Use the Seconds class: DateTime now = DateTime.now(); DateTime dateTime = now.plusMinutes(10); Seconds seconds = Seconds.secondsBetween(now, dateTime); System.out.println(seconds.getSeconds()); This piece of code prints out 600. I think this is what you need. As further advice, explore the documentation of joda-time. It’s pretty good, and most things are very easy to discover. In case you need … Read more
The official statement of the author of Joda-time himself is to migrate as soon as Java-8 is available. See also this citation from the website: Note that Joda-Time is considered to be a largely “finished” project. No major enhancements are planned. If using Java SE 8, please migrate to java.time (JSR-310). So the short answer … Read more
A distinct paucity of documentation, means it might be helpful for me to write down the steps required for integration. Make sure your libraries are up to date. You’ll need : [assuming you already have hibernate4] Latest version of joda-time <dependency> <groupId>joda-time</groupId> <artifactId>joda-time</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> </dependency> and usertype lib <dependency> <groupId>org.jadira.usertype</groupId> <artifactId>usertype.core</artifactId> <version>3.0.0.CR1</version> </dependency> Then use … Read more
Note that in JAVA SE 8 a new java.time (JSR-310) package was introduced. This replaces Joda time, Joda users are advised to migrate. For the JAVA SE ≥ 8 way of formatting date and time, see below. Joda time Create a DateTimeFormatter using DateTimeFormat.forPattern(String) Using Joda time you would do it like this: String dateTime … Read more
As far as I know there is no built-in method to automatically do this for you in Joda Time. However, you could write your own method, that increments the date in a loop until you get to a weekday. Note that, depending on what you need it for exactly, this could be (much) more complicated … Read more
You could look at the following options. http://code.google.com/p/gwt-time/ http://code.google.com/p/goda-time/ http://github.com/mping/gwt-joda-time
I also ran into this problem. Jon Skeet’s suspicions were correct, the problem is that the time zones are being loaded really inefficiently, opening a jar file and then reading the manifest to try to get this information. However, simply calling DateTimeZone.setProvider([custom provider instance …]) is not sufficient because, for reasons that don’t make sense … Read more
You’ll probably have to tweak this a bit for your own format, but try something along these lines: PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder() .appendDays().appendSuffix(“d “) .appendHours().appendSuffix(“h “) .appendMinutes().appendSuffix(“min”) .toFormatter(); Period p = formatter.parsePeriod(“2d 5h 30min”); note that there is a appendSuffix that takes a variants parameter if you need to make it more flexible. Update: … Read more
Java 9 and later: Duration::to…Part methods In Java 9 the Duration class gained new to…Part methods for returning the various parts of days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds/nanoseconds. See this pre-release OpenJDK source code. Given a duration of 49H30M20.123S… toNanosPart() = 123000000 toMillisPart() = 123 toSecondsPart() = 20 toMinutesPart() = 30 toHoursPart() = 1 toDaysPart() = … Read more
