ThreeTen Android Backport

An adaptation of the JSR-310 backport for Android.

Attention: Development on this library has concluded. Please switch to java.time.* and its core library desugaring feature.

Usage

Initialize the timezone information in your Application.onCreate() method:

@Override public void onCreate() {
  super.onCreate();
  AndroidThreeTen.init(this);
}

That's it. Otherwise usage is the exact same as the ThreeTenBP library and you should consult its website for usage information: https://www.threeten.org/threetenbp/.

Why JSR-310?

JSR-310 was included in Java 8 as the java.time.* package. It is a full replacement for the ailing Date and Calendar APIs in both Java and Android. JSR-310 was backported to Java 6 by its creator, Stephen Colebourne, from which this library is adapted.

Why not use ThreeTenBP?

Similar to the problems with using Joda-Time on Android, the threetenbp uses a JAR resource for loading timezone information. This is an extremely inefficient mechanism on Android.

This library places the timezone information as a standard Android asset and provides a custom loader for parsing it efficiently.

Why not use Joda-Time?

Joda-Time has a very large API which brings with it a very large binary size and large method count. The creator of both JSR-310 and Joda-Time has also said that while Joda-Time isn't broken, it does have design flaws.

If you are using Joda-Time already, there's little reason to switch unless its size or method count is relevant to you. For new projects, however, this library offers the standard APIs in Java 8 as a much smaller package in not only binary size and method count, but also in API size.
