                       int endDayOfWeek,
                       int endTime,
                       boolean after)

Parameters

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.SimpleTimeZone.setEndRule()

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.*;

public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo {
   public static void main( String args[] ){
      // create simple time zone object
       SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(820,"GMT");
      
       // checking the initial value      
      System.out.println("Initial value : " + stobj);
      
      // setting end rule
      stobj.setEndRule( Calendar.MAY, 2, Calendar.TUESDAY, 3600000,true);
      
      // checking the new value      
      System.out.println("New value : " + stobj);
   }     
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

Initial value : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=GMT,offset=820,dstSavings=3600000,
useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,
startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,
endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
New value : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=GMT,offset=820,dstSavings=3600000,
useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,
startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=3,endMonth=4,
endDay=2,endDayOfWeek=3,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=0]
