  • isSupported

    public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)

    Checks if the specified field is supported.

    This checks if this time can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range, get and with(TemporalField, long) methods will throw an exception.

    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields are:

    • NANO_OF_SECOND
    • NANO_OF_DAY
    • MICRO_OF_SECOND
    • MICRO_OF_DAY
    • MILLI_OF_SECOND

    • NANOS
    • MICROS
    • MILLIS
    • SECONDS
    • MINUTES
    • HOURS
    • HALF_DAYS

    All other ChronoUnit instances will return false.

    If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal) passing this as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.

    Specified by: isSupported in interface Temporal Parameters: unit - the unit to check, null returns false Returns: true if the unit can be added/subtracted, false if not

  • range

    public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)

    Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

    The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This time is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

    Specified by: range in interface TemporalAccessor Parameters: field - the field to query the range for, not null Returns: the range of valid values for the field, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the range for the field cannot be obtained UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the field is not supported

  • get

    public int get(TemporalField field)

    Gets the value of the specified field from this time as an int.

    This queries this time for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this time, except NANO_OF_DAY and MICRO_OF_DAY which are too large to fit in an int and throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

    Specified by: get in interface TemporalAccessor Parameters: field - the field to get, not null Returns: the value for the field Throws: DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an int ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • getLong

    public long getLong(TemporalField field)

    Gets the value of the specified field from this time as a long.

    This queries this time for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this time. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

    Specified by: getLong in interface TemporalAccessor Parameters: field - the field to get, not null Returns: the value for the field Throws: DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the field is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • with

    public LocalTime with(TemporalAdjuster adjuster)

    Returns an adjusted copy of this time.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the time adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.

    A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the hour field. A more complex adjuster might set the time to the last hour of the day.

    The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalAdjuster.adjustInto(Temporal) method on the specified adjuster passing this as the argument.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: with in interface Temporal Parameters: adjuster - the adjuster to use, not null Returns: a LocalTime based on this with the adjustment made, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the adjustment cannot be made ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • with

    public LocalTime with(TemporalField field, long newValue)

    Returns a copy of this time with the specified field set to a new value.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the hour, minute or second. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    If the field is a ChronoField then the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:

    • NANO_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the specified nano-of-second. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
    • NANO_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified nano-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to ofNanoOfDay(long).
    • MICRO_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified micro-of-second multiplied by 1,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
    • MICRO_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified micro-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using ofNanoOfDay(long) with the micro-of-day multiplied by 1,000.
    • MILLI_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified milli-of-second multiplied by 1,000,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
    • MILLI_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified milli-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using ofNanoOfDay(long) with the milli-of-day multiplied by 1,000,000.
    • SECOND_OF_MINUTE - Returns a LocalTime with the specified second-of-minute. The hour, minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • SECOND_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified second-of-day. The nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • MINUTE_OF_HOUR - Returns a LocalTime with the specified minute-of-hour. The hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • MINUTE_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified minute-of-day. The second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • HOUR_OF_AMPM - Returns a LocalTime with the specified hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM - Returns a LocalTime with the specified clock-hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • HOUR_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified clock-hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
    • AMPM_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified AM/PM. The hour-of-am-pm, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.

    In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a DateTimeException will be thrown.

    All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long) passing this as the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: with in interface Temporal Parameters: field - the field to set in the result, not null newValue - the new value of the field in the result Returns: a LocalTime based on this with the specified field set, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the field cannot be set UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the field is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • truncatedTo

    public LocalTime truncatedTo(TemporalUnit unit)

    Returns a copy of this LocalTime with the time truncated.

    Truncation returns a copy of the original time with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. For example, truncating with the minutes unit will set the second-of-minute and nano-of-second field to zero.

    The unit must have a duration that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on ChronoUnit and DAYS. Other units throw an exception.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Parameters: unit - the unit to truncate to, not null Returns: a LocalTime based on this time with the time truncated, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if unable to truncate UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported

  • plus

    public LocalTime plus(TemporalAmount amountToAdd)

    Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typically Duration but may be any other type implementing the TemporalAmount interface.

