ChineseCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar
 that implements a traditional Chinese calendar.  The traditional Chinese
 calendar is a lunisolar calendar: Each month starts on a new moon, and
 the months are numbered according to solar events, specifically, to
 guarantee that month 11 always contains the winter solstice.  In order
 to accomplish this, leap months are inserted in certain years.  Leap
 months are numbered the same as the month they follow.  The decision of
 which month is a leap month depends on the relative movements of the sun
 and moon.
 
All astronomical computations are performed with respect to a time zone of GMT+8:00 and a longitude of 120 degrees east. Although some calendars implement a historically more accurate convention of using Beijing's local longitude (116 degrees 25 minutes east) and time zone (GMT+7:45:40) for dates before 1929, we do not implement this here.
Years are counted in two different ways in the Chinese calendar.  The
 first method is by sequential numbering from the 61st year of the reign
 of Huang Di, 2637 BCE, which is designated year 1 on the Chinese
 calendar.  The second method uses 60-year cycles from the same starting
 point, which is designated year 1 of cycle 1.  In this class, the
 EXTENDED_YEAR field contains the sequential year count.
 The ERA field contains the cycle number, and the
 YEAR field contains the year of the cycle, a value between
 1 and 60.
 
There is some variation in what is considered the starting point of the calendar, with some sources starting in the first year of the reign of Huang Di, rather than the 61st. This gives continuous year numbers 60 years greater and cycle numbers one greater than what this class implements.
Because ChineseCalendar defines an additional field and
 redefines the way the ERA field is used, it requires a new
 format class, ChineseDateFormat.  As always, use the
 methods DateFormat.getXxxInstance(Calendar cal,...) to
 obtain a formatter for this calendar.

This class should not be subclassed.
 ChineseCalendar usually should be instantiated using
 Calendar.getInstance(ULocale) passing in a ULocale
 with the tag "@calendar=chinese".

Public methods
add
public void add (int field, 
                int amount)Override Calendar to handle leap months properly.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| field | int: the time field. | 
| amount | int: the amount to add to the field. | 
getTemporalMonthCode
public String getTemporalMonthCode ()
Gets The Temporal monthCode value corresponding to the month for the date. The value is a string identifier that starts with the literal grapheme "M" followed by two graphemes representing the zero-padded month number of the current month in a normal (non-leap) year and suffixed by an optional literal grapheme "L" if this is a leap month in a lunisolar calendar. For the Chinese calendar, the values are "M01" .. "M12" for non-leap year and * in leap year with another monthCode in "M01L" .. "M12L".
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | One of 24 possible strings in {"M01".."M12", "M01L".."M12L"}. | 
getType
public String getType ()
[icu] Returns the calendar type name string for this Calendar object. The returned string is the legacy ICU calendar attribute value, for example, "gregorian" or "japanese".
See type="old type name" for the calendar attribute of locale IDs at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Key_Type_Definitions
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | legacy calendar type name string | 
inTemporalLeapYear
public boolean inTemporalLeapYear ()
[icu] Returns true if the date is in a leap year. Recalculate the current time field values if the time value has been changed by a call to setTime(). This method is semantically const, but may alter the object in memory. A "leap year" is a year that contains more days than other years (for solar or lunar calendars) or more months than other years (for lunisolar calendars like Hebrew or Chinese), as defined in the ECMAScript Temporal proposal.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | true if the date in the fields is in a Temporal proposal defined leap year. False otherwise. | 
roll
public void roll (int field, 
                int amount)Override Calendar to handle leap months properly.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| field | int: the calendar field to roll. | 
| amount | int: the amount by which the field should be rolled. | 
setTemporalMonthCode
public void setTemporalMonthCode (String temporalMonth)
Sets The Temporal monthCode which is a string identifier that starts with the literal grapheme "M" followed by two graphemes representing the zero-padded month number of the current month in a normal (non-leap) year and suffixed by an optional literal grapheme "L" if this is a leap month in a lunisolar calendar. For the Chinese calendar, the values are "M01" .. "M12" for non-leap year and in leap year with another monthCode in "M01L" .. "M12L".
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| temporalMonth | String: One of 25 possible strings in {"M01".. "M12", "M13", "M01L",
  "M12L"}. | 
Protected methods
getFieldResolutionTable
protected int[][][] getFieldResolutionTable ()
Override Calendar to add IS_LEAP_MONTH to the field resolution table.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int[][][] | |
handleComputeFields
protected void handleComputeFields (int julianDay)
Override Calendar to compute several fields specific to the Chinese calendar system. These are:
- ERA
- YEAR
- MONTH
- DAY_OF_MONTH
- DAY_OF_YEAR
- EXTENDED_YEAR
Compute the ChineseCalendar-specific field IS_LEAP_MONTH.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| julianDay | int | 
handleComputeMonthStart
protected int handleComputeMonthStart (int eyear, 
                int month, 
                boolean useMonth)Return the Julian day number of day before the first day of the given month in the given extended year.
Note: This method reads the IS_LEAP_MONTH field to determine whether the given month is a leap month.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| eyear | int: the extended year | 
| month | int: the zero-based month.  The month is also determined
 by reading the IS_LEAP_MONTH field. | 
| useMonth | boolean: if false, compute the day before the first day of
 the given year, otherwise, compute the day before the first day of
 the given month | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the Julian day number of the day before the first day of the given month and year | 
handleGetDateFormat
protected DateFormat handleGetDateFormat (String pattern, String override, ULocale locale)

| pattern | String | 
| override | String | 
| locale | ULocale | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| DateFormat | |
handleGetExtendedYear
protected int handleGetExtendedYear ()
Implement abstract Calendar method to return the extended year defined by the current fields. This will use either the ERA and YEAR field as the cycle and year-of-cycle, or the EXTENDED_YEAR field as the continuous year count, depending on which is newer.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | the extended year | 
handleGetLimit
protected int handleGetLimit (int field, 
                int limitType)Override Calendar to return the limit value for the given field.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| field | int: one of the above field numbers |

|---|---|
| int | |
handleGetMonthLength
protected int handleGetMonthLength (int extendedYear, 
                int month)Override Calendar method to return the number of days in the given extended year and month.
Note: This method also reads the IS_LEAP_MONTH field to determine whether or not the given month is a leap month.
| Parameters | |

| month | int | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
