Constructor Detail

AnnualTimeZoneRule

public AnnualTimeZoneRule(String name,
                  int rawOffset,
                  int dstSavings,
                  DateTimeRule dateTimeRule,
                  int startYear,
                  int endYear)

Constructs a AnnualTimeZoneRule with the name, the GMT offset of its standard time, the amount of daylight saving offset adjustment, the annual start time rule and the start/until years.

Parameters:

name - The time zone name.

rawOffset - The GMT offset of its standard time in milliseconds.

dstSavings - The amount of daylight saving offset adjustment in milliseconds. If this ia a rule for standard time, the value of this argument is 0.

dateTimeRule - The start date/time rule repeated annually.

startYear - The first year when this rule takes effect.

endYear - The last year when this rule takes effect. If this rule is effective forever in future, specify MAX_YEAR.

Status:

Draft ICU 3.8.

Method Detail

getRule

public DateTimeRule getRule()

Gets the start date/time rule associated used by this rule.

An AnnualDateTimeRule which represents the start date/time rule used by this time zone rule.

Status:

Draft ICU 3.8.

getStartYear

public int getStartYear()

Gets the first year when this rule takes effect.

Returns:

getStartInYear

public Date getStartInYear(int year,
                  int prevRawOffset,
                  int prevDSTSavings)

Gets the time when this rule takes effect in the given year.

Parameters:

year - The Gregorian year, with 0 == 1 BCE, -1 == 2 BCE, etc.

prevRawOffset - The standard time offset from UTC before this rule takes effect in milliseconds.

Returns:

The time when this rule takes effect in the year, or null if this rule is not applicable in the year.

Status:

Draft ICU 3.8.

Returns:

The very first time when this rule takes effect.

Status:

Draft ICU 3.8.

getFinalStart

public Date getFinalStart(int prevRawOffset,
                 int prevDSTSavings)

Gets the final time when this rule takes effect.
