Enum ThaiBuddhistEra

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ThaiBuddhistEra>, Constable, Era, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

    public enum ThaiBuddhistEra
    extends Enum<ThaiBuddhistEra>
    implements Era
    An era in the Thai Buddhist calendar system.

    The Thai Buddhist calendar system has two eras. The current era, for years from 1 onwards, is known as the 'Buddhist' era. All previous years, zero or earlier in the proleptic count or one and greater in the year-of-era count, are part of the 'Before Buddhist' era.

    2BEFORE_BE-1-545

    Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of ThaiBuddhistEra. Use getValue() instead.

    Implementation Requirements:
    This is an immutable and thread-safe enum.

        Obtains an instance of ThaiBuddhistEra from an int value.

        ThaiBuddhistEra is an enum representing the Thai Buddhist eras of BEFORE_BE/BE. This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the int value.

        Parameters:
        thaiBuddhistEra - the era to represent, from 0 to 1
        Returns:
        the BuddhistEra singleton, never null
        Throws:
        DateTimeException - if the era is invalid

        Gets the numeric era int value.

        The era BEFORE_BE has the value 0, while the era BE has the value 1.

        Specified by:
        getValue in interface Era
        Returns:
        the era value, from 0 (BEFORE_BE) to 1 (BE)

        public String getDisplayName​(TextStyle style,
                                     Locale locale)
