public class TimeMask

extends Time

A time mask is a type of Time object that is used when comparing Time/Date values and which does not validate its date when being encoded and decoded. This allows it to have zero values for certain fields where these values would not normally be allowed (e.g. day or month). This allows a zero value to be considered a "Don't Care" value.

setDateOnly

public TimeMask setDateOnly(int day,
                            int month,
                            int year)

setTimeOnly

public TimeMask setTimeOnly(int hours,
                            int minutes,
                            int seconds)

setEncodedTime

public Time setEncodedTime(long from)

This converts from a 64-bit encoded values saving the year, month, day, hours, min, sec, millisec in a platform independent manner. This value should not be used for calculations but only for storage or transmission.
