Converts the years and months fields into the days field by using a specific time instant as the reference point.
[Android.Runtime.Register("normalizeWith", "(Ljava/util/Calendar;)Ljavax/xml/datatype/Duration;", "GetNormalizeWith_Ljava_util_Calendar_Handler")]
public abstract Javax.Xml.Datatype.Duration? NormalizeWith (Java.Util.Calendar? startTimeInstant);[<Android.Runtime.Register("normalizeWith", "(Ljava/util/Calendar;)Ljavax/xml/datatype/Duration;", "GetNormalizeWith_Ljava_util_Calendar_Handler")>]
abstract member NormalizeWith : Java.Util.Calendar -> Javax.Xml.Datatype.DurationParameters
- startTimeInstant
- Calendar
Calendar reference point.
Returns
Duration of years and months of this Duration as days.
- Attributes
Exceptions
If the startTimeInstant parameter is null.
Remarks
Converts the years and months fields into the days field by using a specific time instant as the reference point.
For example, duration of one month normalizes to 31 days given the start time instance "July 8th 2003, 17:40:32".
Formally, the computation is done as follows:
<ol> <li>the given Calendar object is cloned</li> <li>the years, months and days fields will be added to the Calendar object by using the Calendar#add(int,int) method</li> <li>the difference between the two Calendars in computed in milliseconds and converted to days, if a remainder occurs due to Daylight Savings Time, it is discarded</li> <li>the computed days, along with the hours, minutes and seconds fields of this duration object is used to construct a new Duration object.</li> </ol>
Note that since the Calendar class uses int to hold the value of year and month, this method may produce an unexpected result if this duration object holds a very large value in the years or months fields.
