Calendar Types

Calendar types are used to specify calendar systems for which the getDisplayName and getDisplayNames methods provide calendar field value names. See Calendar#getCalendarType() for details.

Calendar Fields

Calendar fields are specified with the constants defined in Calendar. The following are calendar-common fields and their values to be supported for each calendar system.

Field values
Field Value Description
Calendar#MONTH Calendar#JANUARY to Calendar#UNDECIMBER Month numbering is 0-based (e.g., 0 - January, ..., 11 - December). Some calendar systems have 13 months. Month names need to be supported in both the formatting and stand-alone forms if required by the supported locales. If there's no distinction in the two forms, the same names should be returned in both of the forms.
Calendar#DAY_OF_WEEK Calendar#SUNDAY to Calendar#SATURDAY Day-of-week numbering is 1-based starting from Sunday (i.e., 1 - Sunday, ..., 7 - Saturday).
Calendar#AM_PM Calendar#AM to Calendar#PM 0 - AM, 1 - PM

The following are calendar-specific fields and their values to be supported.

public abstract String getDisplayName(String calendarType, int field, int value, int style, Locale locale)

Returns the string representation (display name) of the calendar field value in the given style and locale. If no string representation is applicable, null is returned.

field is a Calendar field index, such as Calendar#MONTH. The time zone fields, Calendar#ZONE_OFFSET and Calendar#DST_OFFSET, are not supported by this method. null must be returned if any time zone fields are specified.

value is the numeric representation of the field value. For example, if field is Calendar#DAY_OF_WEEK, the valid values are Calendar#SUNDAY to Calendar#SATURDAY (inclusive).

style gives the style of the string representation. It is one of Calendar#SHORT_FORMAT (SHORT), Calendar#SHORT_STANDALONE, Calendar#LONG_FORMAT (LONG), Calendar#LONG_STANDALONE, Calendar#NARROW_FORMAT, or Calendar#NARROW_STANDALONE.

For example, the following call will return "Sunday".

public abstract Map<String, Integer> getDisplayNames(String calendarType, int field, int style, Locale locale)

Returns a Map containing all string representations (display names) of the Calendar field in the given style and locale and their corresponding field values.

field is a Calendar field index, such as Calendar#MONTH. The time zone fields, Calendar#ZONE_OFFSET and Calendar#DST_OFFSET, are not supported by this method. null must be returned if any time zone fields are specified.

For example, the following call will return a Map containing "January" to Calendar#JANUARY, "Jan" to Calendar#JANUARY, "February" to Calendar#FEBRUARY, "Feb" to Calendar#FEBRUARY, and so on. 

getDisplayNames("gregory", Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.ALL_STYLES, Locale.ENGLISH);
