GregorianCalendar
is a concrete subclass of
Calendar
and provides the standard calendar system
used by most of the world.
GregorianCalendar
is a hybrid calendar that
supports both the Julian and Gregorian calendar systems with the
support of a single discontinuity, which corresponds by default to
the Gregorian date when the Gregorian calendar was instituted
(October 15, 1582 in some countries, later in others). The cutover
date may be changed by the caller by calling setGregorianChange()
.
Historically, in those countries which adopted the Gregorian calendar first,
October 4, 1582 (Julian) was thus followed by October 15, 1582 (Gregorian). This calendar models
this correctly. Before the Gregorian cutover, GregorianCalendar
implements the Julian calendar. The only difference between the Gregorian
and the Julian calendar is the leap year rule. The Julian calendar specifies
leap years every four years, whereas the Gregorian calendar omits century
years which are not divisible by 400.
GregorianCalendar
implements proleptic Gregorian and
Julian calendars. That is, dates are computed by extrapolating the current
rules indefinitely far backward and forward in time. As a result,
GregorianCalendar
may be used for all years to generate
meaningful and consistent results. However, dates obtained using
GregorianCalendar
are historically accurate only from March 1, 4
AD onward, when modern Julian calendar rules were adopted. Before this date,
leap year rules were applied irregularly, and before 45 BC the Julian
calendar did not even exist.
Prior to the institution of the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was March 25. To avoid confusion, this calendar always uses January 1. A manual adjustment may be made if desired for dates that are prior to the Gregorian changeover and which fall between January 1 and March 24.
Week Of Year and Week Year
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_YEAR
field range from 1 to 53. The first week of a
calendar year is the earliest seven day period starting on getFirstDayOfWeek()
that contains at
least getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
days from that year. It thus depends
on the values of getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
,
getFirstDayOfWeek()
, and the day of the week of January 1. Weeks
between week 1 of one year and week 1 of the following year
(exclusive) are numbered sequentially from 2 to 52 or 53 (except
for year(s) involved in the Julian-Gregorian transition).
The getFirstDayOfWeek()
and
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
values are initialized using
locale-dependent resources when constructing a
GregorianCalendar
. The week
determination is compatible with the ISO 8601 standard when
getFirstDayOfWeek()
is MONDAY
and
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4, which values are used in locales
where the standard is preferred. These values can explicitly be set by
calling setFirstDayOfWeek()
and
setMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
.
A week year is in sync with a
WEEK_OF_YEAR
cycle. All weeks between the first and last
weeks (inclusive) have the same week year value.
Therefore, the first and last days of a week year may have
different calendar year values.
For example, January 1, 1998 is a Thursday. If
getFirstDayOfWeek()
is MONDAY
and
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4 (ISO 8601 standard compatible
setting), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends
on January 4, 1998. The week year is 1998 for the last three days
of calendar year 1997. If, however, getFirstDayOfWeek()
is
SUNDAY
, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and
ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are
part of week 53 of 1997 and their week year is 1997.
Week Of Month
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_MONTH
field range from 0
to 6. Week 1 of a month (the days with WEEK_OF_MONTH =
1
) is the earliest set of at least
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
contiguous days in that month,
ending on the day before getFirstDayOfWeek()
. Unlike
week 1 of a year, week 1 of a month may be shorter than 7 days, need
not start on getFirstDayOfWeek()
, and will not include days of
the previous month. Days of a month before week 1 have a
WEEK_OF_MONTH
of 0.
For example, if getFirstDayOfWeek()
is SUNDAY
and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is 4, then the first week of
January 1998 is Sunday, January 4 through Saturday, January 10. These days
have a WEEK_OF_MONTH
of 1. Thursday, January 1 through
Saturday, January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH
of 0. If
getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek()
is changed to 3, then January 1
through January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH
of 1.

add
public void add(int field, int amount) Adds the specified (signed) amount of time to the given calendar field, based on the calendar's rules.Add rule 1. The value of
field
after the call minus the value offield
before the call isamount
, modulo any overflow that has occurred infield
. Overflow occurs when a field value exceeds its range and, as a result, the next larger field is incremented or decremented and the field value is adjusted back into its range.Add rule 2. If a smaller field is expected to be invariant, but it is impossible for it to be equal to its prior value because of changes in its minimum or maximum after
field
is changed, then its value is adjusted to be as close as possible to its expected value. A smaller field represents a smaller unit of time.HOUR
is a smaller field thanDAY_OF_MONTH
. No adjustment is made to smaller fields that are not expected to be invariant. The calendar system determines what fields are expected to be invariant.- Specified by:
add

