alternative to LocalTime checking if time is in range between two times

I have a code that supports only API Level >= 26 in android:
public static String in = "7:00:00";
public static String in_until = "11:50:00";
public static String breakout_out = "11:51:00";
public static String breakout_out_until = "12:50:00";
public static String breakout_in = "12:51:00";
public static String breakout_in_until = "13:10:00";
public static String out = "16:50";
public static String getCurrentTimeLogType() {
// LocalTime target = LocalTime.parse( DataHandler.timestamp().split(" ")[1] ) ;
LocalTime target = LocalTime.parse("7:30:00") ;
if (target.isBefore(in) || (target.isAfter(in) && target.isBefore(in_until)))
return "TIME-IN";
else if (target.isAfter(breakout_out) && target.isBefore(breakout_out_until))
return "BREAK-OUT";
else if (target.isAfter(breakout_in) && target.isBefore(breakout_in_until))
return "BREAK IN";
else if (target.isAfter(out))
return "TIME-OUT";
return "UNKNOWN!";
}
I want to return if the specified time in the variables is within the current time to return what type of timestamp to add to database.
For example if today is 12:05 PM:
if (12:05 >= breakout_out && 12:05 <= breakout_out_until)
return "BREAK-OUT"
I want to achieve something like this. How can I achieve a code like this without using the unsupported LocalTime module?

What about something like below. Not tested though.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
Date breakout_out = sdf.parse("11:51:00");
Date breakout_out_until = sdf.parse("13:10:00");
Date current_time = sdf.parse("12.05.00");
if(current_time.before(breakout_out_until) && current_time.after(breakout_out)) {
return "BREAK-OUT"
}

As the error message says, you use Saxon-HE, but extension functions in Java are only supported by Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE. The Saxon-Docs mention this explicitly.
I guess you have two options
Buy Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE
Implement your functions in XSL

Avoiding a particular check for YYYY-MM--dd format in date

I have below method in which different date patterns have been handled
below is the method in which different date formats have been handled now
now for the particulat format YYYY-MM-dd i don't want it to go for the check where we are prefixing 20 before in code please advise how can i skip that part lets say if the date pattern is YYYY-MM-dd then avoid the logic of prefixing 20 in front of year
below is my code
public java.util.Date extractDate(String dateStr, String dateType) {
String[] datePatternsOfUk = { "d-M-yy", "d-M-yyyy", "d/M/yy", "d/M/yyyy", "yyyy-MM-dd","dd-MM-yy", "dd-MMM-yy","dd-MMM-yyyy","dd-MM-yyyy",
"dd/MM/yy","dd/MMM/yy","dd/MMM/yyyy"};
String[] datePatternsOfUs = { "M-d-yy","MM-dd-yy","M/d/yy","MM/dd/yy", "MM/dd/yy", "MMM-dd-yy",
"MMM/dd/yy", "MMM-dd-yyyy", "MM-dd-yyyy", "MMM/dd/yyyy",
"MM/dd/yyyy" };
java.util.Date date = null;
String[] datePatterns = datePatternsOfUk;
if (dateType.equals("US")) {
datePatterns = datePatternsOfUs;
} else if (dateType.equals("UK")) {
datePatterns = datePatternsOfUk;
}
///******code should not go in this check where date pattern is YYYY-MM-dd
int p = dateStr.lastIndexOf("/");
if (p == -1) {
p = dateStr.lastIndexOf("-");
}
String firstSubstring = dateStr.substring(0, p + 1);
String secondSubstring = dateStr.substring(p + 1);
if (p != -1 && secondSubstring.length() <= 2) {
secondSubstring = Integer.toString(2000 + Integer.parseInt(secondSubstring));
dateStr = firstSubstring + secondSubstring;
}
///****************************************//
try {
date = DateUtils.parseDate(dateStr, datePatterns);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
logger.error("##$$$$$### Error in invoice inside extractDate method : ##$$$$$$#### "
+ ErrorUtility.getStackTraceForException(ex));
}
return date;
}

You could avoid trying any inappropriate pattern by checking if the string "looks like" the pattern before parsing with the pattern.
The general way to do this is:
String datePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"; // for example
String input;
if (input.matches(datePattern.replaceAll("\\w", "\\d"))) {
// the input looks like the pattern
// in this example "dddd-dd-dd" where "d" is any digit
// so go ahead and try the parse
}
You can enhance this logic to add:
if (input.matches("\\d\\d\\D.*")) {
// then it only has a two digit year, so add "20" to the front
}

if (!dateStr.equals("YYYY-MM-dd")) {
// code
}

adding Gregorian Calendar dates to an array and retrieving the date to print in a string

