public class HebrewCalendar extends Calendar
HebrewCalendar
is a subclass ofCalendar
that that implements the traditional Hebrew calendar. This is the civil calendar in Israel and the liturgical calendar of the Jewish faith worldwide.The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar and thus has a number of interesting properties that distinguish it from the Gregorian. Months start on the day of (an arithmetic approximation of) each new moon. Since the solar year (approximately 365.24 days) is not an even multiple of the lunar month (approximately 29.53 days) an extra "leap month" is inserted in 7 out of every 19 years. To make matters even more interesting, the start of a year can be delayed by up to three days in order to prevent certain holidays from falling on the Sabbath and to prevent certain illegal year lengths. Finally, the lengths of certain months can vary depending on the number of days in the year.
The leap month is known as "Adar 1" and is inserted between the months of Shevat and Adar in leap years. Since the leap month does not come at the end of the year, calculations involving month numbers are particularly complex. Users of this class should make sure to use the
roll
andadd
methods rather than attempting to perform date arithmetic by manipulating the fields directly.Note: In the traditional Hebrew calendar, days start at sunset. However, in order to keep the time fields in this class synchronized with those of the other calendars and with local clock time, we treat days and months as beginning at midnight, roughly 6 hours after the corresponding sunset.

Method Detail
-
add
public void add(int field, int amount)
Add a signed amount to a specified field, using this calendar's rules. For example, to add three days to the current date, you can calladd(Calendar.DATE, 3)
.When adding to certain fields, the values of other fields may conflict and need to be changed. For example, when adding one to the
MONTH
field for the date "30 Av 5758", theDAY_OF_MONTH
field must be adjusted so that the result is "29 Elul 5758" rather than the invalid "30 Elul 5758".This method is able to add to all fields except for
ERA
,DST_OFFSET
, andZONE_OFFSET
.Note: You should always use
roll
and add rather than attempting to perform arithmetic operations directly on the fields of a HebrewCalendar. Since theMONTH
field behaves discontinuously in non-leap years, simple arithmetic can give invalid results.- Overrides:
add
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
field
- the time field.amount
- the amount to add to the field.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the field is invalid or refers to a field that cannot be handled by this method.- See Also:
Calendar.roll(int, int)
-
roll
public void roll(int field, int amount)
Rolls (up/down) a specified amount time on the given field. For example, to roll the current date up by three days, you can callroll(Calendar.DATE, 3)
. If the field is rolled past its maximum allowable value, it will "wrap" back to its minimum and continue rolling. For example, callingroll(Calendar.DATE, 10)
on a Hebrew calendar set to "25 Av 5758" will result in the date "5 Av 5758".When rolling certain fields, the values of other fields may conflict and need to be changed. For example, when rolling the
MONTH
field upward by one for the date "30 Av 5758", theDAY_OF_MONTH
field must be adjusted so that the result is "29 Elul 5758" rather than the invalid "30 Elul".This method is able to roll all fields except for
ERA
,DST_OFFSET
, andZONE_OFFSET
. Subclasses may, of course, add support for additional fields in their overrides ofroll
.Note: You should always use roll and
add
rather than attempting to perform arithmetic operations directly on the fields of a HebrewCalendar. Since theMONTH
field behaves discontinuously in non-leap years, simple arithmetic can give invalid results.- Overrides:
roll
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
field
- the time field.amount
- the amount by which the field should be rolled.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the field is invalid or refers to a field that cannot be handled by this method.- See Also:
Calendar.roll(int, boolean)
,Calendar.add(int, int)

isLeapYear
@Deprecated public static boolean isLeapYear(int year)
Deprecated.This API is ICU internal only.Determine whether a given Hebrew year is a leap year The rule here is that if (year % 19) == 0, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, or 17. The formula below performs the same test, believe it or not.
-
handleGetLimit
protected int handleGetLimit(int field, int limitType)
Description copied from class:Calendar
Subclass API for defining limits of different types. Subclasses must implement this method to return limits for the following fields:ERA YEAR MONTH WEEK_OF_YEAR WEEK_OF_MONTH DAY_OF_MONTH DAY_OF_YEAR DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH YEAR_WOY EXTENDED_YEAR
- Specified by:
handleGetLimit
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
field
- one of the above field numberslimitType
- one ofMINIMUM
,GREATEST_MINIMUM
,LEAST_MAXIMUM
, orMAXIMUM
-
handleGetMonthLength
protected int handleGetMonthLength(int extendedYear, int month)
Returns the length of the given month in the given year- Overrides:
handleGetMonthLength
in classCalendar
-
handleGetYearLength
protected int handleGetYearLength(int eyear)
Returns the number of days in the given Hebrew year- Overrides:
handleGetYearLength
in classCalendar
-
validateField
@Deprecated protected void validateField(int field)
Deprecated.This API is ICU internal only.Validate a single field of this calendar. Subclasses should override this method to validate any calendar-specific fields. Generic fields can be handled byCalendar.validateField()
.Overrides
Calendar.validateField(int)
to provide special handling for month validation for Hebrew calendar.- Overrides:
validateField
in classCalendar
- See Also:
Calendar.validateField(int, int, int)
-
handleComputeFields
protected void handleComputeFields(int julianDay)
Subclasses may override this method to compute several fields specific to each calendar system. These are:- ERA
- YEAR
- MONTH
- DAY_OF_MONTH
- DAY_OF_YEAR
- EXTENDED_YEAR
In addition, subclasses should compute any subclass-specific fields, that is, fields from BASE_FIELD_COUNT to getFieldCount() - 1.
- Overrides:
handleComputeFields
in classCalendar
-
handleGetExtendedYear
protected int handleGetExtendedYear()
Description copied from class:Calendar
Returns the extended year defined by the current fields. This will use the EXTENDED_YEAR field or the YEAR and supra-year fields (such as ERA) specific to the calendar system, depending on which set of fields is newer.- Specified by:
handleGetExtendedYear
in classCalendar
- Returns:
- the extended year
-
handleComputeMonthStart
protected int handleComputeMonthStart(int eyear, int month, boolean useMonth)
Return JD of start of given month/year.- Specified by:
handleComputeMonthStart
in classCalendar
- Parameters:
eyear
- the extended yearmonth
- the zero-based month, or 0 if useMonth is falseuseMonth
- if false, compute the day before the first day of the given year, otherwise, compute the day before the first day of the given month- Returns:
- the Julian day number of the day before the first day of the given month and year
-
getType
public String getType()
Returns the calendar type name string for this Calendar object. The returned string is the legacy ICU calendar attribute value, for example, "gregorian" or "japanese".See type="old type name" for the calendar attribute of locale IDs at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Key_Type_Definitions