- Parameters:
field
- the calendar field.amount
- the amount of date or time to be added to the field.- Throws:

roll
public void roll(int field, boolean up) Adds or subtracts (up/down) a single unit of time on the given time field without changing larger fields.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to December 31, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.MONTH, true)
sets the calendar to January 31, 1999. TheYEAR
field is unchanged because it is a larger field thanMONTH
.- Specified by:
roll
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
field
- the time field.up
- indicates if the value of the specified calendar field is to be rolled up or rolled down. Usetrue
if rolling up,false
otherwise.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- iffield
isZONE_OFFSET
,DST_OFFSET
, or unknown, or if any calendar fields have out-of-range values in non-lenient mode.- See Also:
-
roll
public void roll(int field, int amount) Adds a signed amount to the specified calendar field without changing larger fields. A negative roll amount means to subtract from field without changing larger fields. If the specified amount is 0, this method performs nothing.This method calls
Calendar.complete()
before adding the amount so that all the calendar fields are normalized. If there is any calendar field having an out-of-range value in non-lenient mode, then anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to August 31, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.MONTH, 8)
sets the calendar to April 30, 1999. Using aGregorianCalendar
, theDAY_OF_MONTH
field cannot be 31 in the month April.DAY_OF_MONTH
is set to the closest possible value, 30. TheYEAR
field maintains the value of 1999 because it is a larger field thanMONTH
.Example: Consider a
GregorianCalendar
originally set to Sunday June 6, 1999. Callingroll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Tuesday June 1, 1999, whereas callingadd(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH, -1)
sets the calendar to Sunday May 30, 1999. This is because the roll rule imposes an additional constraint: TheMONTH
must not change when theWEEK_OF_MONTH
is rolled. Taken together with add rule 1, the resultant date must be between Tuesday June 1 and Saturday June 5. According to add rule 2, theDAY_OF_WEEK
, an invariant when changing theWEEK_OF_MONTH
, is set to Tuesday, the closest possible value to Sunday (where Sunday is the first day of the week).- Overrides:

method, all of the calendar fields and the instant of time value are calculated upon return.If
weekOfYear
is out of the valid week-of-year range inweekYear
, theweekYear
andweekOfYear
values are adjusted in lenient mode, or anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown in non-lenient mode.- Overrides:
setWeekDate
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
weekYear
- the week yearweekOfYear
- the week number based onweekYear
dayOfWeek
- the day of week value: one of the constants for theDAY_OF_WEEK
field:SUNDAY
, ...,SATURDAY
.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if any of the given date specifiers is invalid, or if any of the calendar fields are inconsistent with the given date specifiers in non-lenient mode- Since:

getWeeksInWeekYear
public int getWeeksInWeekYear()Returns the number of weeks in the week year represented by thisGregorianCalendar
.For example, if this
GregorianCalendar
's date is December 31, 2008 with the ISO 8601 compatible setting, this method will return 53 for the period: December 29, 2008 to January 3, 2010 whilegetActualMaximum(WEEK_OF_YEAR)
will return 52 for the period: December 31, 2007 to December 28, 2008.- Overrides:
getWeeksInWeekYear
in classCalendar
- Returns:
- the number of weeks in the week year.
- Since:
- 1.7

computeFields
protected void computeFields()Converts the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch) to calendar field values. The time is not recomputed first; to recompute the time, then the fields, call thecomplete
method.- Specified by:
computeFields
in classCalendar
- See Also:
-
computeTime
protected void computeTime()Converts calendar field values to the time value (millisecond offset from the Epoch).- Specified by:
computeTime
in classCalendar
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if any calendar fields are invalid.- See Also:
-
toZonedDateTime
Converts this object to aZonedDateTime
that represents the same point on the time-line as thisGregorianCalendar
.Since this object supports a Julian-Gregorian cutover date and
ZonedDateTime
does not, it is possible that the resulting year, month and day will have different values. The result will represent the correct date in the ISO calendar system, which will also be the same value for Modified Julian Days.- Returns:
- a zoned date-time representing the same point on the time-line as this gregorian calendar
- Since:
- 1.8
-
from
Obtains an instance ofGregorianCalendar
with the default locale from aZonedDateTime
object.Since
ZonedDateTime
does not support a Julian-Gregorian cutover date and uses ISO calendar system, the return GregorianCalendar is a pure Gregorian calendar and uses ISO 8601 standard for week definitions, which hasMONDAY
as theFirstDayOfWeek
and4
as the value of theMinimalDaysInFirstWeek
.ZoneDateTime
can store points on the time-line further in the future and further in the past thanGregorianCalendar
. In this scenario, this method will throw anIllegalArgumentException
exception.- Parameters:
zdt
- the zoned date-time object to convert- Returns:
- the gregorian calendar representing the same point on the time-line as the zoned date-time provided
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifzdt
is nullIllegalArgumentException
- if the zoned date-time is too large to represent as aGregorianCalendar
