    • getFirstMillisecond

      public long getFirstMillisecond()
      Returns the first millisecond of the month. This will be determined relative to the time zone specified in the constructor, or in the calendar instance passed in the most recent call to the peg(Calendar) method.
      Specified by:
      getFirstMillisecond in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The first millisecond of the month.
      See Also:

    • getLastMillisecond

      public long getLastMillisecond()
      Returns the last millisecond of the month. This will be determined relative to the time zone specified in the constructor, or in the calendar instance passed in the most recent call to the peg(Calendar) method.
      Specified by:
      getLastMillisecond in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The last millisecond of the month.
      See Also:

    • peg

      public void peg(Calendar calendar)
      Recalculates the start date/time and end date/time for this time period relative to the supplied calendar (which incorporates a time zone).
      Specified by:
      peg in class RegularTimePeriod
      Parameters:
      calendar - the calendar (null not permitted).

    • previous

      public RegularTimePeriod previous()
      Returns the month preceding this one. Note that the returned Month is "pegged" using the default calendar, obtained with RegularTimePeriod.getCalendarInstance(), irrespective of the time-zone used to peg of the current month (which is not recorded anywhere). See the peg(Calendar) method.
      Specified by:
      previous in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The month preceding this one.

    • next

      public RegularTimePeriod next()
      Returns the month following this one. Note that the returned Month is "pegged" using the default calendar, obtained with RegularTimePeriod.getCalendarInstance(), irrespective of the time-zone used to peg of the current month (which is not recorded anywhere). See the peg(Calendar) method.
      Specified by:
      next in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The month following this one.

      Tests the equality of this Month object to an arbitrary object. Returns true if the target is a Month instance representing the same month as this object. In all other cases, returns false.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object (null permitted).
      Returns:
      true if month and year of this and object are the same.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code for this object instance. The approach described by Joshua Bloch in "Effective Java" has been used here:
