You’ll probably have to tweak this a bit for your own format, but try something along these lines: PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder() .appendDays().appendSuffix(“d “) .appendHours().appendSuffix(“h “) .appendMinutes().appendSuffix(“min”) .toFormatter(); Period p = formatter.parsePeriod(“2d 5h 30min”); note that there is a appendSuffix that takes a variants parameter if you need to make it more flexible.

Use the Seconds class: DateTime now = DateTime.now(); DateTime dateTime = now.plusMinutes(10); Seconds seconds = Seconds.secondsBetween(now, dateTime); System.out.println(seconds.getSeconds()); This piece of code prints out 600. I think this is what you need. As further advice, explore the documentation of joda-time. It’s pretty good, and most things are very easy to discover. In case you need … Read more
in app/build.gradle file, add like this- dependencies { compile ‘joda-time:joda-time:2.9.4′ } You don’t need to do anything else. You need the latest release, check out the release page https://github.com/JodaOrg/joda-time/releases and change the version accordingly.
It seems like you’re trying to get from a specific local time to a DateTime instance and you want that to be robust against daylight savings. Try this… (note I’m in US/Eastern, so our transition date was 13 Mar 11; I had to find the right date to get the exception you got today. Updated … Read more
The official statement of the author of Joda-time himself is to migrate as soon as Java-8 is available. See also this citation from the website: Note that Joda-Time is considered to be a largely “finished” project. No major enhancements are planned. If using Java SE 8, please migrate to java.time (JSR-310). So the short answer … Read more
You’re probably looking for LocalDate(Object). It’s a bit confusing since it takes a generic Object, but the docs indicate that it will use a ConverterManager that knows how to handle a String if you pass a String to the constructor, e.g. LocalDate myDate = new LocalDate(“2010-04-28”);
OK, further Googling gave me the answer to my own question: use withOffsetParsed(), as so: final DateTimeFormatter df = DateTimeFormat .forPattern(“EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss ‘GMT’Z yyyy”); final DateTime dateTime = df.withOffsetParsed() .parseDateTime(“Mon Aug 24 12:36:46 GMT+1000 2009”); This works.
There are various methods on LocalDate for this, including: LocalDate::toDateTimeAtCurrentTime() LocalDate::toDateTimeAtStartOfDay() LocalDate::toDateTime( LocalTime ) LocalDate::toDateTime( LocalTime , DateTimeZone ) You have to be explicit about what you want the time component to be in the resulting DateTime object, which is why DateTime‘s general-conversion constructor can’t do it.
If you only want to set the default timezone for joda time, use DateTimeZone.setDefault. If you want to change the timezone that the whole jvm uses use TimeZone.setDefault method. Just be sure to set it early as it can be cached by joda time.. quoted from DateTimeZone.getDefault: The default time zone is derived from the … Read more
