## Detailed Description

`SimpleTimeZone` is a concrete subclass of `TimeZone` that represents a time zone for use with a Gregorian calendar.

This class does not handle historical changes.

When specifying daylight-savings-time begin and end dates, use a negative value for `dayOfWeekInMonth` to indicate that `SimpleTimeZone` should count from the end of the month backwards. For example, if Daylight Savings Time starts or ends at the last Sunday a month, use `dayOfWeekInMonth = -1` along with `dayOfWeek = UCAL_SUNDAY` to specify the rule.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ TimeMode

enum icu::SimpleTimeZone::TimeMode

TimeMode is used, together with a millisecond offset after midnight, to specify a rule transition time.

Most rules transition at a local wall time, that is, according to the current time in effect, either standard, or DST. However, some rules transition at local standard time, and some at a specific UTC time. Although it might seem that all times could be converted to wall time, thus eliminating the need for this parameter, this is not the case.

Parameters

  source | the object to be copied.

## ◆ SimpleTimeZone() [2/5]

icu::SimpleTimeZone::SimpleTimeZone | ( | int32_t | rawOffsetGMT,
|  | const UnicodeString & | ID
| ) |  |

Constructs a SimpleTimeZone with the given raw GMT offset and time zone ID, and which doesn't observe daylight savings time.

Normally you should use TimeZone::createInstance() to create a TimeZone instead of creating a SimpleTimeZone directly with this constructor.

Parameters

  rawOffsetGMT | The given base time zone offset to GMT.
  ID | The timezone ID which is obtained from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

## ◆ SimpleTimeZone() [3/5]

| ) |  | const
| override virtual

Returns the TimeZone's adjusted GMT offset (i.e., the number of milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time in this time zone, taking daylight savings time into account) as of a particular reference date.

The reference date is used to determine whether daylight savings time is in effect and needs to be figured into the offset that is returned (in other words, what is the adjusted GMT offset in this time zone at this particular date and time?). For the time zones produced by createTimeZone(), the reference data is specified according to the Gregorian calendar, and the date and time fields are in GMT, NOT local time.

Parameters

  era | The reference date's era
  year | The reference date's year
  month | The reference date's month (0-based; 0 is January)
  day | The reference date's day-in-month (1-based)
  dayOfWeek | The reference date's day-of-week (1-based; 1 is Sunday)
  millis | The reference date's milliseconds in day, UTT (NOT local time).
  status | An UErrorCode to receive the status.

Returns
  The offset in milliseconds to add to GMT to get local time.

Gets the `InitialTimeZoneRule` and the set of `TimeZoneRule` which represent time transitions for this time zone.

On successful return, the argument initial points to non-NULL `InitialTimeZoneRule` and the array trsrules is filled with 0 or multiple `TimeZoneRule` instances up to the size specified by trscount. The results are referencing the rule instance held by this time zone instance. Therefore, after this time zone is destructed, they are no longer available.

Parameters

  initial | Receives the initial timezone rule
  trsrules | Receives the timezone transition rules
  trscount | On input, specify the size of the array 'transitions' receiving the timezone transition rules. On output, actual number of rules filled in the array will be set.

| ) |  | const
| override virtual

Returns true if the given date is within the period when daylight savings time is in effect; false otherwise.

Parameters

  date | The date to test.

Returns
  true if the given date is in Daylight Savings Time; false otherwise.

Deprecated:

Sets the daylight savings starting rule.

For example, in the U.S., Daylight Savings Time starts at the second Sunday in March, at 2 AM in standard time. Therefore, you can set the start rule by calling: setStartRule(UCAL_MARCH, 2, UCAL_SUNDAY, 2*60*60*1000); The dayOfWeekInMonth and dayOfWeek parameters together specify how to calculate the exact starting date. Their exact meaning depend on their respective signs, allowing various types of rules to be constructed, as follows:

- If both dayOfWeekInMonth and dayOfWeek are positive, they specify the day of week in the month (e.g., (2, WEDNESDAY) is the second Wednesday of the month).
- If dayOfWeek is positive and dayOfWeekInMonth is negative, they specify the day of week in the month counting backward from the end of the month. (e.g., (-1, MONDAY) is the last Monday in the month)
- If dayOfWeek is zero and dayOfWeekInMonth is positive, dayOfWeekInMonth specifies the day of the month, regardless of what day of the week it is. (e.g., (10, 0) is the tenth day of the month)
- If dayOfWeek is zero and dayOfWeekInMonth is negative, dayOfWeekInMonth specifies the day of the month counting backward from the end of the month, regardless of what day of the week it is (e.g., (-2, 0) is the next-to-last day of the month).
- If dayOfWeek is negative and dayOfWeekInMonth is positive, they specify the first specified day of the week on or after the specified day of the month. (e.g., (15, -SUNDAY) is the first Sunday after the 15th of the month [or the 15th itself if the 15th is a Sunday].)
- If dayOfWeek and DayOfWeekInMonth are both negative, they specify the last specified day of the week on or before the specified day of the month. (e.g., (-20, -TUESDAY) is the last Tuesday before the 20th of the month [or the 20th itself if the 20th is a Tuesday].)

Parameters

  month | the daylight savings starting month. Month is 0-based. eg, 0 for January.
  dayOfWeekInMonth | the daylight savings starting day-of-week-in-month. Please see the member description for an example.
  dayOfWeek | the daylight savings starting day-of-week. Please see the member description for an example.
