Constructor Detail

TimePeriod

public TimePeriod(long startTime,
                  long stopTime)

This method constructs a TimePeriod instance corresponding to the passed startTime and stopTime.

Parameters:

startTime - The number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period starts, a long

stopTime - The number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period stops, a long

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Tests this TimePeriod for equality with the passed Object.

If the given object is not a TimePeriod, then this method immediately returns false.

If the passed object is a TimePeriod, then it is deemed equal if it has a numerically equivalent start time and a numerically equivalent stop time to the passed TimePeriod instance.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - The Object to test for equality

Returns:

A boolean indicating equality

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getStartTime

public long getStartTime()

Returns the number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period starts, a long

Returns:

The number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period starts, a long

getStopTime

public long getStopTime()

Returns the number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period stops, a long

Returns:

The number of milliseconds after January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT when the time period stops, a long
