Instant
class Instant : Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<Instant!>, Serializable
kotlin.Any | |
↳ | java.time.Instant |
An instantaneous point on the time-line.
This class models a single instantaneous point on the time-line. This might be used to record event time-stamps in the application.
The range of an instant requires the storage of a number larger than a long
. To achieve this, the class stores a long
representing epoch-seconds and an int
representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999. The epoch-seconds are measured from the standard Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
where instants after the epoch have positive values, and earlier instants have negative values. For both the epoch-second and nanosecond parts, a larger value is always later on the time-line than a smaller value.
Time-scale
The length of the solar day is the standard way that humans measure time. This has traditionally been subdivided into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds, forming a 86400 second day.
Modern timekeeping is based on atomic clocks which precisely define an SI second relative to the transitions of a Caesium atom. The length of an SI second was defined to be very close to the 86400th fraction of a day.
Unfortunately, as the Earth rotates the length of the day varies. In addition, over time the average length of the day is getting longer as the Earth slows. As a result, the length of a solar day in 2012 is slightly longer than 86400 SI seconds. The actual length of any given day and the amount by which the Earth is slowing are not predictable and can only be determined by measurement. The UT1 time-scale captures the accurate length of day, but is only available some time after the day has completed.
The UTC time-scale is a standard approach to bundle up all the additional fractions of a second from UT1 into whole seconds, known as leap-seconds. A leap-second may be added or removed depending on the Earth's rotational changes. As such, UTC permits a day to have 86399 SI seconds or 86401 SI seconds where necessary in order to keep the day aligned with the Sun.
The modern UTC time-scale was introduced in 1972, introducing the concept of whole leap-seconds. Between 1958 and 1972, the definition of UTC was complex, with minor sub-second leaps and alterations to the length of the notional second. As of 2012, discussions are underway to change the definition of UTC again, with the potential to remove leap seconds or introduce other changes.
Given the complexity of accurate timekeeping described above, this Java API defines its own time-scale, the Java Time-Scale.
The Java Time-Scale divides each calendar day into exactly 86400 subdivisions, known as seconds. These seconds may differ from the SI second. It closely matches the de facto international civil time scale, the definition of which changes from time to time.
The Java Time-Scale has slightly different definitions for different segments of the time-line, each based on the consensus international time scale that is used as the basis for civil time. Whenever the internationally-agreed time scale is modified or replaced, a new segment of the Java Time-Scale must be defined for it. Each segment must meet these requirements:
- the Java Time-Scale shall closely match the underlying international civil time scale;
- the Java Time-Scale shall exactly match the international civil time scale at noon each day;
- the Java Time-Scale shall have a precisely-defined relationship to the international civil time scale.
For the segment from 1972-11-03 (exact boundary discussed below) until further notice, the consensus international time scale is UTC (with leap seconds). In this segment, the Java Time-Scale is identical to UTC-SLS. This is identical to UTC on days that do not have a leap second. On days that do have a leap second, the leap second is spread equally over the last 1000 seconds of the day, maintaining the appearance of exactly 86400 seconds per day.
For the segment prior to 1972-11-03, extending back arbitrarily far, the consensus international time scale is defined to be UT1, applied proleptically, which is equivalent to the (mean) solar time on the prime meridian (Greenwich). In this segment, the Java Time-Scale is identical to the consensus international time scale. The exact boundary between the two segments is the instant where UT1 = UTC between 1972-11-03T00:00 and 1972-11-04T12:00.
Implementations of the Java time-scale using the JSR-310 API are not required to provide any clock that is sub-second accurate, or that progresses monotonically or smoothly. Implementations are therefore not required to actually perform the UTC-SLS slew or to otherwise be aware of leap seconds. JSR-310 does, however, require that implementations must document the approach they use when defining a clock representing the current instant. See Clock
for details on the available clocks.
The Java time-scale is used for all date-time classes. This includes Instant
, LocalDate
, LocalTime
, OffsetDateTime
, ZonedDateTime
and Duration
.

Public methods
adjustInto
fun adjustInto(temporal: Temporal!): Temporal!
Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this instant.
This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the instant changed to be the same as this.
The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal#with(TemporalField, long)
twice, passing ChronoField#INSTANT_SECONDS
and ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND
as the fields.
In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal#with(TemporalAdjuster)
:
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisInstant.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisInstant);
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
temporal |
Temporal!: the target object to be adjusted, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
Temporal! |
the adjusted object, not null |

atOffset
fun atOffset(offset: ZoneOffset!): OffsetDateTime!
Combines this instant with an offset to create an OffsetDateTime
.
This returns an OffsetDateTime
formed from this instant at the specified offset from UTC/Greenwich. An exception will be thrown if the instant is too large to fit into an offset date-time.
This method is equivalent to OffsetDateTime.ofInstant(this, offset)
.
Parameters | |

atZone
fun atZone(zone: ZoneId!): ZonedDateTime!
Combines this instant with a time-zone to create a ZonedDateTime
.
This returns an ZonedDateTime
formed from this instant at the specified time-zone. An exception will be thrown if the instant is too large to fit into a zoned date-time.
This method is equivalent to ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(this, zone)
.

from
static fun from(temporal: TemporalAccessor!): Instant!
Obtains an instance of Instant
from a temporal object.
This obtains an instant based on the specified temporal. A TemporalAccessor
represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of Instant
.
The conversion extracts the INSTANT_SECONDS
and NANO_OF_SECOND
fields.
This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery
allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, Instant::from
.
Parameters | |

