Following is the declaration for java.util.SimpleTimeZone.setStartRule() method.

public void setStartRule(int startMonth,
                         int startDay,
                         int startDayOfWeek,
                         int startTime,
                         boolean after)

Parameters

  • startMonth − The daylight saving time starting month.

  • startDay − The day of the month on which the daylight saving time starts.

  • startDayOfWeek − The daylight saving time starting day-of-week.

  • startTime − The daylight saving time starting time in local wall clock time.

  • after − If true, this rule selects the first dayOfWeek on or after dayOfMonth. If false, this rule selects the last dayOfWeek on or before dayOfMonth.

Return Value

NA

Exception

IllegalArgumentException − This is thrown if the startMonth, startDay, startDayOfWeek, or startTime parameters are out of range.

Example

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

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,"US");

      // checking initial value     
      System.out.println("Initial value: " + stobj);

      // setting start rule   
      stobj.setStartRule( Calendar.MAY, 2,2, 3600000,true);   

      // checking the new value      
      System.out.println("Final value : " + stobj);
   }     
}

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

Initial value: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id = US,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]

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