public class GregorianCalendar extends Calendar
GregorianCalendar
is a concrete subclass ofCalendar
and provides the standard calendar system used by most of the world.GregorianCalendar
is a hybrid calendar that supports both the Julian and Gregorian calendar systems with the support of a single discontinuity, which corresponds by default to the Gregorian date when the Gregorian calendar was instituted (October 15, 1582 in some countries, later in others). The cutover date may be changed by the caller by callingsetGregorianChange()
.Historically, in those countries which adopted the Gregorian calendar first, October 4, 1582 (Julian) was thus followed by October 15, 1582 (Gregorian). This calendar models this correctly. Before the Gregorian cutover,
GregorianCalendar
implements the Julian calendar. The only difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendar is the leap year rule. The Julian calendar specifies leap years every four years, whereas the Gregorian calendar omits century years which are not divisible by 400.GregorianCalendar
implements proleptic Gregorian and Julian calendars. That is, dates are computed by extrapolating the current rules indefinitely far backward and forward in time. As a result,GregorianCalendar
may be used for all years to generate meaningful and consistent results. However, dates obtained usingGregorianCalendar
are historically accurate only from March 1, 4 AD onward, when modern Julian calendar rules were adopted. Before this date, leap year rules were applied irregularly, and before 45 BC the Julian calendar did not even exist.Prior to the institution of the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was March 25. To avoid confusion, this calendar always uses January 1. A manual adjustment may be made if desired for dates that are prior to the Gregorian changeover and which fall between January 1 and March 24.
Week Of Year and Week Year
Values calculated for the
WEEK_OF_YEAR
field range from 1 to 53. The first week of a calendar year is the earliest seven day period starting ongetFirstDayOfWeek()
that contains at leastgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
days from that year. It thus depends on the values ofgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
,getFirstDayOfWeek()
, and the day of the week of January 1. Weeks between week 1 of one year and week 1 of the following year (exclusive) are numbered sequentially from 2 to 52 or 53 (except for year(s) involved in the Julian-Gregorian transition).The
getFirstDayOfWeek()
andgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
values are initialized using locale-dependent resources when constructing aGregorianCalendar
. The week determination is compatible with the ISO 8601 standard whengetFirstDayOfWeek()
isMONDAY
andgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4, which values are used in locales where the standard is preferred. These values can explicitly be set by callingsetFirstDayOfWeek()
andsetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
.A week year is in sync with a
WEEK_OF_YEAR
cycle. All weeks between the first and last weeks (inclusive) have the same week year value. Therefore, the first and last days of a week year may have different calendar year values.For example, January 1, 1998 is a Thursday. If
getFirstDayOfWeek()
isMONDAY
andgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4 (ISO 8601 standard compatible setting), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. The week year is 1998 for the last three days of calendar year 1997. If, however,getFirstDayOfWeek()
isSUNDAY
, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997 and their week year is 1997.Week Of Month
Values calculated for the
WEEK_OF_MONTH
field range from 0 to 6. Week 1 of a month (the days withWEEK_OF_MONTH = 1
) is the earliest set of at leastgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
contiguous days in that month, ending on the day beforegetFirstDayOfWeek()
. Unlike week 1 of a year, week 1 of a month may be shorter than 7 days, need not start ongetFirstDayOfWeek()
, and will not include days of the previous month. Days of a month before week 1 have aWEEK_OF_MONTH
of 0.For example, if
getFirstDayOfWeek()
isSUNDAY
andgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4, then the first week of January 1998 is Sunday, January 4 through Saturday, January 10. These days have aWEEK_OF_MONTH
of 1. Thursday, January 1 through Saturday, January 3 have aWEEK_OF_MONTH
of 0. IfgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is changed to 3, then January 1 through January 3 have aWEEK_OF_MONTH
of 1.Default Fields Values

