Field Detail

MIDNIGHT

public static final StartOfDay MIDNIGHT

Default start of calendar day at midnight.

EVENING

public static final StartOfDay EVENING

Start of calendar day at 18:00 on previous day.

MORNING

public static final StartOfDay MORNING

Start of calendar day at 06:00 in the morning.

Method Detail

ofFixedDeviation

public static StartOfDay ofFixedDeviation(int deviation)

Obtains the start of a calendar day relative to midnight in fixed seconds.

A negative deviation is explicitly allowed and refers to the previous calendar day.

Parameters:

deviation - the deviation of start of day relative to midnight in seconds on the local timeline

Returns:

start of day

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is out of range -43200 < deviation <= 43200

3.5/4.3

definedBy

public static <T extends UnixTime> StartOfDay definedBy(ChronoFunction<CalendarDate,T> event)

Obtains the start of a calendar day as determined by given date function.

If the given function cannot determine a moment for a calendar day then an exception will be thrown. This method is most suitable for calendars whose days start on astronomical events like sunset. Example:

     HijriCalendar hijri = HijriCalendar.ofUmalqura(1436, 10, 2);
     SolarTime mekkaTime = SolarTime.ofLocation(21.4225, 39.826111);
     ZonalOffset saudiArabia = ZonalOffset.ofHours(OffsetSign.AHEAD_OF_UTC, 3);
     StartOfDay startOfDay = StartOfDay.definedBy(mekkaTime.sunset());

     // short after sunset (2015-07-17T19:05:40)
     System.out.println(
         hijri.atTime(19, 6).at(saudiArabia, startOfDay)); // 2015-07-17T19:06+03:00

     // short before sunset (2015-07-17T19:05:40)
     System.out.println(
         hijri.minus(CalendarDays.ONE).atTime(19, 5).at(saudiArabia, startOfDay)); // 2015-07-17T19:05+03:00
 

Type Parameters:

T - generic type parameter indicating the time of the event

Parameters:

event - function which yields the relevant moment for a given calendar day

Returns:

start of day

getDeviation

@Deprecated
public abstract int getDeviation(Calendrical<?,?> calendarDay,
                          TZID tzid)

Deprecated. The signature will be changed in next major release such that the type CalendarDate will be used instead of Calendrical

Yields the start of given calendar day relative to midnight in seconds.

Parameters:

calendarDay - calendar day

tzid - timezone identifier, helps to resolve an UTC-event like sunset to a local time

Returns:

nominal deviation of start of day relative to midnight in seconds on the local timeline
