Class ZonedDateTime
ZonedDateTime is an immutable representation of a date-time with a time-zone. This class stores all date and time fields, to a precision of nanoseconds, and a time-zone, with a zone offset used to handle ambiguous local date-times. For example, the value "2nd October 2007 at 13:45.30.123456789 +02:00 in the Europe/Paris time-zone" can be stored in a ZonedDateTime.
This class handles conversion from the local time-line of LocalDateTime to the instant time-line of Instant. The difference between the two time-lines is the offset from UTC/Greenwich, represented by a ZoneOffset.
Converting between the two time-lines involves calculating the offset using the rules accessed from the ZoneId. Obtaining the offset for an instant is simple, as there is exactly one valid offset for each instant. By contrast, obtaining the offset for a local date-time is not straightforward. There are three cases:
- Normal, with one valid offset. For the vast majority of the year, the normal case applies, where there is a single valid offset for the local date-time.
- Gap, with zero valid offsets. This is when clocks jump forward typically due to the spring daylight savings change from "winter" to "summer". In a gap there are local date-time values with no valid offset.
- Overlap, with two valid offsets. This is when clocks are set back typically due to the autumn daylight savings change from "summer" to "winter". In an overlap there are local date-time values with two valid offsets.
Any method that converts directly or implicitly from a local date-time to an instant by obtaining the offset has the potential to be complicated.
For Gaps, the general strategy is that if the local date-time falls in the middle of a Gap, then the resulting zoned date-time will have a local date-time shifted forwards by the length of the Gap, resulting in a date-time in the later offset, typically "summer" time.
For Overlaps, the general strategy is that if the local date-time falls in the middle of an Overlap, then the previous offset will be retained. If there is no previous offset, or the previous offset is invalid, then the earlier offset is used, typically "summer" time. Two additional methods, withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap() and withLaterOffsetAtOverlap(), help manage the case of an overlap.
In terms of design, this class should be viewed primarily as the combination of a LocalDateTime and a ZoneId. The ZoneOffset is a vital, but secondary, piece of information, used to ensure that the class represents an instant, especially during a daylight savings overlap.
This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. The equals method should be used for comparisons.
This class is immutable and thread-safe.

now
Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the default time-zone.Returns: the current date-time using the system clock, not nullThis will query the system clock in the default time-zone to obtain the current date-time. The zone and offset will be set based on the time-zone in the clock.
Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
-
now
Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the specified time-zone.Parameters: zone - the zone ID to use, not null Returns: the current date-time using the system clock, not nullThis will query the system clock to obtain the current date-time. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone. The offset will be calculated from the specified time-zone.
Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

now
Obtains the current date-time from the specified clock.Parameters: clock - the clock to use, not null Returns: the current date-time, not nullThis will query the specified clock to obtain the current date-time. The zone and offset will be set based on the time-zone in the clock.
Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using dependency injection.

of
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a local date and time.Parameters: date - the local date, not null time - the local time, not null zone - the time-zone, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not nullThis creates a zoned date-time matching the input local date and time as closely as possible. Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may be adjusted.
The local date and time are first combined to form a local date-time. The local date-time is then resolved to a single instant on the time-line. This is achieved by finding a valid offset from UTC/Greenwich for the local date-time as defined by the rules of the zone ID.
In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, when clocks are set back, there are two valid offsets. This method uses the earlier offset typically corresponding to "summer".
In the case of a gap, when clocks jump forward, there is no valid offset. Instead, the local date-time is adjusted to be later by the length of the gap. For a typical one hour daylight savings change, the local date-time will be moved one hour later into the offset typically corresponding to "summer".

public static ZonedDateTime of(int year, int month, int dayOfMonth, int hour, int minute, int second, int nanoOfSecond, ZoneId zone)Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a year, month, day, hour, minute, second, nanosecond and time-zone.Parameters: year - the year to represent, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEAR month - the month-of-year to represent, from 1 (January) to 12 (December) dayOfMonth - the day-of-month to represent, from 1 to 31 hour - the hour-of-day to represent, from 0 to 23 minute - the minute-of-hour to represent, from 0 to 59 second - the second-of-minute to represent, from 0 to 59 nanoOfSecond - the nano-of-second to represent, from 0 to 999,999,999 zone - the time-zone, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the value of any field is out of range, or if the day-of-month is invalid for the month-yearThis creates a zoned date-time matching the local date-time of the seven specified fields as closely as possible. Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may be adjusted.
The local date-time is resolved to a single instant on the time-line. This is achieved by finding a valid offset from UTC/Greenwich for the local date-time as defined by the rules of the zone ID.
In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, when clocks are set back, there are two valid offsets. This method uses the earlier offset typically corresponding to "summer".
In the case of a gap, when clocks jump forward, there is no valid offset. Instead, the local date-time is adjusted to be later by the length of the gap. For a typical one hour daylight savings change, the local date-time will be moved one hour later into the offset typically corresponding to "summer".
This method exists primarily for writing test cases. Non test-code will typically use other methods to create an offset time. LocalDateTime has five additional convenience variants of the equivalent factory method taking fewer arguments. They are not provided here to reduce the footprint of the API.

