java.time.LocalDateTime
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<ChronoLocalDateTime<?>>, ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster
public final class LocalDateTime extends Object implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>, Serializable
A date-time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 2007-12-03T10:15:30.

LocalDateTime is an immutable date-time object that represents a date-time, often viewed as year-month-day-hour-minute-second. Other date and time fields, such as day-of-year, day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value "2nd October 2007 at 13:45.30.123456789" can be stored in a LocalDateTime.

This class does not store or represent a time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays, combined with the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.

The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time. For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable. However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.

This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. The equals method should be used for comparisons.

Implementation Requirements:
This class is immutable and thread-safe.

  • Field Details

    • MIN

      public static final LocalDateTime MIN
      The minimum supported LocalDateTime, '-999999999-01-01T00:00:00'. This is the local date-time of midnight at the start of the minimum date. This combines LocalDate.MIN and LocalTime.MIN. This could be used by an application as a "far past" date-time.

    • MAX

      public static final LocalDateTime MAX
      The maximum supported LocalDateTime, '+999999999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999'. This is the local date-time just before midnight at the end of the maximum date. This combines LocalDate.MAX and LocalTime.MAX. This could be used by an application as a "far future" date-time.

  • Method Details

    • now

      public static LocalDateTime now()
      Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the default time-zone.

      This will query the system clock in the default time-zone to obtain the current date-time.

      Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

      Returns:
      the current date-time using the system clock and default time-zone, not null

    • now

      public static LocalDateTime now(ZoneId zone)
      Obtains the current date-time from the system clock in the specified time-zone.

      This will query the system clock to obtain the current date-time. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.

      Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

      Parameters:
      zone - the zone ID to use, not null
      Returns:
      the current date-time using the system clock, not null

    • now

      public static LocalDateTime now(Clock clock)
      Obtains the current date-time from the specified clock.

      This will query the specified clock to obtain the current date-time. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using dependency injection.

      Parameters:
      clock - the clock to use, not null
      Returns:
      the current date-time, not null

      This creates a local date-time based on the specified instant. First, the offset from UTC/Greenwich is obtained using the zone ID and instant, which is simple as there is only one valid offset for each instant. Then, the instant and offset are used to calculate the local date-time.

      Parameters:
      instant - the instant to create the date-time from, not null
      zone - the time-zone, which may be an offset, not null
      Returns:

    • ofEpochSecond

      public static LocalDateTime ofEpochSecond(long epochSecond, int nanoOfSecond, ZoneOffset offset)
      Obtains an instance of LocalDateTime using seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

      This allows the epoch-second field to be converted to a local date-time. This is primarily intended for low-level conversions rather than general application usage.

      Parameters:
      epochSecond - the number of seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
      nanoOfSecond - the nanosecond within the second, from 0 to 999,999,999
      offset - the zone offset, not null
      Returns:
      the local date-time, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if the result exceeds the supported range, or if the nano-of-second is invalid

    • from

      public static LocalDateTime from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
      Obtains an instance of LocalDateTime from a temporal object.

      This obtains a local date-time based on the specified temporal. A TemporalAccessor represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of LocalDateTime.

      The conversion extracts and combines the LocalDate and the LocalTime from the temporal object. Implementations are permitted to perform optimizations such as accessing those fields that are equivalent to the relevant objects.

      This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, LocalDateTime::from.

      Parameters:
      temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null
      Returns:
      the local date-time, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a LocalDateTime

      text - the text to parse, not null
      formatter - the formatter to use, not null
      Returns:
      the parsed local date-time, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed

    • isSupported

      public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)
      Checks if the specified field is supported.

      This checks if this date-time can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range, get and with(TemporalField, long) methods will throw an exception.

      All other ChronoField instances will return false.

      If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
      isSupported in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Specified by:
      isSupported in interface TemporalAccessor
      Parameters:

      true if the field is supported on this date-time, false if not

    • isSupported

      public boolean isSupported(TemporalUnit unit)
      Checks if the specified unit is supported.

      This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this date-time. If false, then calling the plus(long, TemporalUnit) and minus methods will throw an exception.

      If the unit is a ChronoUnit then the query is implemented here. The supported units are:

      • NANOS

      • ERAS
      All other ChronoUnit instances will return false.

      If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal) passing this as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.

      Specified by:
      isSupported in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Specified by:
      isSupported in interface Temporal
      Parameters:
      unit - the unit to check, null returns false
      Returns:
      true if the unit can be added/subtracted, false if not

    • range

      public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)
      Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

      The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This date-time is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

      If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
      range in interface TemporalAccessor
      Parameters:
      field - the field to query the range for, not null
      Returns:
      the range of valid values for the field, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if the range for the field cannot be obtained
      UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the field is not supported

    • get

      public int get(TemporalField field)
      Gets the value of the specified field from this date-time as an int.

      This queries this date-time for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this date-time, except NANO_OF_DAY, MICRO_OF_DAY, EPOCH_DAY and PROLEPTIC_MONTH which are too large to fit in an int and throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

      If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
      get in interface TemporalAccessor
      Parameters:
      field - the field to get, not null
      Returns:
      the value for the field
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field

      ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    • getLong

      public long getLong(TemporalField field)
      Gets the value of the specified field from this date-time as a long.

      This queries this date-time for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this date-time. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

      If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
      getLong in interface TemporalAccessor
      Parameters:
      field - the field to get, not null
      Returns:
      the value for the field

    • with

      public LocalDateTime with(TemporalAdjuster adjuster)
      Returns an adjusted copy of this date-time.

      This returns a LocalDateTime, based on this one, with the date-time adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.

      A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month.

      A selection of common adjustments is provided in TemporalAdjusters. These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday". Key date-time classes also implement the TemporalAdjuster interface, such as Month and MonthDay. The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years.

      For example this code returns a date on the last day of July: 

        import static java.time.Month.*;
  import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.*;

  result = localDateTime.with(JULY).with(lastDayOfMonth());

      The classes LocalDate and LocalTime implement TemporalAdjuster, thus this method can be used to change the date, time or offset: 

        result = localDateTime.with(date);
  result = localDateTime.with(time);

      The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalAdjuster.adjustInto(Temporal) method on the specified adjuster passing this as the argument.

      Specified by:
      with in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Specified by:
      with in interface Temporal
      Parameters:
      adjuster - the adjuster to use, not null
      Returns:
      a LocalDateTime based on this with the adjustment made, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if the adjustment cannot be made
      ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    • with

      public LocalDateTime with(TemporalField field, long newValue)
      Returns a copy of this date-time with the specified field set to a new value.

      This returns a LocalDateTime, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the year, month or day-of-month. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      In some cases, changing the specified field can cause the resulting date-time to become invalid, such as changing the month from 31st January to February would make the day-of-month invalid. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.

      If the field is a ChronoField then the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields will behave as per the matching method on LocalDate or LocalTime. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException.

      If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long) passing this as the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant.

      Returns a copy of this date-time with the specified amount added.

      This returns a LocalDateTime, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typically Period or Duration but may be any other type implementing the TemporalAmount interface.

      The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling TemporalAmount.addTo(Temporal). The amount implementation is free to implement the addition in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to plus(long, TemporalUnit). Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added.

      This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

      Specified by:
      plus in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Specified by:

      ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    • plus

      public LocalDateTime plus(long amountToAdd, TemporalUnit unit)
      Returns a copy of this date-time with the specified amount added.

      This returns a LocalDateTime, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a ChronoUnit then the addition is implemented here. Date units are added as per LocalDate.plus(long, TemporalUnit). Time units are added as per LocalTime.plus(long, TemporalUnit) with any overflow in days added equivalent to using plusDays(long).

      If the field is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long) passing this as the argument. In this case, the unit determines whether and how to perform the addition.

      This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

      Specified by:
      plus in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>

      The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) twice, passing ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY and ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY as the fields.

      In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster): 

         // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
   temporal = thisLocalDateTime.adjustInto(temporal);
   temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalDateTime);

      ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    • until

      public long until(Temporal endExclusive, TemporalUnit unit)
      Calculates the amount of time until another date-time in terms of the specified unit.

      This calculates the amount of time between two LocalDateTime objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit. The start and end points are this and the specified date-time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a LocalDateTime using from(TemporalAccessor). For example, the amount in days between two date-times can be calculated using startDateTime.until(endDateTime, DAYS).

      The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two date-times. For example, the amount in months between 2012-06-15T00:00 and 2012-08-14T23:59 will only be one month as it is one minute short of two months.

      There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal): 

         // these two lines are equivalent
   amount = start.until(end, MONTHS);
   amount = MONTHS.between(start, end);
      The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.

      The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units NANOS, MICROS, MILLIS, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS and HALF_DAYS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES, MILLENNIA and ERAS are supported. Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.

      If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal) passing this as the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument.

      This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

      Specified by:
      until in interface Temporal
      Parameters:
      endExclusive - the end date, exclusive, which is converted to a LocalDateTime, not null
      unit - the unit to measure the amount in, not null
      Returns:
      the amount of time between this date-time and the end date-time
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to a LocalDateTime
      UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported
      ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    • format

      public String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter)
      Formats this date-time using the specified formatter.

