public void setEndRule(int endMonth,
                       int endDay,
                       int endDayOfWeek,
                       int endTime,
                       boolean after)

Parameters

• endMonth − The daylight saving time ending month.

• endDay − The day of the month on which the daylight saving time ends.

• endTime − The daylight saving ending time in local wall clock time.

• endDayOfWeek − The daylight saving time ending day-of-week.

• after − If true, this rule selects the first endDayOfWeek on or after endDay. If false, this rule selects the last endDayOfWeek on or before endDay of the month.

Return Value

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]
