# Duration

` public final class Duration `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Comparable<https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration>, https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/Serializable, https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalAmount `

| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | java.time.Duration |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

A time-based amount of time, such as '34.5 seconds'.

This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of seconds and nanoseconds. It can be accessed using other duration-based units, such as minutes and hours. In addition, the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#DAYS` unit can be used and is treated as exactly equal to 24 hours, thus ignoring daylight savings effects. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Period` for the date-based equivalent to this class.

A physical duration could be of infinite length. For practicality, the duration is stored with constraints similar to `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Instant`. The duration uses nanosecond resolution with a maximum value of the seconds that can be held in a `long`. This is greater than the current estimated age of the universe.

The range of a duration requires the storage of a number larger than a `long`. To achieve this, the class stores a `long` representing seconds and an `int` representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999. The model is of a directed duration, meaning that the duration may be negative.

The duration is measured in "seconds", but these are not necessarily identical to the scientific "SI second" definition based on atomic clocks. This difference only impacts durations measured near a leap-second and should not affect most applications. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Instant` for a discussion as to the meaning of the second and time-scales.

This is a [value-based](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html) class; programmers should treat instances that are [equal](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration#equals(java.lang.Object)) as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. The `equals` method should be used for comparisons.

## Fields

### ZERO

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static final Duration ZERO
```

Constant for a duration of zero.

<br />

## Public methods

### abs

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Duration abs ()
```

Returns a copy of this duration with a positive length.

This method returns a positive duration by effectively removing the sign from any negative total length. For example, `PT-1.3S` will be returned as `PT1.3S`.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration` | a `Duration` based on this duration with an absolute length, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs |

### addTo

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Temporal addTo (Temporal temporal)
```

Adds this duration to the specified temporal object.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this duration added.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/Temporal#plus(java.time.temporal.TemporalAmount)`.

```
  // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
  dateTime = thisDuration.addTo(dateTime);
  dateTime = dateTime.plus(thisDuration);
```

The calculation will add the seconds, then nanos. Only non-zero amounts will be added.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `temporal` | `Temporal`: the temporal object to adjust, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/Temporal` | an object of the same type with the adjustment made, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs |

### between

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static Duration between (Temporal startInclusive, 
                Temporal endExclusive)
```

Obtains a `Duration` representing the duration between two temporal objects.

This calculates the duration between two temporal objects. If the objects are of different types, then the duration is calculated based on the type of the first object. For example, if the first argument is a `LocalTime` then the second argument is converted to a `LocalTime`.

The specified temporal objects must support the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#SECONDS` unit. For full accuracy, either the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#NANOS` unit or the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND` field should be supported.

The result of this method can be a negative duration if the end is before the start. To guarantee to obtain a positive duration call `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration#abs()` on the result.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `startInclusive` | `Temporal`: the start instant, inclusive, not null <br /> |
| `endExclusive` | `Temporal`: the end instant, exclusive, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration` | a `Duration`, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if the calculation exceeds the capacity of `Duration` |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/DateTimeException` | if the seconds between the temporals cannot be obtained |

### compareTo

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int compareTo (Duration otherDuration)
```

Compares this duration to the specified `Duration`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `otherDuration` | `Duration`: the other duration to compare to, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the comparator value, that is less than zero if this duration is less than `otherDuration`, zero if they are equal, greater than zero if this duration is greater than `otherDuration` <br /> |

### dividedBy

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Duration dividedBy (long divisor)
```

Returns a copy of this duration divided by the specified value.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `divisor` | `long`: the value to divide the duration by, positive or negative, not zero <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration` | a `Duration` based on this duration divided by the specified divisor, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if the divisor is zero or if numeric overflow occurs |

### dividedBy

Added in [API level 31](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

public long dividedBy (Duration divisor)
```

Returns number of whole times a specified Duration occurs within this Duration.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `divisor` | `Duration`: the value to divide the duration by, positive or negative, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | number of whole times, rounded toward zero, a specified `Duration` occurs within this Duration, may be negative <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if the divisor is zero, or if numeric overflow occurs |

### equals

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean equals (Object other)
```

Checks if this duration is equal to the specified `Duration`.

