LocalTime

- - org.joda.time.base.BaseLocal
  - - org.joda.time.LocalTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ReadablePartial>, ReadablePartial
```
public final class LocalTime
extends BaseLocal
implements ReadablePartial, java.io.Serializable
```
LocalTime is an immutable time class representing a time without a time zone.
LocalTime implements the ReadablePartial interface. To do this, the interface methods focus on the key fields - HourOfDay, MinuteOfHour, SecondOfMinute and MillisOfSecond. However, all time fields may in fact be queried.
Calculations on LocalTime are performed using a Chronology. This chronology will be set internally to be in the UTC time zone for all calculations.
Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
- getHourOfDay()
- hourOfDay().get()
The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the field:
- numeric value
- text value
- short text value
- maximum/minimum values
- add/subtract
- set
- rounding
LocalTime is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well. All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.

  - fromMillisOfDay
```
public static LocalTime fromMillisOfDay(long millisOfDay)
```
    Constructs a LocalTime from the specified millis of day using the ISO chronology.
    The millisOfDay value may exceed the number of millis in one day, but additional days will be ignored. This method uses the UTC time zone internally.
    
    Parameters:
    
    millisOfDay - the number of milliseconds into a day to convert
  - fromMillisOfDay
```
public static LocalTime fromMillisOfDay(long millisOfDay,
                                        Chronology chrono)
```
    Constructs a LocalTime from the specified millis of day using the specified chronology.
    The millisOfDay value may exceed the number of millis in one day, but additional days will be ignored. This method uses the UTC time zone internally.
    
    Parameters:
    
    millisOfDay - the number of milliseconds into a day to convert
    
    chrono - the chronology, null means ISO chronology
  - fromCalendarFields
```
public static LocalTime fromCalendarFields(java.util.Calendar calendar)
```
    Constructs a LocalTime from a java.util.Calendar using exactly the same field values.
    Each field is queried from the Calendar and assigned to the LocalTime. This is useful if you have been using the Calendar as a local time, ignoring the zone.
    One advantage of this method is that this method is unaffected if the version of the time zone data differs between the JDK and Joda-Time. That is because the local field values are transferred, calculated using the JDK time zone data and without using the Joda-Time time zone data.
    This factory method ignores the type of the calendar and always creates a LocalTime with ISO chronology. It is expected that you will only pass in instances of GregorianCalendar however this is not validated.
    
    Parameters:
    
    calendar - the Calendar to extract fields from
    
    Returns:
    
    the created LocalTime
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the calendar is null
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the date is invalid for the ISO chronology
  - fromDateFields
```
public static LocalTime fromDateFields(java.util.Date date)
```
    Constructs a LocalTime from a java.util.Date using exactly the same field values.
    Each field is queried from the Date and assigned to the LocalTime. This is useful if you have been using the Date as a local time, ignoring the zone.
    One advantage of this method is that this method is unaffected if the version of the time zone data differs between the JDK and Joda-Time. That is because the local field values are transferred, calculated using the JDK time zone data and without using the Joda-Time time zone data.
    This factory method always creates a LocalTime with ISO chronology.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - the Date to extract fields from
    
    Returns:
    
    the created LocalTime
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the calendar is null
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the date is invalid for the ISO chronology

    Compares this partial with another returning an integer indicating the order.
    The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.
    The specified object must be a partial instance whose field types match those of this partial.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<ReadablePartial>
    
    Overrides:
    
    compareTo in class AbstractPartial
    
    Parameters:
    
    partial - an object to check against
    
    Returns:
    
    negative if this is less, zero if equal, positive if greater
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if the partial is the wrong class or if it has field types that don't match
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the partial is null
  - withFields
```
public LocalTime withFields(ReadablePartial partial)
```
    Returns a copy of this time with the partial set of fields replacing those from this instance.
    For example, if the partial contains an hour and minute then those two fields will be changed in the returned instance. Unsupported fields are ignored. If the partial is null, then this is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partial - the partial set of fields to apply to this time, null ignored
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of this time with a different set of fields
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any value is invalid
  - withField
```
public LocalTime withField(DateTimeFieldType fieldType,
                           int value)
```
    Returns a copy of this time with the specified field set to a new value.
    For example, if the field type is hourOfDay then the hour of day field would be changed in the returned instance. If the field type is null, then this is returned.
    These lines are equivalent:
```
 LocalTime updated = dt.withHourOfDay(6);
 LocalTime updated = dt.withField(DateTimeFieldType.hourOfDay(), 6);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    fieldType - the field type to set, not null
    
    value - the value to set
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of this time with the field set
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
  - withFieldAdded
```
public LocalTime withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType fieldType,
                                int amount)
```
    Returns a copy of this time with the value of the specified field increased.
    If the addition is zero or the field is null, then this is returned.
    If the addition causes the maximum value of the field to be exceeded, then the value will wrap. Thus 23:59 plus two minutes yields 00:01.
    These lines are equivalent:
```
 LocalTime added = dt.plusHours(6);
 LocalTime added = dt.withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType.hours(), 6);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    fieldType - the field type to add to, not null
    
    amount - the amount to add
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of this time with the field updated
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if the result exceeds the internal capacity
  - withPeriodAdded
```

                                 int scalar)
```