ofLocal
public static ZonedDateTime ofLocal(LocalDateTime localDateTime, ZoneId zone, ZoneOffset preferredOffset)Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a local date-time using the preferred offset if possible.Parameters: localDateTime - the local date-time, not null zone - the time-zone, not null preferredOffset - the zone offset, null if no preference Returns: the zoned date-time, not nullThe local date-time is resolved to a single instant on the time-line. This is achieved by finding a valid offset from UTC/Greenwich for the local date-time as defined by the rules of the zone ID.
In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, where clocks are set back, there are two valid offsets. If the preferred offset is one of the valid offsets then it is used. Otherwise the earlier valid offset is used, typically corresponding to "summer".
In the case of a gap, where clocks jump forward, there is no valid offset. Instead, the local date-time is adjusted to be later by the length of the gap. For a typical one hour daylight savings change, the local date-time will be moved one hour later into the offset typically corresponding to "summer".
-
ofInstant
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from an Instant.Parameters: instant - the instant to create the date-time from, not null zone - the time-zone, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the result exceeds the supported rangeThis creates a zoned date-time with the same instant as that specified. Calling ChronoZonedDateTime.toInstant() will return an instant equal to the one used here.
Converting an instant to a zoned date-time is simple as there is only one valid offset for each instant.
-
ofInstant
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from the instant formed by combining the local date-time and offset.Parameters: localDateTime - the local date-time, not null offset - the zone offset, not null zone - the time-zone, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not nullThis creates a zoned date-time by combining the LocalDateTime and ZoneOffset. This combination uniquely specifies an instant without ambiguity.
Converting an instant to a zoned date-time is simple as there is only one valid offset for each instant. If the valid offset is different to the offset specified, then the date-time and offset of the zoned date-time will differ from those specified.
If the ZoneId to be used is a ZoneOffset, this method is equivalent to of(LocalDateTime, ZoneId).
-
ofStrict
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime strictly validating the combination of local date-time, offset and zone ID.Parameters: localDateTime - the local date-time, not null offset - the zone offset, not null zone - the time-zone, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the combination of arguments is invalidThis creates a zoned date-time ensuring that the offset is valid for the local date-time according to the rules of the specified zone. If the offset is invalid, an exception is thrown.
-
from
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a temporal object.Parameters: temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null Returns: the zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if unable to convert to an ZonedDateTimeThis obtains 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 of ZonedDateTime.
The conversion will first obtain a ZoneId from the temporal object, falling back to a ZoneOffset if necessary. It will then try to obtain an Instant, falling back to a LocalDateTime if necessary. The result will be either the combination of ZoneId or ZoneOffset with Instant or LocalDateTime. 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, ZonedDateTime::from.
-
parse
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a text string such as 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00[Europe/Paris].Parameters: text - the text to parse such as "2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00[Europe/Paris]", not null Returns: the parsed zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsedThe string must represent a valid date-time and is parsed using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_ZONED_DATE_TIME.
-
parse
Obtains an instance of ZonedDateTime from a text string using a specific formatter.Parameters: text - the text to parse, not null formatter - the formatter to use, not null Returns: the parsed zoned date-time, not null Throws: DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsedThe text is parsed using the formatter, returning a date-time.
-

If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.
-
isSupported
Checks if the specified unit is supported.Specified by: isSupported in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> 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 notThis checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this date-time.

