ValueRange

public final class ValueRange
extends Object implements Serializable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.time.temporal.ValueRange


The range of valid values for a date-time field.

All TemporalField instances have a valid range of values. For example, the ISO day-of-month runs from 1 to somewhere between 28 and 31. This class captures that valid range.

It is important to be aware of the limitations of this class. Only the minimum and maximum values are provided. It is possible for there to be invalid values within the outer range. For example, a weird field may have valid values of 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, thus have a range of '1 - 7', despite that fact that values 3 and 5 are invalid.

Instances of this class are not tied to a specific field.

Public methods

checkValidIntValue

Added in API level 26
public int checkValidIntValue (long value, 
                TemporalField field)

Checks that the specified value is valid and fits in an int.

This validates that the value is within the valid range of values and that all valid values are within the bounds of an int. The field is only used to improve the error message.

Parameters
value long: the value to check

field TemporalField: the field being checked, may be null

Returns
int the value that was passed in

checkValidValue

Added in API level 26
public long checkValidValue (long value, 
                TemporalField field)

Checks that the specified value is valid.

This validates that the value is within the valid range of values. The field is only used to improve the error message.

Parameters
value long: the value to check

field TemporalField: the field being checked, may be null

Returns
long the value that was passed in

equals

Added in API level 26
public boolean equals (Object obj)

Checks if this range is equal to another range.

The comparison is based on the four values, minimum, largest minimum, smallest maximum and maximum. Only objects of type ValueRange are compared, other types return false.

Parameters
obj Object: the object to check, null returns false

Returns
boolean true if this is equal to the other range

getLargestMinimum

Added in API level 26
public long getLargestMinimum ()

Gets the largest possible minimum value that the field can take.

For example, the ISO day-of-month always starts at 1. The largest minimum is therefore 1.

Returns
long the largest possible minimum value for this field

getMaximum

Added in API level 26
public long getMaximum ()

Gets the maximum value that the field can take.

For example, the ISO day-of-month runs to between 28 and 31 days. The maximum is therefore 31.

Returns
long the maximum value for this field

getMinimum

Added in API level 26
public long getMinimum ()

Gets the minimum value that the field can take.

For example, the ISO day-of-month always starts at 1. The minimum is therefore 1.

Returns
long the minimum value for this field

getSmallestMaximum

Added in API level 26
public long getSmallestMaximum ()

Gets the smallest possible maximum value that the field can take.

For example, the ISO day-of-month runs to between 28 and 31 days. The smallest maximum is therefore 28.

Returns
long the smallest possible maximum value for this field

hashCode

Added in API level 26
public int hashCode ()

A hash code for this range.

Returns
int a suitable hash code

isFixed

Added in API level 26
public boolean isFixed ()

Is the value range fixed and fully known.

For example, the ISO day-of-month runs from 1 to between 28 and 31. Since there is uncertainty about the maximum value, the range is not fixed. However, for the month of January, the range is always 1 to 31, thus it is fixed.

Returns
boolean true if the set of values is fixed

isIntValue

Added in API level 26
public boolean isIntValue ()

Checks if all values in the range fit in an int.

This checks that all valid values are within the bounds of an int.

For example, the ISO month-of-year has values from 1 to 12, which fits in an int. By comparison, ISO nano-of-day runs from 1 to 86,400,000,000,000 which does not fit in an int.

This implementation uses getMinimum() and getMaximum().

Returns
boolean true if a valid value always fits in an int

isValidIntValue

Added in API level 26
public boolean isValidIntValue (long value)

Checks if the value is within the valid range and that all values in the range fit in an int.

This method combines isIntValue() and isValidValue(long).

Parameters
value long: the value to check

Returns
boolean true if the value is valid and fits in an int

isValidValue

Added in API level 26
public boolean isValidValue (long value)

Checks if the value is within the valid range.

This checks that the value is within the stored range of values.

Parameters
value long: the value to check

Returns
boolean true if the value is valid

public static ValueRange of (long min, 
                long max)

IllegalArgumentException if the smallest minimum is greater than the smallest maximum, or the smallest maximum is greater than the largest maximum, or the largest minimum is greater than the largest maximum, or the smallest minimum is greater than the largest minimum

of

                long maxSmallest, 
                long maxLargest)

toString

Added in API level 26
public String toString ()
