An era in the Thai Buddhist calendar system.
The Thai Buddhist calendar system has two eras. The current era, for years from 1 onwards, is known as the 'Buddhist' era. All previous years, zero or earlier in the proleptic count or one and greater in the year-of-era count, are part of the 'Before Buddhist' era.

| From class[Era](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era) |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Temporal](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/Temporal.html#)! | [adjustInto](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#adjustInto(java.time.temporal.Temporal))`(`temporal:` `[Temporal](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/Temporal.html#)!`)`
Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same era as this object. This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the era 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.html#with(java.time.temporal.TemporalField,%20kotlin.Long))passing[ChronoField.ERA](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField.html#)as the field. 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.html#with(java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjuster)): ```kotlin // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisEra.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisEra); ``` This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [get](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#get(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))`(`field:` `[TemporalField](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalField.html#)!`)`
Gets the value of the specified field from this era as an`int`. This queries this era 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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField.html#)then the query is implemented here. The`ERA`field returns the value of the era. 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.
| | [Long](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html) | [getLong](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#getLong(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))`(`field:` `[TemporalField](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalField.html#)!`)`
Gets the value of the specified field from this era as a`long`. This queries this era for the value of the specified 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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField.html#)then the query is implemented here. The`ERA`field returns the value of the era. 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.
| | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | [isSupported](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#isSupported(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))`(`field:` `[TemporalField](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalField.html#)!`)`
Checks if the specified field is supported. This checks if this era can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the[range](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#range(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))and[get](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#get(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))methods will throw an exception. If the field is a[ChronoField](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField.html#)then the query is implemented here. The`ERA`field 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.
| | R | [query](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#query(java.time.temporal.TemporalQuery))`(`query:` `[TemporalQuery](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalQuery.html#)!`)`
Queries this era using the specified query. This queries this era 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.html#queryFrom(java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor))method on the specified query passing`this`as the argument.
| | [ValueRange](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ValueRange.html#)! | [range](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/chrono/Era#range(java.time.temporal.TemporalField))`(`field:` `[TemporalField](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/TemporalField.html#)!`)`
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field. The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This era 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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/time/temporal/ChronoField.html#)then the query is implemented here. The`ERA`field returns the range. 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. The default implementation must return a range for`ERA`from zero to one, suitable for two era calendar systems such as ISO.
