Method Detail

fromUnitString

public static CalendarPeriod.Field fromUnitString(String udunit)

Convert a period string into a CalendarPeriod.Field.

Parameters:

udunit - period string

Returns:

CalendarPeriod.Field enum

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if not valid format

of

public static CalendarPeriod of(int value,
                                CalendarPeriod.Field field)

of

public static CalendarPeriod of(String udunit)

Convert a udunit period string into a CalendarPeriod

Parameters:

udunit - period string : "[val] unit"

Returns:

CalendarPeriod or null if illegal

of

public static CalendarPeriod of(TimeDuration td)

multiply

public CalendarPeriod multiply(int value)

Multiply the period by an integer

Parameters:

value - multiply by this

Returns:

new period

getValue

public int getValue()

getField

public CalendarPeriod.Field getField()

subtract

public int subtract(CalendarDate start,
                    CalendarDate end)

Subtract two dates, return difference in units of this period. If not even, will round to nearest int

Parameters:

start - start date

end - end date

Returns:

difference in units of this period

getConvertFactor

public double getConvertFactor(CalendarPeriod from)

Get the conversion factor of the other CalendarPeriod to this one

Parameters:

from - convert from this

Returns:

conversion factor, so that getConvertFactor(from) * from = this

getValueInMillisecs

public double getValueInMillisecs()

Deprecated.

dont use because these are fixed length and thus approximate.
