Class LocalTime

java.lang.Object
- java.time.LocalTime

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<LocalTime>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

public final class LocalTime
extends Object
implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<LocalTime>, Serializable

A time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 10:15:30.

LocalTime is an immutable date-time object that represents a time, often viewed as hour-minute-second. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value "13:45.30.123456789" can be stored in a LocalTime.

This class does not store or represent a date or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.

The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. This API assumes that all calendar systems use the same representation, this class, for time-of-day.

This is a value-based class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality (==), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of LocalTime may have unpredictable results and should be avoided. The equals method should be used for comparisons.

Implementation Requirements:: This class is immutable and thread-safe.
Since:: 1.8

Returns:: the local time, not null
Throws:: DateTimeException - if the nanos of day value is invalid

from

public static LocalTime from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

Obtains an instance of LocalTime from a temporal object.

This obtains a local 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 LocalTime.

The conversion uses the TemporalQueries.localTime() query, which relies on extracting the NANO_OF_DAY field.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, LocalTime::from.

Parameters:: temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null
Returns:: the local time, not null
Throws:: DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a LocalTime

parse

public static LocalTime parse(CharSequence text)

Obtains an instance of LocalTime from a text string such as 10:15.

The string must represent a valid time and is parsed using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_TIME.

Parameters:: text - the text to parse such as "10:15:30", not null
Returns:: the parsed local time, not null
Throws:: DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed

parse

public static LocalTime parse(CharSequence text,
                              DateTimeFormatter formatter)

Obtains an instance of LocalTime from a text string using a specific formatter.

The text is parsed using the formatter, returning a time.

Parameters:: text - the text to parse, not null; formatter - the formatter to use, not null
Returns:: the parsed local time, not null
Throws:: DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed

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
MILLI_OF_DAY
SECOND_OF_MINUTE
SECOND_OF_DAY
MINUTE_OF_HOUR
MINUTE_OF_DAY
HOUR_OF_AMPM
CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM
HOUR_OF_DAY
CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY
AMPM_OF_DAY

All other ChronoField instances will return false.

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.

Specified by:: isSupported in interface TemporalAccessor
Parameters:: field - the field to check, null returns false
Returns:: true if the field is supported on this time, false if not

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(TemporalUnit unit)

Checks if the specified unit is supported.

This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this time. If false, then calling the plus(long, TemporalUnit) and minus methods will throw an exception.

If the unit is a ChronoUnit then the query is implemented here. The supported units are:

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 nano-of-second, from 0 to 999,999,999

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).

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 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

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.

Specified by:: minus in interface Temporal
Parameters:: amountToSubtract - the amount to subtract, not null
Returns:: a LocalTime based on this time with the subtraction made, not null
Throws:: DateTimeException - if the subtraction cannot be made; ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

minus

public LocalTime minus(long amountToSubtract,
                       TemporalUnit unit)

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

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.

Returns:: a LocalTime based on this time with the nanoseconds subtracted, not null

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
