as twenty four hours.A
TimeUnit
is mainly used to inform time-based methods how a given timing parameter should be interpreted. For example, the following code will timeout in 50 milliseconds if thelock
is not available:Lock lock = ...; if (lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)) ...
Lock lock = ...; if (lock.tryLock(50L, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) ...

Method Detail
values
public static TimeUnit[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:for (TimeUnit c : TimeUnit.values()) System.out.println(c);
- Returns:
- an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
valueOf
public static TimeUnit valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)- Parameters:
-
name
- the name of the enum constant to be returned. - Returns:
- the enum constant with the specified name
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if this enum type has no constant with the specified name -
NullPointerException
- if the argument is null
convert
public long convert(long sourceDuration, TimeUnit sourceUnit)
Converts the given time duration in the given unit to this unit. Conversions from finer to coarser granularities truncate, so lose precision. For example, converting999
milliseconds to seconds results in0
. Conversions from coarser to finer granularities with arguments that would numerically overflow saturate toLong.MIN_VALUE
if negative orLong.MAX_VALUE
if positive.For example, to convert 10 minutes to milliseconds, use:
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert(10L, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
- Parameters:
-
sourceDuration
- the time duration in the givensourceUnit
-
sourceUnit
- the unit of thesourceDuration
argument - Returns:
-
the converted duration in this unit, or
Long.MIN_VALUE
if conversion would negatively overflow, orLong.MAX_VALUE
if it would positively overflow.
toNanos
public long toNanos(long duration)
Equivalent toNANOSECONDS.convert(duration, this)
.- Parameters:
-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
-
the converted duration, or
Long.MIN_VALUE
if conversion would negatively overflow, orLong.MAX_VALUE
if it would positively overflow.
toMicros
public long toMicros(long duration)
Equivalent toMICROSECONDS.convert(duration, this)
.- Parameters:
-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
-
the converted duration, or
Long.MIN_VALUE
if conversion would negatively overflow, orLong.MAX_VALUE
if it would positively overflow.
toMillis
public long toMillis(long duration)
Equivalent toMILLISECONDS.convert(duration, this)
.- Parameters:
-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
-
the converted duration, or
Long.MIN_VALUE
if conversion would negatively overflow, orLong.MAX_VALUE
if it would positively overflow.
toSeconds
public long toSeconds(long duration)
Equivalent toSECONDS.convert(duration, this)
.- Parameters:
-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
-
the converted duration, or
Long.MIN_VALUE
if conversion would negatively overflow, orLong.MAX_VALUE
if it would positively overflow.
toMinutes
public long toMinutes(long duration)
Equivalent toMINUTES.convert(duration, this)

-
the converted duration, or
Long.MIN_VALUE

- 1.6
toHours
public long toHours(long duration)
Equivalent toHOURS.convert(duration, this)
.- Parameters:
-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
-

if it would positively overflow. - Since:
- 1.6
toDays

-
duration
- the duration - Returns:
- the converted duration
- Since:

timedWait
public void timedWait(Object obj, long timeout) throws InterruptedException
Performs a timedObject.wait
using this time unit. This is a convenience method that converts timeout arguments into the form required by theObject.wait
method.For example, you could implement a blocking
poll
method (seeBlockingQueue.poll
) using:public synchronized Object poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException { while (empty) { unit.timedWait(this, timeout); ... } }
- Parameters:
-
obj
- the object to wait on -
timeout
- the maximum time to wait. If less than or equal to zero, do not wait at all. - Throws:
-
InterruptedException
- if interrupted while waiting
timedJoin
public void timedJoin(Thread thread, long timeout) throws InterruptedException
Performs a timedThread.join
using this time unit. This is a convenience method that converts time arguments into the form required by theThread.join
method.- Parameters:
-
thread
- the thread to wait for -
timeout
- the maximum time to wait. If less than or equal to zero, do not wait at all. - Throws:
-
InterruptedException
- if interrupted while waiting
sleep
public void sleep(long timeout) throws InterruptedException
Performs aThread.sleep
using this time unit. This is a convenience method that converts time arguments into the form required by theThread.sleep
method.- Parameters:
-
