A month-of-year, such as 'July'.

`Month`is an enum representing the 12 months of the year - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

In addition to the textual enum name, each month-of-year has an`int`value. The`int`value follows normal usage and the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December). It is recommended that applications use the enum rather than the`int`value to ensure code clarity.

**Do not use`ordinal()`to obtain the numeric representation of`Month`. Use`getValue()`instead.**

This enum represents a common concept that is found in many calendar systems. As such, this enum may be used by any calendar system that has the month-of-year concept defined exactly equivalent to the ISO-8601 calendar system.

### adjustInto

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

```
fun adjustInto(temporal: Temporal!): Temporal!
```

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this month-of-year.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the month-of-year changed to be the same as this.

The adjustment is equivalent to using[Temporal.with(TemporalField, long)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/Temporal#with(java.time.temporal.TemporalField,%20kotlin.Long))passing[ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField)as the field. If the specified temporal object does not use the ISO calendar system then a`DateTimeException`is thrown.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using[Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/Temporal#with(java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjuster)):  

```kotlin
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
    temporal = thisMonth.adjustInto(temporal);
    temporal = temporal.with(thisMonth);
  
```

For example, given a date in May, the following are output:  

```kotlin
dateInMay.with(JANUARY);    // four months earlier
    dateInMay.with(APRIL);      // one months earlier
    dateInMay.with(MAY);        // same date
    dateInMay.with(JUNE);       // one month later
    dateInMay.with(DECEMBER);   // seven months later
  
```

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

```
fun firstMonthOfQuarter(): Month!

Gets the month corresponding to the first month of this quarter.

The year can be divided into four quarters. This method returns the first month of the quarter for the base month. January, February and March return January. April, May and June return April. July, August and September return July. October, November and December return October.

### from

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

```
static fun from(temporal: TemporalAccessor!): Month!
```

Obtains an instance of`Month`from a temporal object.

This obtains a month based on the specified temporal. A`TemporalAccessor`represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of`Month`.

The conversion extracts the[MONTH_OF_YEAR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField)field. The extraction is only permitted if the temporal object has an ISO chronology, or can be converted to a`LocalDate`.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface[TemporalQuery](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalQuery)allowing it to be used as a query via method reference,`Month::from`.

### get

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

```
fun get(field: TemporalField!): Int
```

Gets the value of the specified field from this month-of-year as an`int`.

This queries this month 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[MONTH_OF_YEAR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField)then the value of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. 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.

### isSupported

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

```
fun isSupported(field: TemporalField!): Boolean

Checks if the specified field is supported.

This checks if this month-of-year can be queried for the specified field.

If the field is[MONTH_OF_YEAR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField)then this method returns true. All other`ChronoField`instances will return false.

If the field is not a`ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking`TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)`passing`this`as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

```
static fun of(month: Int): Month!
```

Obtains an instance of`Month`from an`int`value.

`Month`is an enum representing the 12 months of the year. This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the`int`value. The`int`value follows the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December).

Returns the month-of-year that is the specified number of months after this one.

The calculation rolls around the end of the year from December to January. The specified period may be negative.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

### query

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

```
fun <R : Any!> query(query: TemporalQuery<R>!): R
```

Queries this month-of-year using the specified query.

This queries this month-of-year 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)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalQuery#queryFrom(java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor))method on the specified query passing`this`as the argument.

### range

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

```
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 month 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[MONTH_OF_YEAR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField)then the range of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. 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.
