    • getFirstMillisecond

      public long getFirstMillisecond()
      Returns the first millisecond of the quarter. 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 quarter.
      See Also:

    • getLastMillisecond

      public long getLastMillisecond()
      Returns the last millisecond of the quarter. 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 quarter.
      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 quarter preceding this one. No matter what time zone and locale this instance was created with, the returned instance will use the default calendar for time calculations, obtained with RegularTimePeriod.getCalendarInstance().
      Specified by:
      previous in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The quarter preceding this one (or null if this is Q1 1900).

    • next

      Returns the quarter following this one. No matter what time zone and locale this instance was created with, the returned instance will use the default calendar for time calculations, obtained with RegularTimePeriod.getCalendarInstance().
      Specified by:
      next in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The quarter following this one (or null if this is Q4 9999).

    • getSerialIndex

      public long getSerialIndex()
      Returns a serial index number for the quarter.
      Specified by:
      getSerialIndex in class RegularTimePeriod
      Returns:
      The serial index number.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