      This date-time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string.

      Specified by:
      format in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      formatter - the formatter to use, not null
      Returns:
      the formatted date-time string, not null
      Throws:
      DateTimeException - if an error occurs during printing

    • atOffset

      public OffsetDateTime atOffset(ZoneOffset offset)
      Combines this date-time with an offset to create an OffsetDateTime.

      This returns an OffsetDateTime formed from this date-time at the specified offset. All possible combinations of date-time and offset are valid.

      Parameters:
      offset - the offset to combine with, not null
      Returns:
      the offset date-time formed from this date-time and the specified offset, not null

    • atZone

      public ZonedDateTime atZone(ZoneId zone)
      Combines this date-time with a time-zone to create a ZonedDateTime.

      This returns a ZonedDateTime formed from this date-time at the specified time-zone. The result will match this date-time as closely as possible. Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may be adjusted.

      The local date-time is resolved to a single instant on the time-line. This is achieved by finding a valid offset from UTC/Greenwich for the local date-time as defined by the rules of the zone ID.

      In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, where clocks are set back, there are two valid offsets. This method uses the earlier offset typically corresponding to "summer".

      In the case of a gap, where clocks jump forward, there is no valid offset. Instead, the local date-time is adjusted to be later by the length of the gap. For a typical one hour daylight savings change, the local date-time will be moved one hour later into the offset typically corresponding to "summer".

      To obtain the later offset during an overlap, call ZonedDateTime.withLaterOffsetAtOverlap() on the result of this method. To throw an exception when there is a gap or overlap, use ZonedDateTime.ofStrict(LocalDateTime, ZoneOffset, ZoneId).

      Specified by:
      atZone in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      zone - the time-zone to use, not null
      Returns:
      the zoned date-time formed from this date-time, not null

    • compareTo

      public int compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime<?> other)
      Compares this date-time to another date-time.

      The comparison is primarily based on the date-time, from earliest to latest. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.

      If all the date-times being compared are instances of LocalDateTime, then the comparison will be entirely based on the date-time. If some dates being compared are in different chronologies, then the chronology is also considered, see ChronoLocalDateTime.compareTo(java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDateTime<?>).

      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable<ChronoLocalDateTime<?>>
      Parameters:
      other - the other date-time to compare to, not null
      Returns:
      the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater

    • isAfter

      public boolean isAfter(ChronoLocalDateTime<?> other)
      Checks if this date-time is after the specified date-time.

      This checks to see if this date-time represents a point on the local time-line after the other date-time. 

         LocalDate a = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 6, 30, 12, 00);
   LocalDate b = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 7, 1, 12, 00);
   a.isAfter(b) == false
   a.isAfter(a) == false
   b.isAfter(a) == true

      This method only considers the position of the two date-times on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime), but is the same approach as ChronoLocalDateTime.timeLineOrder().

      Specified by:
      isAfter in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      other - the other date-time to compare to, not null
      Returns:
      true if this date-time is after the specified date-time

    • isBefore

      public boolean isBefore(ChronoLocalDateTime<?> other)
      Checks if this date-time is before the specified date-time.

      This checks to see if this date-time represents a point on the local time-line before the other date-time. 

         LocalDate a = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 6, 30, 12, 00);
   LocalDate b = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 7, 1, 12, 00);
   a.isBefore(b) == true
   a.isBefore(a) == false
   b.isBefore(a) == false

      This method only considers the position of the two date-times on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime), but is the same approach as ChronoLocalDateTime.timeLineOrder().

      Specified by:
      isBefore in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      other - the other date-time to compare to, not null
      Returns:
      true if this date-time is before the specified date-time

    • isEqual

      public boolean isEqual(ChronoLocalDateTime<?> other)
      Checks if this date-time is equal to the specified date-time.

      This checks to see if this date-time represents the same point on the local time-line as the other date-time. 

         LocalDate a = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 6, 30, 12, 00);
   LocalDate b = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 7, 1, 12, 00);
   a.isEqual(b) == false
   a.isEqual(a) == true
   b.isEqual(a) == false

      This method only considers the position of the two date-times on the local time-line. It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system. This is different from the comparison in compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime), but is the same approach as ChronoLocalDateTime.timeLineOrder().

      Specified by:
      isEqual in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      other - the other date-time to compare to, not null

      Specified by:
      equals in interface ChronoLocalDateTime<LocalDate>
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to check, null returns false
