Method Detail

getDateTimeString

public static String getDateTimeString(org.joda.time.DateTime date,
                                       String pattern)

Returns a string containing the date and/or time from the DateTime. The format of the returned string is defined by the pattern. (e.g. "dd.MM.YYYY hh.mm.ss" for "26.8.2009 08.26.52")

Parameters:

date - is the DateTime to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a string with the date/time in the specified format

getLocalDateString

public static String getLocalDateString(org.joda.time.LocalDate date,
                                        String pattern)

Returns a string containing the date in a LocalDate. The format of the returned string is defined by the pattern. Attention: any time related characters in the pattern will be set to 0. (e.g. 'mm' in the pattern will result in a '00' as there is no time in a LocalDate.

Parameters:

date - is the LocalDate to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a string with the date in the format specified by pattern

getLocalTimeString

public static String getLocalTimeString(org.joda.time.LocalTime time,
                                        String pattern)

Returns a string containing the time in a LocalTime. The format of the returned string is defined by the pattern. Attention: any date related characters will be set to 0. (e.g. 'MM' in the pattern will result in a '00').

Parameters:

time - is the LocalTime to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a string with the time in the format specified by pattern

parseDateTime

public static org.joda.time.DateTime parseDateTime(String dateTime,
                                                   String pattern)

Returns a DateTime containing the date/time in the string. The dateTime string must match the pattern so that all values can be set.

Parameters:

dateTime - is the string to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a DateTime object that contains all values that could be matched

parseLocalDate

public static org.joda.time.LocalDate parseLocalDate(String date,
                                                     String pattern)

Returns a LocalDate containing the date in the string. The date string must match the pattern so that all values can be set.

Parameters:

date - is the string to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a LocalDate object that contains all values that could be matched

parseLocalTime

public static org.joda.time.LocalTime parseLocalTime(String time,
                                                     String pattern)

Returns a LocalTime containing the time in the string. The date string must match the pattern so that all values can be set.

Parameters:

time - is the string to process

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a LocalTime object that contains all values that could be matched

parseDateTime

public static org.joda.time.DateTime parseDateTime(String dateTime,
                                                   String pattern,
                                                   Locale locale)

Returns a localized DateTime containing the time in the string. The dateTime string must match the pattern so that all values can be set.

Parameters:

dateTime - is the string to process

locale - is the local which is applied to the returned DateTime object

pattern - is the pattern to apply

Returns:

a DateTime object that contains all values that could be matched

mergeLocalDateAndLocalTime

public static org.joda.time.DateTime mergeLocalDateAndLocalTime(org.joda.time.LocalDate date,
                                                                org.joda.time.LocalTime time)

Creates a DateTime out of a LocalDate and a LocalTime.

Parameters:

date - is the LocalDate containing the desired date

time - is the LocalTime containing the desired time

Returns:

a new DateTime which is created out of the two arguments

setTimeOfDateTime

public static org.joda.time.DateTime setTimeOfDateTime(org.joda.time.DateTime dateTime,
                                                       org.joda.time.LocalTime time)

Changes the time (but not the date) of a DateTime to the time in a LocalTime.

Parameters:

dateTime - is the DateTime to set

time - is the time time to set to

Returns:

a DateTime object with the date of dateTime and the time of time

setDateOfDateTime

public static org.joda.time.DateTime setDateOfDateTime(org.joda.time.DateTime dateTime,
                                                       org.joda.time.LocalDate date)

Sets the Date (but not the time) of a DateTime to the value in date.

Parameters:

dateTime - is the DateTime for which we set the date

date - is the LocalDate to set the date to

Returns:

a DateTime object with the date of date and the time of dateTime
