public final class Timestamp implements Comparable<Timestamp> , Serializable Represents a timestamp with nanosecond precision. Timestamps cover the range [0001-01-01, 9999-12-31].
Timestamp instances are immutable.
Static Fields MAX_VALUE
public static final Timestamp MAX_VALUE The largest legal timestamp ("9999-12-31T23:59:59Z").
MIN_VALUE
public static final Timestamp MIN_VALUE The smallest legal timestamp ("0001-01-01T00:00:00Z").
Static Methods fromProto(Timestamp proto)
public static Timestamp fromProto ( Timestamp proto ) Creates an instance of Timestamp fromcom.google.protobuf.Timestamp.
now()
public static Timestamp now () Creates an instance with current time.
of(Timestamp timestamp)
public static Timestamp of ( Timestamp timestamp ) Creates an instance representing the value oftimestamp.
of(Date date)
public static Timestamp of ( Date date ) Creates an instance representing the value ofDate.
Parameter Name Description dateDate
ofTimeMicroseconds(long microseconds)
public static Timestamp ofTimeMicroseconds ( long microseconds ) Creates an instance representing the value ofmicroseconds.
Parameter Name Description microsecondslong
ofTimeSecondsAndNanos(long seconds, int nanos)
public static Timestamp ofTimeSecondsAndNanos ( long seconds , int nanos ) Creates an instance representing the value ofseconds andnanos since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
Parameters Name Description secondslong seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. A negative value is the number of seconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
nanosint the fractional seconds component, in the range 0..999999999.
parseTimestamp(String timestamp)
public static Timestamp parseTimestamp ( String timestamp ) Parameter Name Description timestampString
parseTimestampDuration(String timestamp)
public static Timestamp parseTimestampDuration ( String timestamp ) Creates a Timestamp instance from the given string. Input string should be in the RFC 3339 format, like '2020-12-01T10:15:30.000Z' or with the timezone offset, such as '2020-12-01T10:15:30+01:00'.
Parameter Name Description timestampString string in the RFC 3339 format
Returns Type Description Timestamp created Timestamp
