Some methods require some extra explanation. * The truncate and round methods could be considered the Math.floor(), * Math.ceil() or Math.round versions for dates * This way date-fields will be ignored in bottom-up order. * As a complement to these methods we've introduced some fragment-methods. * With these methods the Date-fields will be ignored in top-down order. * Since a date without a year is not a valid date, you have to decide in what * kind of date-field you want your result, for instance milliseconds or days. * </p> * * * * @author <a href="mailto:sergek@lokitech.com">Serge Knystautas</a> * @author Stephen Colebourne * @author Janek Bogucki * @author <a href="mailto:ggregory@seagullsw.com">Gary Gregory</a> * @author Phil Steitz * @author Robert Scholte * @since 2.0 * @version $Id: DateUtils.java 634096 2008-03-06 00:58:11Z niallp $ */ public class Main { //----------------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Adds a number of minutes to a date returning a new object. * The original date object is unchanged. * * @param date the date, not null * @param amount the amount to add, may be negative * @return the new date object with the amount added * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the date is null */ public static Date addMinutes(Date date, int amount) { return add(date, Calendar.MINUTE, amount); } //----------------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Adds to a date returning a new object. * The original date object is unchanged. * * @param date the date, not null * @param calendarField the calendar field to add to * @param amount the amount to add, may be negative * @return the new date object with the amount added * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the date is null */ private static Date add(Date date, int calendarField, int amount) { if (date == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("The date must not be null"); } Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.setTime(date); c.add(calendarField, amount); return c.getTime(); } }
