XMLGregorianCalendar

public abstract class XMLGregorianCalendar
extends Object implements Cloneable

java.lang.Object
↳	javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar

Representation for W3C XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatypes. Specifically, these date/time datatypes are dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gYear gMonth and gDay defined in the XML Namespace "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". These datatypes are normatively defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Section 3.2.7-14.

The table below defines the mapping between XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatype fields and this class' fields. It also summarizes the value constraints for the date and time fields defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D, ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats.

Date/Time Datatype Field Mapping Between XML Schema 1.0 and Java Representation
XML Schema 1.0 datatype field	Related XMLGregorianCalendar Accessor(s)	Value Range
year	`getYear()` + `getEon()` or `getEonAndYear()`	`getYear()` is a value between -(10^9-1) to (10^9)-1 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`. `getEon()` is high order year value in billion of years. `getEon()` has values greater than or equal to (10^9) or less than or equal to -(10^9). A value of null indicates field is undefined. Given that XML Schema 1.0 errata states that the year zero will be a valid lexical value in a future version of XML Schema, this class allows the year field to be set to zero. Otherwise, the year field value is handled exactly as described in the errata and [ISO-8601-1988]. Note that W3C XML Schema 1.0 validation does not allow for the year field to have a value of zero.
month	`getMonth()`	1 to 12 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`
day	`getDay()`	Independent of month, max range is 1 to 31 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`. The normative value constraint stated relative to month field's value is in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D.
hour	`getHour()`	0 to 24 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`. For a value of 24, the minute and second field must be zero per XML Schema Errata.
minute	`getMinute()`	0 to 59 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`
second	`getSecond()` + `getMillisecond()`/1000 or `getSecond()` + `getFractionalSecond()`	`getSecond()` from 0 to 60 or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`. (Note: 60 only allowable for leap second.) `getFractionalSecond()` allows for infinite precision over the range from 0.0 to 1.0 when the `getSecond()` is defined. `FractionalSecond` is optional and has a value of `null` when it is undefined. `getMillisecond()` is the convenience millisecond precision of value of `getFractionalSecond()`.
timezone	`getTimezone()`	Number of minutes or `DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED`. Value range from -14 hours (-14 * 60 minutes) to 14 hours (14 * 60 minutes).

All maximum value space constraints listed for the fields in the table above are checked by factory methods, @{link DatatypeFactory}, setter methods and parse methods of this class. IllegalArgumentException is thrown when a parameter's value is outside the value constraint for the field or if the composite values constitute an invalid XMLGregorianCalendar instance (for example, if the 31st of June is specified).

The following operations are defined for this class:

accessors/mutators for independent date/time fields

conversion between this class and W3C XML Schema 1.0 lexical representation, toString(), DatatypeFactory.newXMLGregorianCalendar(String lexicalRepresentation)
conversion between this class and GregorianCalendar, toGregorianCalendar(java.util.TimeZone, java.util.Locale, javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar), DatatypeFactory
partial order relation comparator method, compare(javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar)
equals(java.lang.Object) defined relative to compare(javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar).
addition operation with Duration instance as defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix E, Adding durations to dateTimes.

toGregorianCalendar

Added in API level 8

public abstract GregorianCalendar toGregorianCalendar ()

Convert this XMLGregorianCalendar to a GregorianCalendar.

When this instance has an undefined field, this conversion relies on the java.util.GregorianCalendar default for its corresponding field. A notable difference between XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatypes and java.util.GregorianCalendar is that Timezone value is optional for date/time datatypes and it is a required field for java.util.GregorianCalendar. See javadoc for java.util.TimeZone.getDefault() on how the default is determined. To explicitly specify the TimeZone instance, see toGregorianCalendar(java.util.TimeZone, Locale, javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar).

Field by Field Conversion from this class to `java.util.GregorianCalendar`
`java.util.GregorianCalendar` field	`javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar` field
`ERA`	`getEonAndYear().signum() < 0 ? GregorianCalendar.BC : GregorianCalendar.AD`
`YEAR`	`getEonAndYear().abs().intValue()`*
`MONTH`	`getMonth()` - `DatatypeConstants.JANUARY` + `GregorianCalendar.JANUARY`
`DAY_OF_MONTH`	`getDay()`
`HOUR_OF_DAY`	`getHour()`
`MINUTE`	`getMinute()`
`SECOND`	`getSecond()`
`MILLISECOND`	get millisecond order from `getFractionalSecond()`*
`GregorianCalendar.setTimeZone(TimeZone)`	`getTimezone()` formatted into Custom timezone id

* designates possible loss of precision during the conversion due to source datatype having higher precision than target datatype.

To ensure consistency in conversion implementations, the new GregorianCalendar should be instantiated in following manner.

Using timeZone value as defined above, create a new java.util.GregorianCalendar(timeZone,Locale.getDefault()).
Initialize all GregorianCalendar fields by calling {(@link GegorianCalendar#clear()}.
Obtain a pure Gregorian Calendar by invoking GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange( new Date(Long.MIN_VALUE)).
Its fields ERA, YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, HOUR_OF_DAY, MINUTE, SECOND and MILLISECOND are set using the method Calendar.set(int,int)

Returns
`GregorianCalendar`

See also:

toGregorianCalendar(java.util.TimeZone, java.util.Locale, XMLGregorianCalendar)

toGregorianCalendar

Added in API level 8

public abstract GregorianCalendar toGregorianCalendar (TimeZone timezone, 
                Locale aLocale, 
                XMLGregorianCalendar defaults)

Convert this XMLGregorianCalendar along with provided parameters to a GregorianCalendar instance.

Since XML Schema 1.0 date/time datetypes has no concept of timezone ids or daylight savings timezone ids, this conversion operation allows the user to explicitly specify one with timezone parameter.

To compute the return value's TimeZone field,

when parameter timeZone is non-null, it is the timezone field.
else when this.getTimezone() != FIELD_UNDEFINED, create a java.util.TimeZone with a custom timezone id using the this.getTimezone().
else when defaults.getTimezone() != FIELD_UNDEFINED, create a java.util.TimeZone with a custom timezone id using defaults.getTimezone().
else use the GregorianCalendar default timezone value for the host is defined as specified by java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().

To ensure consistency in conversion implementations, the new GregorianCalendar should be instantiated in following manner.

Create a new java.util.GregorianCalendar(TimeZone, Locale) with TimeZone set as specified above and the Locale parameter.
Initialize all GregorianCalendar fields by calling GregorianCalendar.clear()
Obtain a pure Gregorian Calendar by invoking GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange( new Date(Long.MIN_VALUE)).
Its fields ERA, YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, HOUR_OF_DAY, MINUTE, SECOND and MILLISECOND are set using the method Calendar.set(int,int)

Parameters
`timezone`	`TimeZone`: provide Timezone. `null` is a legal value.
`aLocale`	`Locale`: provide explicit Locale. Use default GregorianCalendar locale if value is `null`.
`defaults`	`XMLGregorianCalendar`: provide default field values to use when corresponding field for this instance is FIELD_UNDEFINED or null. If `defaults`is `null` or a field within the specified `defaults` is undefined, just use `java.util.GregorianCalendar` defaults.

Returns
`GregorianCalendar`	a java.util.GregorianCalendar conversion of this instance.

Added in API level 8

public String toString ()

Returns a String representation of this XMLGregorianCalendar Object.

The result is a lexical representation generated by toXMLFormat().

Returns
`String`	A non-`null` valid `String` representation of this `XMLGregorianCalendar`.

Throws
`IllegalStateException`	if the combination of set fields does not match one of the eight defined XML Schema builtin date/time datatypes.
