Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	hasNegativeDST()	This method is only a performance indicator and determines if negative daylight savings exist at all in this model.
boolean	isEmpty()	Determines if this history does not have any transitions.
static TransitionHistory	of(List<ZonalTransition> transitions)	Creates a new array-based and finite transition history.
static TransitionHistory	of(ZonalOffset standardOffset, List<DaylightSavingRule> rules)	Creates a new rule-based transition history.
static TransitionHistory	of(ZonalOffset initialOffset, List<ZonalTransition> transitions, List<DaylightSavingRule> rules)	Creates a transition history of both history transitions and rules for future transitions as well.

Method Details

of

public static TransitionHistory of(List<ZonalTransition> transitions)

Creates a new array-based and finite transition history.

Parameters:

transitions - list of zonal transitions

Returns:

new transition history

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - in any case of inconsistencies or if there are no transitions at all

Since:

2.2

of

public static TransitionHistory of(ZonalOffset standardOffset,
 List<DaylightSavingRule> rules)

Creates a new rule-based transition history.

Parameters:

standardOffset - standard offset

rules - list of daylight saving rules

Returns:

new transition history

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - in any case of inconsistencies or if there are more than 127 rules

Since:

2.2

of

public static TransitionHistory of(ZonalOffset initialOffset,
 List<ZonalTransition> transitions,
 List<DaylightSavingRule> rules)

Creates a transition history of both history transitions and rules for future transitions as well.

Parameters:

initialOffset - initial offset

transitions - list of zonal transitions

rules - list of daylight saving rules

Returns:

new transition history

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - in any case of inconsistencies or if there are more than 127 rules

Since:

2.2

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: TransitionHistory

Determines if this history does not have any transitions.

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface TransitionHistory

Returns:

true if there are no transitions else false

hasNegativeDST

public boolean hasNegativeDST()

This method is only a performance indicator and determines if negative daylight savings exist at all in this model.

The standard implementation obtains the value false.

Returns:

boolean
