Field Details

DEFAULT_PRECISION

public static final ca.uhn.fhir.model.api.TemporalPrecisionEnum DEFAULT_PRECISION

The default precision for this type

Constructor Details

DateType

public DateType()

Constructor

DateType

public DateType(Date theDate)

Constructor which accepts a date value and uses the DEFAULT_PRECISION for this type

DateType

public DateType(Date theDate,
 ca.uhn.fhir.model.api.TemporalPrecisionEnum thePrecision)

Constructor which accepts a date value and a precision value. Valid precisions values for this type are:

• TemporalPrecisionEnum.YEAR
• TemporalPrecisionEnum.MONTH
• TemporalPrecisionEnum.DAY

Throws:

DataFormatException - If the specified precision is not allowed for this type

DateType

public DateType(String theDate)

Constructor which accepts a date as a string in FHIR format

Throws:

DataFormatException - If the precision in the date string is not allowed for this type

DateType

public DateType(Calendar theCalendar)

Constructor which accepts a date value and uses the DEFAULT_PRECISION for this type.

DateType

public DateType(int theYear,
 int theMonth,
 int theDay)

Constructor which accepts a date value and uses the DEFAULT_PRECISION for this type.

Use caution when using this constructor: The month is 0-indexed but the day is 1-indexed in order to match the bahaviour of the Java Calendar type.

Parameters:

theYear - The year, e.g. 2015

theMonth - The month, e.g. 0 for January

theDay - The day (1 indexed) e.g. 1 for the first day of the month
