Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
PrecisionDate() Create a Date with a Prescision The default constructor creates dates with seconds precision, ie:yyyyMMddHHmmssZ for other precise date use Precision(Precision p) or Precision(Precision p, long timeInMilliseconds)
PrecisionDate(long timeInMilliseconds) Constructed with a default precision of seconds
PrecisionDate(Precision timePrecision) Constructed with a default precision of seconds
PrecisionDate(Precision timePrecision, org.joda.time.DateTime date) * Constructed a date with the specified precision equivalent to this(timePrecision, date.getTime())
PrecisionDate(Precision timePrecision, long timeInMilliseconds) Constructed a date with the specified precision

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.joda.time.DateTime	getDateTime()
Precision	getPrecision()
static PreciseDate	today() convenience method to return the current date with DAY precision
String	toNarrativeForm() Return a string representation using the narrative form of formatter specified in the Precision
String	toString() A String representation using only the required precision in HL7 ISO 8601 format for example, a PrecisionDate with a Precsion.Day accuracy will print yyyyMMdd while a PrecisionDate with a Precsion.Millisecond with a millisecond accuracy will print yyyyMMddHHmmss.SSSZ

Constructor Detail

PrecisionDate

public PrecisionDate()

Create a Date with a Prescision
The default constructor creates dates with seconds precision, ie:yyyyMMddHHmmssZ for other precise date use Precision(Precision p) or Precision(Precision p, long timeInMilliseconds)

PrecisionDate

public PrecisionDate(long timeInMilliseconds)

Constructed with a default precision of seconds

Parameters:

timeInMilliseconds - the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

See Also:

System.currentTimeMillis()

PrecisionDate

public PrecisionDate(Precision timePrecision,
                     long timeInMilliseconds)

Constructed a date with the specified precision

Parameters:

timeInMilliseconds - the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

timePrecision - the amount of time to use. eg: Precision.day indicating that hours, minutes and seconds are to be ignored

See Also:
