LocalTime

adjustInto

fun adjustInto(temporal: Temporal!): Temporal!

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same time as this object.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the time changed to be the same as this.

The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) passing ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY as the field.

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 = thisLocalTime.adjustInto(temporal);
    temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalTime);
  

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

atDate

fun atDate(date: LocalDate!): LocalDateTime!

Combines this time with a date to create a LocalDateTime.

This returns a LocalDateTime formed from this time at the specified date. All possible combinations of date and time are valid.

atOffset

fun atOffset(offset: ZoneOffset!): OffsetTime!

Combines this time with an offset to create an OffsetTime.

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

compareTo

fun compareTo(other: LocalTime!): Int

Compares this time to another time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the local times within a day. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.

equals

fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Checks if this time is equal to another time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.

Only objects of type LocalTime are compared, other types return false. To compare the date of two TemporalAccessor instances, use ChronoField.NANO_OF_DAY as a comparator.

format

fun format(formatter: DateTimeFormatter!): String!

Formats this time using the specified formatter.

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

from

static fun from(temporal: TemporalAccessor!): LocalTime!

Obtains an instance of LocalTime from a temporal object.

This obtains a local 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 LocalTime.

The conversion uses the TemporalQueries.localTime() query, which relies on extracting the NANO_OF_DAY field.

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

get

fun get(field: TemporalField!): Int

Gets the value of the specified field from this time as an int.

This queries this 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 time, except NANO_OF_DAY and MICRO_OF_DAY 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.

getHour

fun getHour(): Int

Gets the hour-of-day field.

getLong

fun getLong(field: TemporalField!): Long

Gets the value of the specified field from this time as a long.

This queries this 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 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.

getMinute

fun getMinute(): Int

Gets the minute-of-hour field.

getNano

fun getNano(): Int

Gets the nano-of-second field.

getSecond

fun getSecond(): Int

Gets the second-of-minute field.

fun hashCode(): Int

A hash code for this time.

isAfter

fun isAfter(other: LocalTime!): Boolean

Checks if this time is after the specified time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.

isBefore

fun isBefore(other: LocalTime!): Boolean

Checks if this time is before the specified time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.

isSupported

fun isSupported(field: TemporalField!): Boolean

Checks if the specified field is supported.

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

If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields are:

• NANO_OF_SECOND
• NANO_OF_DAY
• MICRO_OF_SECOND
• MICRO_OF_DAY
• MILLI_OF_SECOND
• MILLI_OF_DAY
• SECOND_OF_MINUTE
• SECOND_OF_DAY
• MINUTE_OF_HOUR
• MINUTE_OF_DAY
• HOUR_OF_AMPM
• CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM
• HOUR_OF_DAY
• CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY
• AMPM_OF_DAY

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.

isSupported

fun isSupported(unit: TemporalUnit!): Boolean

Checks if the specified unit is supported.

This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this time. If false, then calling the plus(long,java.time.temporal.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
• MICROS
• MILLIS
• SECONDS
• MINUTES
• HOURS
• HALF_DAYS

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.

minus

fun minus(amountToSubtract: TemporalAmount!): LocalTime!

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted.

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

The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling TemporalAmount.subtractFrom(Temporal). The amount implementation is free to implement the subtraction in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to minus(long,java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit). Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully subtracted.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

minus

fun minus(
    amountToSubtract: Long, 
    unit: TemporalUnit!
): LocalTime!

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted.

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

This method is equivalent to plus(long,java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit) with the amount negated. See that method for a full description of how addition, and thus subtraction, works.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

minusHours

fun minusHours(hoursToSubtract: Long): LocalTime!

ofInstant

static fun ofInstant(
    instant: Instant!, 
    zone: ZoneId!
): LocalTime!

Obtains an instance of LocalTime from an Instant and zone ID.

This creates a local 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 time.

ofNanoOfDay

static fun ofNanoOfDay(nanoOfDay: Long): LocalTime!

plus

fun plus(amountToAdd: TemporalAmount!): LocalTime!

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

This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typically 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,java.time.temporal.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.

plus

fun plus(
    amountToAdd: Long, 
    unit: TemporalUnit!
): LocalTime!

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

This returns a LocalTime, 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. The supported fields behave as follows:

• NANOS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of nanoseconds added. This is equivalent to plusNanos(long).
• MICROS - Returns a LocalTime with the specified number of microseconds added. This is equivalent to plusNanos(long) with the amount multiplied by 1,000.

query

fun <R : Any!> query(query: TemporalQuery<R>!): R

Queries this time using the specified query.

This queries this time using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method on the specified query passing this as the argument.

range

fun range(field: TemporalField!): ValueRange!

Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This 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.

toEpochSecond

fun toEpochSecond(
    date: LocalDate!, 
    offset: ZoneOffset!
): Long

Converts this LocalTime to the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

This combines this local time with the specified date and offset to calculate the epoch-second value, which is the number of elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative.

toNanoOfDay

• HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS
• HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS

truncatedTo

fun truncatedTo(unit: TemporalUnit!): LocalTime!

Returns a copy of this LocalTime with the time truncated.

Truncation returns a copy of the original time with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. For example, truncating with the minutes unit will set the second-of-minute and nano-of-second field to zero.

The unit must have a duration that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on ChronoUnit and DAYS. Other units throw an exception.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

until

fun until(
    endExclusive: Temporal!, 
    unit: TemporalUnit!
): Long

Calculates the amount of time until another time in terms of the specified unit.

This calculates the amount of time between two LocalTime objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit. The start and end points are this and the specified time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a LocalTime using from(java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor). For example, the amount in hours between two times can be calculated using startTime.until(endTime, HOURS).

The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two times. For example, the amount in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.

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, MINUTES);
    amount = MINUTES.between(start, end);
  

The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units NANOS, MICROS, MILLIS, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS and HALF_DAYS 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.

with

fun with(adjuster: TemporalAdjuster!): LocalTime!

Returns an adjusted copy of this time.

This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the 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 hour field. A more complex adjuster might set the time to the last hour of the day.

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

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

with

fun with(
    field: TemporalField!, 
    newValue: Long
): LocalTime!

Returns a copy of this time with the specified field set to a new value.

This returns a LocalTime, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the hour, minute or second. If it is not possible to set 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 adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:

• NANO_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the specified nano-of-second. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
• NANO_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified nano-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to ofNanoOfDay(long).
• MICRO_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified micro-of-second multiplied by 1,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
• MICRO_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified micro-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using ofNanoOfDay(long) with the micro-of-day multiplied by 1,000.
• MILLI_OF_SECOND - Returns a LocalTime with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified milli-of-second multiplied by 1,000,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
• MILLI_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified milli-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using ofNanoOfDay(long) with the milli-of-day multiplied by 1,000,000.
• SECOND_OF_MINUTE - Returns a LocalTime with the specified second-of-minute. The hour, minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• SECOND_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified second-of-day. The nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• MINUTE_OF_HOUR - Returns a LocalTime with the specified minute-of-hour. The hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• MINUTE_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified minute-of-day. The second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• HOUR_OF_AMPM - Returns a LocalTime with the specified hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM - Returns a LocalTime with the specified clock-hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• HOUR_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified clock-hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
• AMPM_OF_DAY - Returns a LocalTime with the specified AM/PM. The hour-of-am-pm, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.

In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a DateTimeException will be thrown.

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.
