Enum ThaiBuddhistEra

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<ThaiBuddhistEra>, Era, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster 
public enum ThaiBuddhistEra
extends Enum<ThaiBuddhistEra>
implements Era

An era in the Thai Buddhist calendar system.

The Thai Buddhist calendar system has two eras. The current era, for years from 1 onwards, is known as the 'Buddhist' era. All previous years, zero or earlier in the proleptic count or one and greater in the year-of-era count, are part of the 'Before Buddhist' era.

Buddhist years and eras
year-of-era era proleptic-year ISO proleptic-year
2 BE 2 -542
1 BE 1 -543
1 BEFORE_BE 0 -544
2 BEFORE_BE -1 -545

Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of ThaiBuddhistEra. Use getValue() instead.

Implementation Requirements:
This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.

1.8

Method Detail

values

public static ThaiBuddhistEra[] 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 (ThaiBuddhistEra c : ThaiBuddhistEra.values())
    System.out.println(c);
Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ThaiBuddhistEra 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

of

public static ThaiBuddhistEra of​(int thaiBuddhistEra)

Obtains an instance of ThaiBuddhistEra from an int value.

ThaiBuddhistEra is an enum representing the Thai Buddhist eras of BEFORE_BE/BE. This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the int value.

Parameters:
thaiBuddhistEra - the era to represent, from 0 to 1
Returns:
the BuddhistEra singleton, never null
Throws:
DateTimeException - if the era is invalid

getValue

public int getValue()

Gets the numeric era int value.

The era BEFORE_BE has the value 0, while the era BE has the value 1.

Specified by:
getValue in interface Era
Returns:
the era value, from 0 (BEFORE_BE) to 1 (BE)

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName​(TextStyle style,
                             Locale locale)

Gets the textual representation of this era.

This returns the textual name used to identify the era, suitable for presentation to the user. The parameters control the style of the returned text and the locale.

If no textual mapping is found then the numeric value is returned.

Specified by:
getDisplayName in interface Era
Parameters:
style - the style of the text required, not null
locale - the locale to use, not null
Returns:
the text value of the era, not null