The comparison is based on the total length of the durations.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `other` | `Object`: the other duration, null returns false <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | true if the other duration is equal to this one <br /> |

### from

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static Duration from (TemporalAmount amount)
```

Obtains an instance of `Duration` from a temporal amount.

This obtains a duration based on the specified amount. A `TemporalAmount` represents an amount of time, which may be date-based or time-based, which this factory extracts to a duration.

The conversion loops around the set of units from the amount and uses the [duration](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalUnit#getDuration()) of the unit to calculate the total `Duration`. Only a subset of units are accepted by this method. The unit must either have an [exact duration](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalUnit#isDurationEstimated()) or be `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#DAYS` which is treated as 24 hours. If any other units are found then an exception is thrown.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `amount` | `TemporalAmount`: the temporal amount to convert, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration` | the equivalent duration, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/DateTimeException` | if unable to convert to a `Duration` |

### get

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public long get (TemporalUnit unit)
```

Gets the value of the requested unit.

This returns a value for each of the two supported units, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#SECONDS` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#NANOS`. All other units throw an exception.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the `TemporalUnit` for which to return the value <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `long` | the long value of the unit <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/DateTimeException` | if the unit is not supported |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the unit is not supported |

This will parse a textual representation of a duration, including the string produced by `toString()`. The formats accepted are based on the ISO-8601 duration format `PnDTnHnMn.nS` with days considered to be exactly 24 hours.

The string starts with an optional sign, denoted by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. If negative, the whole duration is negated. The ASCII letter "P" is next in upper or lower case. There are then four sections, each consisting of a number and a suffix. The sections have suffixes in ASCII of "D", "H", "M" and "S" for days, hours, minutes and seconds, accepted in upper or lower case. The suffixes must occur in order. The ASCII letter "T" must occur before the first occurrence, if any, of an hour, minute or second section. At least one of the four sections must be present, and if "T" is present there must be at least one section after the "T". The number part of each section must consist of one or more ASCII digits. The number may be prefixed by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. The number of days, hours and minutes must parse to an `long`. The number of seconds must parse to an `long` with optional fraction. The decimal point may be either a dot or a comma. The fractional part may have from zero to 9 digits.

The leading plus/minus sign, and negative values for other units are not part of the ISO-8601 standard.

Examples:

```
   "PT20.345S" -- parses as "20.345 seconds"
   "PT15M"     -- parses as "15 minutes" (where a minute is 60 seconds)
   "PT10H"     -- parses as "10 hours" (where an hour is 3600 seconds)
   "P2D"       -- parses as "2 days" (where a day is 24 hours or 86400 seconds)
   "P2DT3H4M"  -- parses as "2 days, 3 hours and 4 minutes"
   "P-6H3M"    -- parses as "-6 hours and +3 minutes"
   "-P6H3M"    -- parses as "-6 hours and -3 minutes"
   "-P-6H+3M"  -- parses as "+6 hours and -3 minutes"
```

### subtractFrom

Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Temporal subtractFrom (Temporal temporal)
```

Subtracts this duration from the specified temporal object.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this duration subtracted.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/Temporal#minus(java.time.temporal.TemporalAmount)`.

```
  // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
  dateTime = thisDuration.subtractFrom(dateTime);
  dateTime = dateTime.minus(thisDuration);
```

The calculation will subtract the seconds, then nanos. Only non-zero amounts will be added.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `temporal` | `Temporal`: the temporal object to adjust, not null <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/Temporal` | an object of the same type with the adjustment made, not null <br /> |

| Throws ||

A string representation of this duration using ISO-8601 seconds based representation, such as `PT8H6M12.345S`.

The format of the returned string will be `PTnHnMnS`, where n is the relevant hours, minutes or seconds part of the duration. Any fractional seconds are placed after a decimal point in the seconds section. If a section has a zero value, it is omitted. The hours, minutes and seconds will all have the same sign.

Examples:

```
   "20.345 seconds"                 -- "PT20.345S
   "15 minutes" (15 * 60 seconds)   -- "PT15M"

Truncating the duration returns a copy of the original with conceptual fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. For example, truncating with the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#MINUTES` unit will round down towards zero to the nearest minute, setting the seconds and nanoseconds to zero.

The unit must have a [duration](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/TemporalUnit#getDuration()) that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all [time-based units on {@code ChronoUnit}](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#isTimeBased()) and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/temporal/ChronoUnit#DAYS`. Other ChronoUnits throw an exception.
