Calendar
public static class Calendar.Builder extends Object
Calendar.Builder
is used for creating a Calendar
from various date-time parameters. There are two ways to set a Calendar
to a date-time value. One is to set the instant parameter to a millisecond offset from the Epoch. The other is to set individual field parameters, such as YEAR
, to their desired values. These two ways can't be mixed. Trying to set both the instant and individual fields will cause an IllegalStateException
to be thrown. However, it is permitted to override previous values of the instant or field parameters.
If no enough field parameters are given for determining date and/or time, calendar specific default values are used when building a Calendar
. For example, if the YEAR
value isn't given for the Gregorian calendar, 1970 will be used. If there are any conflicts among field parameters, the resolution rules are applied. Therefore, the order of field setting matters.
In addition to the date-time parameters, the locale, time zone, week definition, and leniency mode parameters can be set.
Examples
The following are sample usages. Sample code assumes that the Calendar
constants are statically imported.
The following code produces a Calendar
with date 2012-12-31 (Gregorian) because Monday is the first day of a week with the ISO 8601 compatible week parameters.
Calendar cal = new Calendar.Builder().setCalendarType("iso8601") .setWeekDate(2013, 1, MONDAY).build();
The following code produces a Japanese Calendar
with date 1989-01-08 (Gregorian), assuming that the default ERA
is Heisei that started on that day.
Calendar cal = new Calendar.Builder().setCalendarType("japanese") .setFields(YEAR, 1, DAY_OF_YEAR, 1).build();

Calendar
built from the parameters set by the setter methods. The calendar type given by the setCalendarType
method or the locale is used to determine what Calendar
to be created. If no explicit calendar type is given, the locale's default calendar is created. If the calendar type is "iso8601"
, the Gregorian change date of a GregorianCalendar
is set to Date(Long.MIN_VALUE)
to be the proleptic Gregorian calendar. Its week definition parameters are also set to be compatible with the ISO 8601 standard. Note that the getCalendarType
method of a GregorianCalendar
created with "iso8601"
returns "gregory"
.
The default values are used for locale and time zone if these parameters haven't been given explicitly.
If the locale contains the time zone with "tz" Unicode extension, and time zone hasn't been given explicitly, time zone in the locale is used.
Any out of range field values are either normalized in lenient mode or detected as an invalid value in non-lenient mode.
