Enum Constant Detail

AM

public static final Meridiem AM

Marks the wall time from midnight (at start of day) until before noon (ante meridiem).

The numerical value is 0.

PM

public static final Meridiem PM

Marks the wall time at or after noon (post meridiem).

The numerical value is 1.

Method Detail

values

public static Meridiem[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Meridiem c : Meridiem.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Meridiem valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

ofHour

public static Meridiem ofHour(int hour)

Calculates the meridiem value dependent on given hour of day.

Parameters:

hour - ISO-hour in the range 0 <= hour <= 24

Returns:

half of day (ante meridiem or post meridiem)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the hour is out of range

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName(Locale locale)

Gets a descriptive text in given language.

Parameters:

locale - language of text to be printed

Returns:

localized text in given language

test

public boolean test(WallTime context)

Description copied from interface: ChronoCondition

Decides if given context matches this condition.

Due to better readability it is recommended to use following equivalent approach instead of this method::

  import static net.time4j.Weekday.SATURDAY;
  import static net.time4j.Month.JANUARY;

  PlainDate date = PlainDate.of(2014, JANUARY, 25);
  System.out.println(SATURDAY.test(date)); // direct use
  System.out.println(date.matches(SATURDAY)); // recommended callback
 

Specified by:

test in interface ChronoCondition<WallTime>

Parameters:

context - context as base of testing this condition

Returns:

true if given time context matches this condition else false
