HijrahDate hd=HijrahChronology.INSTANCE.date(LocalDate.of(2014,11, 25));
If we have HijrahDate
Instance , it is expected to have a method in UmalquraCalendar API
that shows the name of month :
i inspect properties of this instance using groovy API :
['era':AH,
'class':class java.time.chrono.HijrahDate,
'prolepticMonth':17233,
'eraValue':1,
'dayOfWeek':2,
'leapYear':false,
'chronology':Hijrah-umalqura,
'dayOfYear':32]
However we don't find the month name which must be one of the following list items :
- Muḥarram (محرم meaning "forbidden"), so called because battle was forbidden (haram) during this month. Muharram includes the Day of Ashura.
- Ṣafar (صفر meaning "void"), supposedly named thus because pagan Arab houses were empty this time of year while their occupants gathered food.
Rabīʿ I (Rabīʿ al-Awwal, ربيع الأوّل) meaning "the first spring".
Rabīʿ II (Rabīʿ ath-Thānī ربيع الثاني or Rabīʿ al-Ākhir ربيع الآخ
..................... ............ so on SEE
Thus , since there is no attribute save month's name , it is expwcted to have a method retrieve this info ?
The date does not contain information about the names of the months or days. To get that you need a formatter:
System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM").format(hd));
prints Safar
