ChineseCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar that implements a traditional Chinese calendar. The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar: Each month starts on a new moon, and the months are numbered according to solar events, specifically, to guarantee that month 11 always contains the winter solstice. In order to accomplish this, leap months are inserted in certain years. Leap months are numbered the same as the month they follow. The decision of which month is a leap month depends on the relative movements of the sun and moon.

All astronomical computations are performed with respect to a time zone of GMT+8:00 and a longitude of 120 degrees east. Although some calendars implement a historically more accurate convention of using Beijing's local longitude (116 degrees 25 minutes east) and time zone (GMT+7:45:40) for dates before 1929, we do not implement this here.

Years are counted in two different ways in the Chinese calendar. The first method is by sequential numbering from the 61st year of the reign of Huang Di, 2637 BCE, which is designated year 1 on the Chinese calendar. The second method uses 60-year cycles from the same starting point, which is designated year 1 of cycle 1. In this class, the EXTENDED_YEAR field contains the sequential year count. The ERA field contains the cycle number, and the YEAR field contains the year of the cycle, a value between 1 and 60.

There is some variation in what is considered the starting point of the calendar, with some sources starting in the first year of the reign of Huang Di, rather than the 61st. This gives continuous year numbers 60 years greater and cycle numbers one greater than what this class implements.

Because ChineseCalendar defines an additional field and redefines the way the ERA field is used, it requires a new format class, ChineseDateFormat. As always, use the methods DateFormat.getXxxInstance(Calendar cal,...) to obtain a formatter for this calendar.

Override Calendar to handle leap months properly.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the time field.
`amount`	`int`: the amount to add to the field.

getType

Added in API level 24

public String getType ()

[icu] Returns the calendar type name string for this Calendar object. The returned string is the legacy ICU calendar attribute value, for example, "gregorian" or "japanese".

See type="old type name" for the calendar attribute of locale IDs at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Key_Type_Definitions

Returns
`String`	legacy calendar type name string

public void roll (int field, 
                int amount)

Override Calendar to handle leap months properly.

Parameters
`field`	`int`: the calendar field to roll.

Protected methods

getFieldResolutionTable

Added in API level 24

protected int[][][] getFieldResolutionTable ()

Override Calendar to add IS_LEAP_MONTH to the field resolution table.

Returns
`int[][][]`

handleComputeFields

Added in API level 24

protected void handleComputeFields (int julianDay)

Override Calendar to compute several fields specific to the Chinese calendar system. These are:

ERA
YEAR
MONTH
DAY_OF_MONTH
DAY_OF_YEAR
EXTENDED_YEAR

The DAY_OF_WEEK and DOW_LOCAL fields are already set when this method is called. The getGregorianXxx() methods return Gregorian calendar equivalents for the given Julian day.

Compute the ChineseCalendar-specific field IS_LEAP_MONTH.

Parameters
`julianDay`	`int`

handleComputeMonthStart

Added in API level 24

protected int handleComputeMonthStart (int eyear, 
                int month, 
                boolean useMonth)

Return the Julian day number of day before the first day of the given month in the given extended year.

Note: This method reads the IS_LEAP_MONTH field to determine whether the given month is a leap month.

Parameters
`eyear`	`int`: the extended year
`month`	`int`: the zero-based month. The month is also determined by reading the IS_LEAP_MONTH field.
`useMonth`	`boolean`: if false, compute the day before the first day of the given year, otherwise, compute the day before the first day of the given month

Returns
`int`	the Julian day number of the day before the first day of the given month and year
