Field Detail

formatStr

protected final String formatStr

The SimpleDateFormat format string used for parsing dates.

Method Detail

values

public static ICalDateFormat[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ICalDateFormat c : ICalDateFormat.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ICalDateFormat valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

matches

public boolean matches(String dateStr)

Determines whether a date string is in this ISO format.

Parameters:

dateStr - the date string

Returns:

true if it matches the date format, false if not

getDateFormat

public DateFormat getDateFormat()

Builds a DateFormat object for parsing and formating dates in this ISO format.

Returns:

the DateFormat object

getDateFormat

public DateFormat getDateFormat(TimeZone timezone)

Builds a DateFormat object for parsing and formating dates in this ISO format.

Parameters:

timezone - the timezone the date is in or null for the default timezone

Returns:

the DateFormat object

format

public String format(Date date)

Formats a date in this ISO format.

Parameters:

date - the date to format

Returns:

the date string

format

public String format(Date date,
            TimeZone timezone)

Formats a date in this ISO format.

Parameters:

date - the date to format

timezone - the timezone to format the date in or null for the default timezone

Returns:

the date string

find

public static ICalDateFormat find(String dateStr)

Determines the ISO format a date string is in.

Parameters:

dateStr - the date string (e.g. "20140322T120000Z")

Returns:

the ISO format (e.g. DATETIME_BASIC) or null if not found

parse

public static Date parse(String dateStr)

Parses an iCalendar date.

Parameters:

dateStr - the date string to parse (e.g. "20130609T181023Z")

Returns:

the parsed date

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the date string isn't in one of the accepted ISO8601 formats

parse

public static Date parse(String dateStr,
         TimeZone timezone)

Parses an iCalendar date.

Parameters:

dateStr - the date string to parse (e.g. "20130609T181023Z")

timezone - the timezone to parse the date as or null to use the JVM's default timezone (if the date string contains its own timezone, then that timezone will be used instead)

Returns:

the parsed date

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the date string isn't in one of the accepted ISO8601 formats

dateHasTime
