HijrahDate from() method in Java with Example

The from() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate class is used to get the hijrah date according to the hijrah calendar system for the particular temporal object.

Syntax:

public static HijrahDate from(
      TemporalAccessor temporal)

Parameter: This method takes the object of any temporal accessor on the basis of which Hijrah date is going to be formed.

Return Value: This method returns the Hijrah date according to the Hijrah calendar system for the specified temporal object.

Below are the examples to illustrate the from() method:

Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// from() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // creating and initializing
            // TemporalAccessor object
            ZonedDateTime zonedate
                = ZonedDateTime
                      .parse(
                          "2018-10-25T23:12:31."
                          + "123+02:00[Europe/Paris]");

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.from(zonedate);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println(
                "passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date");
            System.out.println(
                "Exception thrown: "
                + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1440-02-16

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// from() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {

    {
        try {

            // creating and initializing
            // TemporalAccessor object
            LocalDateTime localdate
                = LocalDateTime.parse(
                    "2018-12-30T19:34:50.63");

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.from(localdate);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println(
                "passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date");
            System.out.println(
                "Exception thrown: "
                + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1440-04-23
