Abushakir (ባሕረ ሃሳብ)

The words Bahire Hasab originate from the ancient language of Ge'ez, ( Arabic: Abu Shakir) is a time-tracking method, devised by the 12th pope of Alexandria, Pope St. Dimitri.

What does it mean?

"Bahire Hasab /'bəhrɛ həsəb'/ " simply means "An age with a descriptive and chronological number". In some books it can also be found as "Hasabe Bahir", in a sense giving time an analogy, resembling a sea.

This package allows developers to implement Ethiopian Calendar and Datetime System in their application(s)`.

This package is implemented using the UNIX EPOCH which means it's not a conversion of any other calendar system into Ethiopian, for instance, Gregorian Calendar.

Unix Epoch is measured using milliseconds since 01 Jan, 1970 UTC. In unix epoch leap seconds are ignored.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• json-simple-3.0.2.jar

Getting started

In your library add the following import:

import abushakir.*;

Example

           
          /**
          * Ethiopian Datetime Module [etDateTime]
          */
           
           etDateTime now = new etDateTime();
           now = now.now();
           System.out.println(now.getDate(now.getYear(),now.getMonth(), now.getDay()));
           System.out.println(now.getTime(now.getHour(),now.getMinute(),now.getSecond()));
   
           etDateTime covidFirstConfirmed = new etDateTime(2012,  7,  4);
           etDateTime covidFirstConfirmedEpoch = covidFirstConfirmed.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(covidFirstConfirmed.moment);
   
           etDateTime covidFirstDeath = etDateTime.Parse("2012-07-26 23:00:00");
           System.out.println(covidFirstDeath.to_String());
   
           /// Comparison of two EtDatetime Instances
   
           Duration daysWithOutDeath = covidFirstConfirmed.differenceInDays(covidFirstDeath);
           System.out.println(daysWithOutDeath);  //22*24*360000
   
   
           System.out.println(covidFirstDeath.isAfter(covidFirstConfirmed));
   
           System.out.println(covidFirstDeath.isBefore(now));
   
           System.out.println(covidFirstConfirmed.isAtSameMomentAs(covidFirstConfirmedEpoch));
   
           /**
            * Ethiopian Calendar Module [ETC]
            */
   
           ETC ethiopianCalendar = new ETC( 2011,  13,  4);
   
           try {
               System.out.println(Arrays.toString(ethiopianCalendar.monthDays(true, true)));    // Iterable Object of the given month
               System.out.println(Arrays.toString(ethiopianCalendar.monthDays()));        // => [2012, 7, 1, 1]
           } catch (
                   Calander_Exceptions.MonthNumberException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
           System.out.println(ethiopianCalendar.nextMonth().getMonth()); // => ETC instance of nextMonth, same year
           System.out.println(ethiopianCalendar.previousYear().getYear()); // => ETC instance of prevYear, same month
   
   
           /**
            * Bahire Hasab Module [BahireHasab]
            */
   
   
           Bahirehasab bh2 = new Bahirehasab(); // Get's the current year
           Bahirehasab bh = new Bahirehasab(2012);
           try {
               System.out.println(bh.getSingleBealOrTsom("ትንሳኤ").toString()); // {month: ሚያዝያ, date: 16}
           } catch (Calander_Exceptions.BealNameException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
   
           System.out.println(bh.getAllAtswamat("ትንሳኤ",69).toString()); // => List of All fasting and Movable holidays
           System.out.println(bh.getEvange(true)); // => ሉቃስ
