All Known Implementing Classes:

TimeIntervalElement

public interface TimeInterval
extends ComparableElement<TimeInterval>, java.util.Comparator<TimeInterval>, TimeIntervalEntry

Defines a TimeInterval, the period of time something is current.

Nested Class Summary

static class

TimeInterval.Comparison Defines the set of relationships between two time intervals.

Method Summary

boolean	current() Returns true if the interval is current.
boolean	current(long time) Returns true if the interval is current at the time specified.
long	duration() Returns the duration of the interval in milliseconds.

Method Detail

startTime

long startTime()

Returns the time that the interval starts in milliseconds.

stopTime

long stopTime()

Returns the time that the interval ends in milliseconds.

Returns:

duration

long duration()

Returns the duration of the interval in milliseconds.

Note that an internval with a duration of 0 is valid, and can be used to represent a moment in time.

current

boolean current()

Returns true if the interval is current.

current

boolean current(long time)

Returns true if the interval is current at the time specified.