I am writing a credit card program. I want the program to use the current date every time the method is used to make a purchase and put the date into the array
private GregorianCalendar transDate;
public CreditCard(double amount,String storeName, GregorianCalendar transDate) {
this.amount=amount;
this.storeName=storeName;
transDate=new GregorianCalendar();
}
public void purchase(double amount, String storeName, GregorianCalendar date)throws Exception
{
if (numPurchases<purchases.length)
if (amount >0 )
if(amount+balance<=creditLimit)
if( GregorianCalendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis()<=expDate.getTimeInMillis())
{
balance+=amount;
transDate=getTransDate();
purchases[numPurchases] = new CreditCard(amount, storeName,transDate);
numPurchases++;
}
else
{
throw new Exception("card expired");
}
else{
throw new Exception("insufficient credit");
}
else{
throw new Exception("invalid amount");
}
else{
throw new Exception("exceeded number of allowed purchases");
}
}
I would like to display the information in String info
info+="Purchases:\n";
for(int index=0;index<numPurchases;index++){
info+="["+(index+1)+"] ";
info+=transDate.get(Calendar.YEAR)+"\t";
info+= purchases[index].getStoreName()+"\t";
info+=(formatter.format(purchases[index].getPurchase()))+"\n" ;
}
how do I need to set up the code to use the current date and add it to the array and display it in the string

Why don't you use a List implementation instead of an array? You can override the toString method to print it the way you want.
final SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
List<Calendar> dates = new ArrayList<Calendar>() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -5079502477457556887L;
#Override
public String toString() {
Iterator<Calendar> i = iterator();
if (!i.hasNext())
return "[]";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append('[');
for (;;) {
Calendar c = i.next();
sb.append(formatter.format(c.getTime()));
if (! i.hasNext())
return sb.append(']').toString();
sb.append(", ");
}
}
};
dates.add(Calendar.getInstance());
dates.add(Calendar.getInstance());
System.out.println(dates);

What does your getTransDate() function do? Ideally it should return the transDate variable of CreditCard object. To calculate transDate for a purchase, you are better off renaming the method to calculateTransDate() or something like that.
Once you have getTransDate() method returning the transDate, your info string can be :
info+="Purchases:\n";
for(int index=0;index<numPurchases;index++){
info+="["+(index+1)+"] ";
info+=purchases[index].getTransDate().get(Calendar.YEAR)+"\t";
info+= purchases[index].getStoreName()+"\t";
info+=(formatter.format(purchases[index].getPurchase()))+"\n"
}

Check date format before parsing

I am parsing several documments with the field Duration. But in the differents files, it is in differnt formats, ex:
"Duration": "00:43"
"Duration": "113.046"
"Duration": "21.55 s"
I want to parse all of them to the format "Duration": "113.046", how could I check before any parsing in wich format it is??
Some conditions before this piece of code, because this is not right for all of them:
Long duration;
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
try {
Date durationD = sdf.parse(totalDuration);
Date zeroSec = sdf.parse("00:00:00");
duration = durationD.getTime() - zeroSec.getTime();
} catch (Exception e) {
duration = Long.parseLong(totalDuration);
}
Thanks in advance

You could match the pattern with help of regex and then format accordingly. Here's a kickoff example:
Map<Pattern, DateFormat> dateFormatPatterns = new HashMap<Pattern, DateFormat>();
dateFormatPatterns.put(Pattern.compile("\\d{1,2}:\\d{2}"), new SimpleDateFormat("H:m"));
dateFormatPatterns.put(Pattern.compile("\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{3}"), new SimpleDateFormat("s.S"));
dateFormatPatterns.put(Pattern.compile("\\d{1,2}\\.\\d{2} s"), new SimpleDateFormat("s.S 's'"));
String[] strings = { "00:43", "113.046", "21.55 s" };
DateFormat finalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
for (String string : strings) {
for (Pattern pattern : dateFormatPatterns.keySet()) {
if (pattern.matcher(string).matches()) {
Date date = dateFormatPatterns.get(pattern).parse(string);
String formattedTime = finalFormat.format(date);
System.out.println(formattedTime);
break;
}
}
}
This yields here
00:43:00
00:01:53
00:00:21

If these are all your known input formats, then convert your input to your expected date format.
Just string-replace all : with . and remove s.

Do not forget to strip the spaces, too. By the way, "113.046" seems a bit odd date format to me - if I were in your shoes, I would have used some of the standard date time formats and convert the irregular ones.

My solution, not smart at all:
long DurationFixer(String duration){
long durationLong = 0;
if(duration.contains(":")){
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss");
try {
Date durationD = sdf.parse(duration);
Date zeroSec = sdf.parse("00:00:00");
durationLong = durationD.getTime() - zeroSec.getTime();
} catch (Exception e) {
durationLong = (Long.parseLong(duration))/1000;
}
}
else{
String r = "";
if(duration.contains("s")){
for (int i = 0; i < duration.length()-2; i ++) {
if ((duration.charAt(i) == '.'))
break;
else
r += duration.charAt(i);
}
}
durationLong = Long.valueOf(r);
}
return durationLong;
}
If someone could find a better solution, please, tell me.
Thanks everybody!
