Shorter numbers are zero-padded to this * amount (e.g. if <code>"m"</code> produces <code>"6"</code>, <code>"mm"</code> * produces <code>"06"</code>). Year is handled specially; that is, if the count * of 'y' is 2, the Year will be truncated to 2 digits. (e.g., if * <code>"yyyy"</code> produces <code>"1997"</code>, <code>"yy"</code> produces * <code>"97"</code>.) Unlike other fields, fractional seconds are padded on the * right with zero.</dd> * * <dt>Text or Number</dt> * <dd>3 or more, use text, otherwise use number. (e.g. <code>"M"</code> * produces <code>"1"</code>, <code>"MM"</code> produces <code>"01"</code>, * <code>"MMM"</code> produces <code>"Jan"</code>, and <code>"MMMM"</code> * produces <code>"January"</code>. Some pattern letters also treat a count * of 5 specially, meaning a single-letter abbreviation: <code>L</code>, * <code>M</code>, <code>E</code>, and <code>c</code>.</dd> * </dl> * * <p> * Any characters in the pattern that are not in the ranges of ['<code>a</code> * '..'<code>z</code>'] and ['<code>A</code>'..'<code>Z</code>'] will be treated * as quoted text. For instance, characters like '<code>:</code>', ' * <code>.</code>', '<code> </code>' (space), '<code>#</code>' and ' * <code>@</code>' will appear in the resulting time text even they are not * embraced within single quotes. * </p> * * <p> * [Time Zone Handling] Web browsers don't provide all the information we need * for proper time zone formating -- so GWT has a copy of the required data, for * your convenience. For simpler cases, one can also use a fallback * implementation that only keeps track of the current timezone offset. These * two approaches are called, respectively, Common TimeZones and Simple * TimeZones, although both are implemented with the same TimeZone class. * * "TimeZone createTimeZone(String timezoneData)" returns a Common TimeZone * object, and "TimeZone createTimeZone(int timeZoneOffsetInMinutes)" returns a * Simple TimeZone object. The one provided by OS fall into to Simple TimeZone * category. For formatting purpose, following table shows the behavior of GWT * DateTimeFormat. * </p> * <table> * <tr> * <th>Pattern</th> * <th>Common TimeZone</th> * <th>Simple TimeZone</th> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>z, zz, zzz</td> * <td>PDT</td> * <td>UTC-7</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>zzzz</td> * <td>Pacific Daylight Time</td> * <td>UTC-7</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>Z, ZZ</td> * <td>-0700</td> * <td>-0700</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>ZZZ</td> * <td>-07:00</td> * <td>-07:00</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>ZZZZ</td> * <td>GMT-07:00</td> * <td>GMT-07:00</td> * </tr> * <tr> * <td>v, vv, vvv, vvvv</td> * <td>America/Los_Angeles</td> * <td>Etc/GMT+7</td> * </tr> * </table> * * <h3>Parsing Dates and Times</h3> * <p> * The pattern does not need to specify every field. If the year, month, or * day is missing from the pattern, the corresponding value will be taken from * the current date. If the month is specified but the day is not, the day will * be constrained to the last day within the specified month. If the hour, * minute, or second is missing, the value defaults to zero. * </p> * * <p> * As with formatting (described above), the count of pattern letters determines * the parsing behavior. * </p> * * <dl> * <dt>Text</dt> * <dd>4 or more pattern letters--use full form, less than 4--use short or * abbreviated form if one exists. In parsing, we will always try long format, * then short.</dd> * * <dt>Number</dt> * <dd>the minimum number of digits.</dd> * * <dt>Text or Number</dt> * <dd>3 or more characters means use text, otherwise use number</dd> * </dl> * * <p> * Although the current pattern specification doesn't not specify behavior for * all letters, it may in the future. It is strongly discouraged to use * unspecified letters as literal text without quoting them. * </p> * <p> * [Note on TimeZone] The time zone support for parsing is limited. Only * standard GMT and RFC format are supported. Time zone specification using time * zone id (like America/Los_Angeles), time zone names (like PST, Pacific * Standard Time) are not supported. Normally, it is too much a burden for a * client application to load all the time zone symbols. And in almost all those * cases, it is a better choice to do such parsing on server side through * certain RPC mechanism. This decision is based on particular use cases we have * studied; in principle, it could be changed in future versions. * </p> * * <h3>Examples</h3> * <table> * <tr> * <th>Pattern</th> * <th>Formatted