Method Detail

getStart

AbsoluteInstant getStart()

Gets the start of this time interval, which is inclusive, as an Instant.

Specified by:

getStart in interface Interval

Returns:

the start of the time interval

getEnd

AbsoluteInstant getEnd()

Gets the end of this time interval, which is exclusive, as an Instant.

Specified by:

getEnd in interface Interval

Returns:

the end of the time interval

size

int size()

Gets the number of fields that this absolute interval supports.

Returns:

the number of fields supported

getFieldType

AbsoluteIntervalType getFieldType(int index)

Gets the field type at the specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index to retrieve

Returns:

the field at the specified index

getValue

int getValue(int index)

Gets the value at the specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index to retrieve

Returns:

the value of the field at the specified index

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

getYears

int getYears()

Gets the number of years of this absolute instant.

Returns:

the number of years

getMonths

int getMonths()

Gets the number of months of this absolute instant.

Returns:

the number of months

isAfter

boolean isAfter(AbsoluteInterval absoluteInterval)

Is this time interval after the specified interval. Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end.

Parameters:

absoluteInterval - the insterval to compare to, null means now

Returns:

true if this time interval is after the absoluteInterval

isBefore

boolean isBefore(AbsoluteInterval absoluteInterval)

Is this time interval before the specified interval. Intervals are inclusive of the start instant and exclusive of the end.

Parameters:

absoluteInterval - the insterval to compare to, null means now

Returns:

true if this time interval is before the absoluteInterval