- MILLIS
- SECONDS
- MINUTES
- HOURS
- HALF_DAYS
- DAYS
- WEEKS
- MONTHS
- YEARS
- DECADES
- CENTURIES
- MILLENNIA
- ERAS
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.
-
range
Gets the range of valid values for the specified 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 supportedThe range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This date-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.
-
get
Gets the value of the specified field from this date-time as an int.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 occursThis queries this date-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 date-time, except NANO_OF_DAY, MICRO_OF_DAY, EPOCH_DAY, PROLEPTIC_MONTH and INSTANT_SECONDS 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.
-
getLong

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 date-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.
-
getOffset
Gets the zone offset, such as '+01:00'.Specified by: getOffset in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Returns: the zone offset, not nullThis is the offset of the local date-time from UTC/Greenwich.
-
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.Specified by: withEarlierOffsetAtOverlap in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the earlier offset, not nullThis 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.
-
withLaterOffsetAtOverlap
Returns a copy of this date-time changing the zone offset to the later of the two valid offsets at a local time-line overlap.Specified by: withLaterOffsetAtOverlap in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the later offset, not nullThis 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 later 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.
-
getZone
Gets the time-zone, such as 'Europe/Paris'.Specified by: getZone in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Returns: the time-zone, not nullThis returns the zone ID. This identifies the time-zone rules that determine when and how the offset from UTC/Greenwich changes.
The zone ID may be same as the offset. If this is true, then any future calculations, such as addition or subtraction, have no complex edge cases due to time-zone rules. See also withFixedOffsetZone().
-
withZoneSameLocal
Returns a copy of this date-time with a different time-zone, retaining the local date-time if possible.Specified by: withZoneSameLocal in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Parameters: zone - the time-zone to change to, not null Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the requested zone, not nullThis 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, determined using the same approach as ofLocal(LocalDateTime, ZoneId, ZoneOffset).
To change the zone and adjust the local date-time, use withZoneSameInstant(ZoneId).
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Returns a copy of this date-time with a different time-zone, retaining the instant.Specified by: withZoneSameInstant in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Parameters: zone - the time-zone to change to, not null Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the requested zone, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the result exceeds the supported date rangeThis 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).
-
withFixedOffsetZone
Returns a copy of this date-time with the zone ID set to the offset.Returns: a ZonedDateTime with the zone ID set to the offset, not nullThis returns a zoned date-time where the zone ID is the same as getOffset(). The local date-time, offset and instant of the result will be the same as in this date-time.
Setting the date-time to a fixed single offset means that any future calculations, such as addition or subtraction, have no complex edge cases due to time-zone rules. This might also be useful when sending a zoned date-time across a network, as most protocols, such as ISO-8601, only handle offsets, and not region-based zone IDs.
This is equivalent to ZonedDateTime.of(zdt.toLocalDateTime(), zdt.getOffset()).
-
toLocalDateTime

with
Returns an adjusted copy of this date-time.Specified by: with in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Specified by: with in interface Temporal Parameters: adjuster - the adjuster to use, not null Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this with the adjustment made, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the adjustment cannot be made ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occursThis returns a ZonedDateTime, based on this one, with the date-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 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". Key date-time classes also implement the TemporalAdjuster interface, such as Month and MonthDay. The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years.
For example this code returns a date on the last day of July: import static java.time.Month.*; import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.*; result = zonedDateTime.with(JULY).with(lastDayOfMonth());
The classes LocalDate and LocalTime implement TemporalAdjuster, thus this method can be used to change the date, time or offset: result = zonedDateTime.with(date); result = zonedDateTime.with(time);
ZoneOffset also implements TemporalAdjuster however using it as an argument typically has no effect. The offset of a ZonedDateTime is controlled primarily by the time-zone. As such, changing the offset does not generally make sense, because there is only one valid offset for the local date-time and zone. If the zoned date-time is in a daylight savings overlap, then the offset is used to switch between the two valid offsets. In all other cases, the offset is ignored.
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalAdjuster.adjustInto(Temporal) method on the specified adjuster passing this as the argument.