Text</th> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss vvvv"</code></td> * <td><code>1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 America/Los_Angeles</code></td> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"EEE, MMM d, ''yy"</code></td> * <td><code>Wed, July 10, '96</code></td> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"h:mm a"</code></td> * <td><code>12:08 PM</code></td> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"hh 'o''clock' a, zzzz"</code></td> * <td><code> 12 o'clock PM, Pacific Daylight Time</code></td> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"K:mm a, vvvv"</code></td> * <td><code> 0:00 PM, America/Los_Angeles</code></td> * </tr> * * <tr> * <td><code>"yyyyy.MMMMM.dd GGG hh:mm aaa"</code></td> * <td><code>01996.July.10 AD 12:08 PM</code></td> * </tr> * </table> * * <h3>Additional Parsing Considerations</h3> * <p> * When parsing a date string using the abbreviated year pattern ( * <code>"yy"</code>), the parser must interpret the abbreviated year relative * to some century. It does this by adjusting dates to be within 80 years before * and 20 years after the time the parser instance is created. For example, * using a pattern of <code>"MM/dd/yy"</code> and a <code>DateTimeFormat</code> * object created on Jan 1, 1997, the string <code>"01/11/12"</code> would be * interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string <code>"05/04/64"</code> would be * interpreted as May 4, 1964. During parsing, only strings consisting of * exactly two digits, as defined by {@link java.lang.Character#isDigit(char)}, * will be parsed into the default century. If the year pattern does not have * exactly two 'y' characters, the year is interpreted literally, regardless of * the number of digits. For example, using the pattern * <code>"MM/dd/yyyy"</code>, "01/11/12" parses to Jan 11, 12 A.D. * </p> * * <p> * When numeric fields abut one another directly, with no intervening delimiter * characters, they constitute a run of abutting numeric fields. Such runs are * parsed specially. For example, the format "HHmmss" parses the input text * "123456" to 12:34:56, parses the input text "12345" to 1:23:45, and fails to * parse "1234". In other words, the leftmost field of the run is flexible, * while the others keep a fixed width. If the parse fails anywhere in the run, * then the leftmost field is shortened by one character, and the entire run is * parsed again. This is repeated until either the parse succeeds or the * leftmost field is one character in length. If the parse still fails at that * point, the parse of the run fails. * </p> * * <p> * In the current implementation, timezone parsing only supports * <code>GMT:hhmm</code>, <code>GMT:+hhmm</code>, and <code>GMT:-hhmm</code>. * </p> * * <h3>Example</h3> {@example com.google.gwt.examples.DateTimeFormatExample} * * deprecated use {@link com.google.gwt.i18n.shared.DateTimeFormat} instead */ // Temporarily remove deprecation to keep from breaking teams that don't allow // deprecated references. // @Deprecated public class DateTimeFormat extends com.google.gwt.i18n.shared.DateTimeFormat { /** * Predefined date/time formats -- see {@link CustomDateTimeFormat} if you * need some format that isn't supplied here. * * deprecated use {@link com.google.gwt.i18n.shared.DateTimeFormat.PredefinedFormat} instead */ // Temporarily remove deprecation to keep from breaking teams that don't allow // deprecated references. // @Deprecated public enum PredefinedFormat { // TODO(jat): Javadoc to explain these formats /** * ISO 8601 date format, fixed across all locales. * <p>Example: {@code 2008-10-03T10:29:40.046-04:00} * <p>http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3068 * <p>http://www.iso.org/iso/support/faqs/faqs_widely_used_standards/widely_used_standards_other/date_and_time_format.htm */ ISO_8601, /** * RFC 2822 date format, fixed across all locales. * <p>Example: {@code Thu, 20 May 2010 17:54:50 -0700} * <p>http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.3 */ RFC_2822, DATE_FULL, DATE_LONG, DATE_MEDIUM, DATE_SHORT, TIME_FULL, TIME_LONG, TIME_MEDIUM, TIME_SHORT, DATE_TIME_FULL, DATE_TIME_LONG, DATE_TIME_MEDIUM, DATE_TIME_SHORT, DAY, HOUR_MINUTE, HOUR_MINUTE_SECOND, HOUR24_MINUTE, HOUR24_MINUTE_SECOND, MINUTE_SECOND, MONTH, MONTH_ABBR, MONTH_ABBR_DAY, MONTH_DAY, MONTH_NUM_DAY, MONTH_WEEKDAY_DAY, YEAR, YEAR_MONTH, YEAR_MONTH_ABBR, YEAR_MONTH_ABBR_DAY, YEAR_MONTH_DAY, YEAR_MONTH_NUM, YEAR_MONTH_NUM_DAY, YEAR_MONTH_WEEKDAY_DAY, YEAR_QUARTER, YEAR_QUARTER_ABBR, } private static final Map<String, DateTimeFormat> cache;