    The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling TemporalAmount.addTo(Temporal). The amount implementation is free to implement the addition in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to plus(long, TemporalUnit). Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: plus in interface Temporal Parameters: amountToAdd - the amount to add, not null Returns: a LocalTime based on this time with the addition made, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the addition cannot be made ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • plus

    public LocalTime plus(long amountToAdd, TemporalUnit unit)

    Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    If the field is a ChronoUnit then the addition is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:

    • NANOS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of nanoseconds added. This is equivalent to plusNanos(long).
    • MICROS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of microseconds added. This is equivalent to plusNanos(long) with the amount multiplied by 1,000.
    • MILLIS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of milliseconds added. This is equivalent to plusNanos(long) with the amount multiplied by 1,000,000.
    • SECONDS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of seconds added. This is equivalent to plusSeconds(long).
    • MINUTES - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of minutes added. This is equivalent to plusMinutes(long).
    • HOURS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of hours added. This is equivalent to plusHours(long).
    • HALF_DAYS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of half-days added. This is equivalent to plusHours(long) with the amount multiplied by 12.

    All other ChronoUnit instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

    If the field is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long) passing this as the argument. In this case, the unit determines whether and how to perform the addition.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: plus in interface Temporal Parameters: amountToAdd - the amount of the unit to add to the result, may be negative unit - the unit of the amount to add, not null Returns: a LocalTime based on this time with the specified amount added, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the addition cannot be made UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • minus

    public LocalTime minus(TemporalAmount amountToSubtract)

    Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the specified amount subtracted. The amount is typically Duration but may be any other type implementing the TemporalAmount interface.

    The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling TemporalAmount.subtractFrom(Temporal). The amount implementation is free to implement the subtraction in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to minus(long, TemporalUnit). Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully subtracted.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit subtracted. If it is not possible to subtract the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

    This method is equivalent to plus(long, TemporalUnit) with the amount negated. See that method for a full description of how addition, and thus subtraction, works.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: minus in interface Temporal Parameters: amountToSubtract - the amount of the unit to subtract from the result, may be negative unit - the unit of the amount to subtract, not null Returns: a LocalTime based on this time with the specified amount subtracted, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the subtraction cannot be made UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • query

    public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> query)

    Queries this time using the specified query.

    This queries this time using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

    The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method on the specified query passing this as the argument.

    Specified by: query in interface TemporalAccessor Type Parameters: R - the type of the result Parameters: query - the query to invoke, not null Returns: the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query) Throws: DateTimeException - if unable to query (defined by the query) ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)

  • adjustInto

    public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)

    Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same time as this object.

    This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the time changed to be the same as this.

    The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) passing ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY as the field.

    In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster): // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisLocalTime.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalTime);

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: adjustInto in interface TemporalAdjuster Parameters: temporal - the target object to be adjusted, not null Returns: the adjusted object, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if unable to make the adjustment ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

  • until

    public long until(Temporal endExclusive, TemporalUnit unit)

    Calculates the amount of time until another time in terms of the specified unit.

    This calculates the amount of time between two LocalTime objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit. The start and end points are this and the specified time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a LocalTime using from(TemporalAccessor). For example, the amount in hours between two times can be calculated using startTime.until(endTime, HOURS).

    The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two times. For example, the amount in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.

    There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal): // these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, MINUTES); amount = MINUTES.between(start, end); The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.

    The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units NANOS, MICROS, MILLIS, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS and HALF_DAYS are supported. Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.

    If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal) passing this as the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument.

    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    Specified by: until in interface Temporal Parameters: endExclusive - the end time, exclusive, which is converted to a LocalTime, not null unit - the unit to measure the amount in, not null Returns: the amount of time between this time and the end time Throws: DateTimeException - if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to a LocalTime UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    public long toEpochSecond(LocalDate date, ZoneOffset offset)

    Converts this LocalTime to the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

    This combines this local time with the specified date and offset to calculate the epoch-second value, which is the number of elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative.

    Parameters: date - the local date, not null offset - the zone offset, not null Returns: the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, may be negative Since: 9