add
public void add(int field, int amount)
Adds the specified (signed) amount of time to the given calendar field, based on the calendar's rules.Add rule 1. The value of
field
after the call minus the value offield
before the call isamount
, modulo any overflow that has occurred infield
. Overflow occurs when a field value exceeds its range and, as a result, the next larger field is incremented or decremented and the field value is adjusted back into its range.Add rule 2. If a smaller field is expected to be invariant, but it is impossible for it to be equal to its prior value because of changes in its minimum or maximum after
field
is changed, then its value is adjusted to be as close as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a smaller unit of time.HOUR
is a smaller field thanDAY_OF_MONTH
. No adjustment is made to smaller fields that are not expected to be invariant. The calendar system determines what fields are expected to be invariant.- Specified by:

roll
public void roll(int field, boolean up)
Adds or subtracts (up/down) a single unit of time on the given time field without changing larger fields.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to December 31, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.MONTH, true)
sets the calendar to January 31, 1999. TheYEAR
field is unchanged because it is a larger field thanMONTH

roll
public void roll(int field, int amount)
Adds a signed amount to the specified calendar field without changing larger fields. A negative roll amount means to subtract from field without changing larger fields. If the specified amount is 0, this method performs nothing.This method calls
Calendar.complete()
before adding the amount so that all the calendar fields are normalized. If there is any calendar field having an out-of-range value in non-lenient mode, then anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to August 31, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.MONTH, 8)
sets the calendar to April 30, 1999. Using aGregorianCalendar
, theDAY_OF_MONTH
field cannot be 31 in the month April.DAY_OF_MONTH
is set to the closest possible value, 30. TheYEAR
field maintains the value of 1999 because it is a larger field thanMONTH
.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to Sunday June 6, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Tuesday June 1, 1999, whereas callingadd(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Sunday May 30, 1999. This is because the roll rule imposes an additional constraint: TheMONTH
must not change when theWEEK_OF_MONTH
is rolled. Taken together with add rule 1, the resultant date must be between Tuesday June 1 and Saturday June 5. According to add rule 2, theDAY_OF_WEEK
, an invariant when changing theWEEK_OF_MONTH
, is set to Tuesday, the closest possible value to Sunday (where Sunday is the first day of the week).- Overrides:

,getGregorianChange
andgetTimeZone
methods.For example, if the Gregorian change date is January 10, 1970 and the date of this
GregorianCalendar
is January 20, 1970, the actual minimum value of theDAY_OF_MONTH
field is 10 because the previous date of January 10, 1970 is December 27, 1996 (in the Julian calendar). Therefore, December 28, 1969 to January 9, 1970 don't exist.- Overrides:

public int getActualMaximum(int field)
Returns the maximum value that this calendar field could have, taking into consideration the given time value and the current values of thegetFirstDayOfWeek
,getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek
,getGregorianChange
andgetTimeZone
methods. For example, if the date of this instance is February 1, 2004, the actual maximum value of theDAY_OF_MONTH
field is 29 because 2004 is a leap year, and if the date of this instance is February 1, 2005, it's 28.This method calculates the maximum value of
WEEK_OF_YEAR
based on theYEAR
(calendar year) value, not the week year. CallgetWeeksInWeekYear()

getTimeZone
in classCalendar
- Returns:
- the time zone object associated with this calendar.
setTimeZone
public void setTimeZone(TimeZone zone)

Sets the time zone with the given time zone value.- Overrides:
-
setTimeZone
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
-
zone
- the given time zone.
isWeekDateSupported
public final boolean isWeekDateSupported()
Returnstrue
indicating thisGregorianCalendar
supports week dates.- Overrides:
-
isWeekDateSupported
in classCalendar
- Returns:
-
true
(always) - Since:
- 1.7
- See Also:
-
getWeekYear()
,setWeekDate(int,int,int)
,getWeeksInWeekYear()
getWeekYear
public int getWeekYear()
Returns the week year represented by thisGregorianCalendar
. The dates in the weeks between 1 and the maximum week number of the week year have the same week year value that may be one year before or after theYEAR
(calendar year) value.This method calls
Calendar.complete()
before calculating the week year.- Overrides:
-
getWeekYear
in classCalendar
- Returns:
-
the week year represented by this
GregorianCalendar
. If theERA
value isBC
, the year is represented by 0 or a negative number: BC 1 is 0, BC 2 is -1, BC 3 is -2, and so on. - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if any of the calendar fields is invalid in non-lenient mode. - Since:
- 1.7