TemporalAccessor!: the temporal object to convert, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
Instant! |
the instant, not null |

get
fun get(field: TemporalField!): Int
Gets the value of the specified field from this instant as an int
.
This queries this instant for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the query is implemented here. The supported fields
will return valid values based on this date-time, except INSTANT_SECONDS
which is too large to fit in an int
and throws a DateTimeException
. All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)
passing this
as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

query
fun <R : Any!> query(query: TemporalQuery<R>!): R
Queries this instant using the specified query.
This queries this instant using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery
object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery#queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)
method on the specified query passing this
as the argument.
Parameters | |
---|---|
<R> |
the type of the result |
query |
TemporalQuery<R>!: the query to invoke, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
R |
the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query) |

range
fun range(field: TemporalField!): ValueRange!
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.
The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This instant is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the query is implemented here. The supported fields
will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)
passing this
as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.
Parameters | |
---|---|
field |
TemporalField!: the field to query the range for, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
ValueRange! |
the range of valid values for the field, not null |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.time.DateTimeException |
if the range for the field cannot be obtained |
java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException |
if the field is not supported |
toEpochMilli
fun toEpochMilli(): Long
Converts this instant to the number of milliseconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
If this instant represents a point on the time-line too far in the future or past to fit in a long
milliseconds, then an exception is thrown.
If this instant has greater than millisecond precision, then the conversion will drop any excess precision information as though the amount in nanoseconds was subject to integer division by one million.
Return | |
---|---|
Long |
the number of milliseconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.lang.ArithmeticException |
if numeric overflow occurs |
toString
fun toString(): String
A string representation of this instant using ISO-8601 representation.
The format used is the same as DateTimeFormatter#ISO_INSTANT
.
Return | |
---|---|
String |
an ISO-8601 representation of this instant, not null |
truncatedTo
fun truncatedTo(unit: TemporalUnit!): Instant!
Returns a copy of this Instant
truncated to the specified unit.
Truncating the instant returns a copy of the original with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. The fields are calculated on the basis of using a UTC offset as seen in toString
. For example, truncating with the MINUTES
unit will round down to the nearest minute, setting the seconds and nanoseconds to zero.
The unit must have a duration that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on ChronoUnit
and DAYS
. Other units throw an exception.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
unit |
TemporalUnit!: the unit to truncate to, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
Instant! |
an Instant based on this instant with the time truncated, not null |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.time.DateTimeException |
if the unit is invalid for truncation |
java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException |
if the unit is not supported |
until
fun until(
endExclusive: Temporal!,
unit: TemporalUnit!
): Long
Calculates the amount of time until another instant in terms of the specified unit.
This calculates the amount of time between two Instant
objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit
. The start and end points are this
and the specified instant. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two instants. The Temporal
passed to this method is converted to a Instant
using from(java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor)
. For example, the amount in seconds between two dates can be calculated using startInstant.until(endInstant, SECONDS)
.
There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)
:
// these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, SECONDS); amount = SECONDS.between(start, end);
The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit
. The units NANOS
, MICROS
, MILLIS
, SECONDS
, MINUTES
, HOURS
, HALF_DAYS
and DAYS
are supported. Other ChronoUnit
values will throw an exception.
If the unit is not a ChronoUnit
, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)
passing this
as the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
endExclusive |
Temporal!: the end date, exclusive, which is converted to an Instant , not null |
unit |
TemporalUnit!: the unit to measure the amount in, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
Long |
the amount of time between this instant and the end instant |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.time.DateTimeException |
if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to an Instant |
java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException |
if the unit is not supported |
java.lang.ArithmeticException |
if numeric overflow occurs |
with
fun with(adjuster: TemporalAdjuster!): Instant!
Returns an adjusted copy of this instant.
This returns an Instant
, based on this one, with the instant adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalAdjuster#adjustInto(Temporal)
method on the specified adjuster passing this
as the argument.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Parameters | |
---|---|
adjuster |
TemporalAdjuster!: the adjuster to use, not null |
Return | |
---|---|
Instant! |
an Instant based on this with the adjustment made, not null |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.time.DateTimeException |
if the adjustment cannot be made |
java.lang.ArithmeticException |
if numeric overflow occurs |
with
fun with(
field: TemporalField!,
newValue: Long
): Instant!
Returns a copy of this instant with the specified field set to a new value.
This returns an Instant
, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField
then the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:
NANO_OF_SECOND
- Returns anInstant
with the specified nano-of-second. The epoch-second will be unchanged.MICRO_OF_SECOND
- Returns anInstant
with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified micro-of-second multiplied by 1,000. The epoch-second will be unchanged.MILLI_OF_SECOND
- Returns anInstant
with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified milli-of-second multiplied by 1,000,000. The epoch-second will be unchanged.INSTANT_SECONDS
- Returns anInstant
with the specified epoch-second. The nano-of-second will be unchanged.
In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a DateTimeException
will be thrown.
All other ChronoField
instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException
.
If the field is not a ChronoField
, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long)
passing this
as the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Properties
EPOCH
static val EPOCH: Instant!
Constant for the 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z epoch instant.
MAX
static val MAX: Instant!
The maximum supported Instant
, '1000000000-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z'. This could be used by an application as a "far future" instant.
This is one year later than the maximum LocalDateTime
. This provides sufficient values to handle the range of ZoneOffset
which affect the instant in addition to the local date-time. The value is also chosen such that the value of the year fits in an int
.
MIN
static val MIN: Instant!
The minimum supported Instant
, '-1000000000-01-01T00:00Z'. This could be used by an application as a "far past" instant.
This is one year earlier than the minimum LocalDateTime
. This provides sufficient values to handle the range of ZoneOffset
which affect the instant in addition to the local date-time. The value is also chosen such that the value of the year fits in an int
.
