SimpleTimeZone
is a concrete subclass of TimeZone
that represents a time zone for use with a Gregorian calendar.
The class holds an offset from GMT, called raw offset, and start
and end rules for a daylight saving time schedule. Since it only holds
single values for each, it cannot handle historical changes in the offset
from GMT and the daylight saving schedule, except that the setStartYear
method can specify the year when the daylight
saving time schedule starts in effect.
To construct a SimpleTimeZone
with a daylight saving time
schedule, the schedule can be described with a set of rules,
start-rule and end-rule. A day when daylight saving time
starts or ends is specified by a combination of month,
day-of-month, and day-of-week values. The month
value is represented by a Calendar MONTH
field
value, such as Calendar.MARCH
. The day-of-week value is
represented by a Calendar DAY_OF_WEEK
value,
such as SUNDAY
. The meanings of value combinations
are as follows.
- Exact day of month
To specify an exact day of month, set the month and day-of-month to an exact value, and day-of-week to zero. For example, to specify March 1, set the month toMARCH
, day-of-month to 1, and day-of-week to 0. - Day of week on or after day of month
To specify a day of week on or after an exact day of month, set the month to an exact month value, day-of-month to the day on or after which the rule is applied, and day-of-week to a negativeDAY_OF_WEEK
field value. For example, to specify the second Sunday of April, set month toAPRIL
, day-of-month to 8, and day-of-week to-
SUNDAY
. - Day of week on or before day of month
To specify a day of the week on or before an exact day of the month, set day-of-month and day-of-week to a negative value. For example, to specify the last Wednesday on or before the 21st of March, set month toMARCH
, day-of-month is -21 and day-of-week is-
WEDNESDAY
. - Last day-of-week of month
To specify, the last day-of-week of the month, set day-of-week to aDAY_OF_WEEK
value and day-of-month to -1. For example, to specify the last Sunday of October, set month toOCTOBER
, day-of-week toSUNDAY
and day-of-month to -1.
WALL_TIME
, STANDARD_TIME
and UTC_TIME
. For example, if daylight
saving time ends
at 2:00 am in the wall clock time, it can be specified by 7200000
milliseconds in the WALL_TIME
mode. In this case, the wall clock time
for an end-rule means the same thing as the daylight time.
The following are examples of parameters for constructing time zone objects.
// Base GMT offset: -8:00
// DST starts: at 2:00am in standard time
// on the first Sunday in April
// DST ends: at 2:00am in daylight time
// on the last Sunday in October
// Save: 1 hour

// Base GMT offset: +1:00