setWeekDate
public void setWeekDate(int weekYear, int weekOfYear, int dayOfWeek)
Sets thisGregorianCalendar
to the date given by the date specifiers -weekYear
,weekOfYear
, anddayOfWeek
.weekOfYear
follows theWEEK_OF_YEAR
numbering. ThedayOfWeek
value must be one of theDAY_OF_WEEK
values:SUNDAY
toSATURDAY
.Note that the numeric day-of-week representation differs from the ISO 8601 standard, and that the
weekOfYear
numbering is compatible with the standard whengetFirstDayOfWeek()
isMONDAY
andgetMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4.Unlike the
set
method, all of the calendar fields and the instant of time value are calculated upon return.If
weekOfYear
is out of the valid week-of-year range inweekYear
, theweekYear
andweekOfYear
values are adjusted in lenient mode, or anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown in non-lenient mode.- Overrides:
-
setWeekDate
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
-
weekYear
- the week year -
weekOfYear
- the week number based onweekYear
-
dayOfWeek
- the day of week value: one of the constants for theDAY_OF_WEEK
field:SUNDAY
, ...,SATURDAY
. - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if any of the given date specifiers is invalid, or if any of the calendar fields are inconsistent with the given date specifiers in non-lenient mode - Since:
- 1.7

,Calendar.getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
getWeeksInWeekYear
public int getWeeksInWeekYear()
Returns the number of weeks in the week year represented by thisGregorianCalendar
.For example, if this
GregorianCalendar
's date is December 31, 2008 with the ISO 8601 compatible setting, this method will return 53 for the period: December 29, 2008 to January 3, 2010 whilegetActualMaximum(WEEK_OF_YEAR)
will return 52 for the period: December 31, 2007 to December 28, 2008.- Overrides:
-
getWeeksInWeekYear
in classCalendar
- Returns:
- the number of weeks in the week year.
- Since:
- 1.7
- See Also:
-
Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR
,getWeekYear()
,getActualMaximum(int)
computeFields
protected void computeFields()
Converts the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch) to calendar field values. The time is not recomputed first; to recompute the time, then the fields, call thecomplete
method.- Specified by:
-
computeFields
in classCalendar
- See Also:
-
Calendar.complete()
computeTime
protected void computeTime()
Converts calendar field values to the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch).- Specified by:
-
computeTime
in classCalendar
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if any calendar fields are invalid. - See Also:
-
Calendar.complete()
,Calendar.computeFields()
toZonedDateTime
public ZonedDateTime toZonedDateTime()
Converts this object to aZonedDateTime
that represents the same point on the time-line as thisGregorianCalendar
.Since this object supports a Julian-Gregorian cutover date and
ZonedDateTime
does not, it is possible that the resulting year, month and day will have different values. The result will represent the correct date in the ISO calendar system, which will also be the same value for Modified Julian Days.- Returns:
- a zoned date-time representing the same point on the time-line as this gregorian calendar
- Since:
- 1.8
from
public static GregorianCalendar from(ZonedDateTime zdt)
Obtains an instance ofGregorianCalendar
with the default locale from aZonedDateTime
object.Since
ZonedDateTime
does not support a Julian-Gregorian cutover date and uses ISO calendar system, the return GregorianCalendar is a pure Gregorian calendar and uses ISO 8601 standard for week definitions, which hasMONDAY
as theFirstDayOfWeek
and4
as the value of theMinimalDaysInFirstWeek
.ZoneDateTime
can store points on the time-line further in the future and further in the past thanGregorianCalendar
. In this scenario, this method will throw anIllegalArgumentException
exception.- Parameters:
-
zdt
- the zoned date-time object to convert - Returns:
- the gregorian calendar representing the same point on the time-line as the zoned date-time provided
- Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- ifzdt
is null -
IllegalArgumentException
- if the zoned date-time is too large to represent as aGregorianCalendar
- Since:
- 1.8
