|   | ↳ | [java.sql.Time](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/sql/Time#) |

A thin wrapper around the`java.util.Date`class that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL`TIME`value. The`Time`class adds formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for time values.

The date components should be set to the "zero epoch" value of January 1, 1970 and should not be accessed.

[from](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Date.html#from(java.time.Instant))`(`instant:` `[Instant](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/Instant.html#)!`)` <br /> Obtains an instance of`Date`from an`Instant`object. `Instant`uses a precision of nanoseconds, whereas`Date`uses a precision of milliseconds. The conversion will truncate any excess precision information as though the amount in nanoseconds was subject to integer division by one million. `Instant`can store points on the time-line further in the future and further in the past than`Date`. In this scenario, this method will throw an exception. <br />

[getTimezoneOffset](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Date.html#getTimezoneOffset())`()` <br /> Returns the offset, measured in minutes, for the local time zone relative to UTC that is appropriate for the time represented by this`Date`object. For example, in Massachusetts, five time zones west of Greenwich: ```kotlin new Date(96, 1, 14).getTimezoneOffset() returns 300 ``` because on February 14, 1996, standard time (Eastern Standard Time) is in use, which is offset five hours from UTC; but: ```kotlin new Date(96, 5, 1).getTimezoneOffset() returns 240 ``` because on June 1, 1996, daylight saving time (Eastern Daylight Time) is in use, which is offset only four hours from UTC. This method produces the same result as if it computed: ```kotlin (this.getTime() - UTC(this.getYear(), this.getMonth(), this.getDate(), this.getHours(), this.getMinutes(), this.getSeconds())) / (60 * 1000) ``` <br />

[Long](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html)       | [parse](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Date.html#parse(kotlin.String))`(`s:` `[String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)!`)` <br /> Attempts to interpret the string`s`as a representation of a date and time. If the attempt is successful, the time indicated is returned represented as the distance, measured in milliseconds, of that time from the epoch (00:00:00 GMT on January 1, 1970). If the attempt fails, an`IllegalArgumentException`is thrown. It accepts many syntaxes; in particular, it recognizes the IETF standard date syntax: "Sat, 12 Aug 1995 13:30:00 GMT". It also understands the continental U.S. time-zone abbreviations, but for general use, a time-zone offset should be used: "Sat, 12 Aug 1995 13:30:00 GMT+0430" (4 hours, 30 minutes west of the Greenwich meridian). If no time zone is specified, the local time zone is assumed. GMT and UTC are considered equivalent. The string`s`is processed from left to right, looking for data of interest. Any material in`s`that is within the ASCII parenthesis characters`(`and`)`is ignored. Parentheses may be nested. Otherwise, the only characters permitted within`s`are these ASCII characters: ```kotlin abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 0123456789,+-:/ ``` and whitespace characters. A consecutive sequence of decimal digits is treated as a decimal number: - If a number is preceded by`+`or`-`and a year has already been recognized, then the number is a time-zone offset. If the number is less than 24, it is an offset measured in hours. Otherwise, it is regarded as an offset in minutes, expressed in 24-hour time format without punctuation. A preceding`-`means a westward offset. Time zone offsets are always relative to UTC (Greenwich). Thus, for example,`-5`occurring in the string would mean "five hours west of Greenwich" and`+0430`would mean "four hours and thirty minutes east of Greenwich." It is permitted for the string to specify`GMT`,`UT`, or`UTC`redundantly-for example,`GMT-5`or`utc+0430`. - The number is regarded as a year number if one of the following conditions is true: - The number is equal to or greater than 70 and followed by a space, comma, slash, or end of string - The number is less than 70, and both a month and a day of the month have already been recognized If the recognized year number is less than 100, it is interpreted as an abbreviated year relative to a century of which dates are within 80 years before and 19 years after the time when the Date class is initialized. After adjusting the year number, 1900 is subtracted from it. For example, if the current year is 1999 then years in the range 19 to 99 are assumed to mean 1919 to 1999, while years from 0 to 18 are assumed to mean 2000 to 2018. Note that this is slightly different from the interpretation of years less than 100 that is used in[java.text.SimpleDateFormat](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#). - If the number is followed by a colon, it is regarded as an hour, unless an hour has already been recognized, in which case it is regarded as a minute. - If the number is followed by a slash, it is regarded as a month (it is decreased by 1 to produce a number in the range`0`to`11`), unless a month has already been recognized, in which case it is regarded as a day of the month. - If the number is followed by whitespace, a comma, a hyphen, or end of string, then if an hour has been recognized but not a minute, it is regarded as a minute; otherwise, if a minute has been recognized but not a second, it is regarded as a second; otherwise, it is regarded as a day of the month. A consecutive sequence of letters is regarded as a word and treated as follows: - A word that matches`AM`, ignoring case, is ignored (but the parse fails if an hour has not been recognized or is less than`1`or greater than`12`). - A word that matches`PM`, ignoring case, adds`12`to the hour (but the parse fails if an hour has not been recognized or is less than`1`or greater than`12`). - Any word that matches any prefix of`SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY`, or`SATURDAY`, ignoring case, is ignored. For example,`sat, Friday, TUE`, and`Thurs`are ignored. - Otherwise, any word that matches any prefix of`JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER`, or`DECEMBER`, ignoring case, and considering them in the order given here, is recognized as specifying a month and is converted to a number (`0`to`11`). For example,`aug, Sept, april`, and`NOV`are recognized as months. So is`Ma`, which is recognized as`MARCH`, not`MAY`. - Any word that matches`GMT, UT`, or`UTC`, ignoring case, is treated as referring to UTC. - Any word that matches`EST, CST, MST`, or`PST`, ignoring case, is recognized as referring to the time zone in North America that is five, six, seven, or eight hours west of Greenwich, respectively. Any word that matches`EDT, CDT, MDT`, or`PDT`, ignoring case, is recognized as referring to the same time zone, respectively, during daylight saving time. Once the entire string s has been scanned, it is converted to a time result in one of two ways. If a time zone or time-zone offset has been recognized, then the year, month, day of month, hour, minute, and second are interpreted in UTC and then the time-zone offset is applied. Otherwise, the year, month, day of month, hour, minute, and second are interpreted in the local time zone. <br /> | | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)       | [setHours](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Date.html#setHours(kotlin.Int))`(`hours:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`)` <br /> Sets the hour of this`Date`object to the specified value.

/> Creates a string representation of this`Date`object of the form: ```kotlin d mon yyyy hh:mm:ss GMT ``` where: - *d* is the day of the month (`1`through`31`), as one or two decimal digits. - *mon* is the month (`Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec`). - *yyyy*is the year, as four decimal digits. - *hh* is the hour of the day (`00`through`23`), as two decimal digits. - *mm* is the minute within the hour (`00`through`59`), as two decimal digits. - *ss* is the second within the minute (`00`through`61`), as two decimal digits. - *GMT* is exactly the ASCII letters "`GMT`" to indicate Greenwich Mean Time. <br /> The result does not depend on the local time zone. <br />