with
Returns a copy of this date-time with the specified field set to a new value.Specified by: with in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> 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 ZonedDateTime 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 occursThis returns a ZonedDateTime, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the year, month or day-of-month. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
In some cases, changing the specified field can cause the resulting date-time to become invalid, such as changing the month from 31st January to February would make the day-of-month invalid. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
If the field is a ChronoField then the adjustment is implemented here.
The INSTANT_SECONDS field will return a date-time with the specified instant. The zone and nano-of-second are unchanged. The result will have an offset derived from the new instant and original zone. If the new instant value is outside the valid range then a DateTimeException will be thrown.
The OFFSET_SECONDS field will typically be ignored. The offset of a ZonedDateTime is controlled primarily by the time-zone. As such, changing the offset does not generally make sense, because there is only one valid offset for the local date-time and zone. If the zoned date-time is in a daylight savings overlap, then the offset is used to switch between the two valid offsets. In all other cases, the offset is ignored. If the new offset value is outside the valid range then a DateTimeException will be thrown.
The other supported fields will behave as per the matching method on LocalDateTime. The zone is not part of the calculation and will be unchanged. When converting back to ZonedDateTime, if the local date-time is in an overlap, then the offset will be retained if possible, otherwise the earlier offset will be used. If in a gap, the local date-time will be adjusted forward by the length of the gap.
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 may cause the local date-time to change by an amount other than one hour. Note that this is a different approach to that used by days, months and years, thus adding one day is not the same as adding 24 hours.
For example, consider a time-zone, such as 'Europe/Paris', where the Autumn DST cutover means that the local times 02:00 to 02:59 occur twice changing from offset +02:00 in summer to +01:00 in winter.

Returns a copy of this ZonedDateTime with the specified number of nanoseconds subtracted.Parameters: nanos - the nanos to subtract, may be negative Returns: a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the nanoseconds subtracted, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if the result exceeds the supported date rangeThis operates on the instant time-line, such that subtracting one nano will always be a duration of one nano earlier. This may cause the local date-time to change by an amount other than one nano. Note that this is a different approach to that used by days, months and years.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

query
Queries this date-time using the specified query.Specified by: query in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> 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)This queries this date-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.
-
until
Calculates the amount of time until another date-time in terms of the specified unit.Specified by: until in interface Temporal Parameters: endExclusive - the end date, exclusive, which is converted to a ZonedDateTime, not null unit - the unit to measure the amount in, not null Returns: the amount of time between this date-time and the end date-time Throws: DateTimeException - if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to a ZonedDateTime UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occursThis calculates the amount of time between two ZonedDateTime objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit. The start and end points are this and the specified date-time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. For example, the amount in days between two date-times can be calculated using startDateTime.until(endDateTime, DAYS).
The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a ZonedDateTime using from(TemporalAccessor). If the time-zone differs between the two zoned date-times, the specified end date-time is normalized to have the same zone as this date-time.
The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two date-times. For example, the amount in months between 2012-06-15T00:00Z and 2012-08-14T23:59Z will only be one month as it is one minute short of two months.
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, MONTHS); amount = MONTHS.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, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES, MILLENNIA and ERAS are supported. Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.
The calculation for date and time units differ.
Date units operate on the local time-line, using the local date-time. For example, the period from noon on day 1 to noon the following day in days will always be counted as exactly one day, irrespective of whether there was a daylight savings change or not.
Time units operate on the instant time-line. The calculation effectively converts both zoned date-times to instants and then calculates the period between the instants. For example, the period from noon on day 1 to noon the following day in hours may be 23, 24 or 25 hours (or some other amount) depending on whether there was a daylight savings change or not.
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.
-
format
Formats this date-time using the specified formatter.Specified by: format in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Parameters: formatter - the formatter to use, not null Returns: the formatted date-time string, not null Throws: DateTimeException - if an error occurs during printingThis date-time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string.
-
toOffsetDateTime
Converts this date-time to an OffsetDateTime.Returns: an offset date-time representing the same local date-time and offset, not nullThis creates an offset date-time using the local date-time and offset. The zone ID is ignored.
-
equals
Checks if this date-time is equal to another date-time.Specified by: equals in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Overrides: equals in class Object Parameters: obj - the object to check, null returns false Returns: true if this is equal to the other date-time See Also:The comparison is based on the offset date-time and the zone. Only objects of type ZonedDateTime are compared, other types return false.
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()A hash code for this date-time.Specified by: hashCode in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Overrides: hashCode in class Object Returns: a suitable hash code See Also: -
toString
Outputs this date-time as a String, such as 2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00[Europe/Paris].Specified by: toString in interface ChronoZonedDateTime<LocalDate> Overrides: toString in class Object Returns: a string representation of this date-time, not nullThe format consists of the LocalDateTime followed by the ZoneOffset. If the ZoneId is not the same as the offset, then the ID is output. The output is compatible with ISO-8601 if the offset and ID are the same, and the seconds in the offset are zero.
