# Time public class **Time** extends [Date](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/util/Date.html)
A thin wrapper around the `java.util.Date` class that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIME` value. The `Time` class adds formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for time values. The date components should be set to the "zero epoch" value of January 1, 1970 and should not be accessed. ### Public Constructor Summary |---|---| | | [Time](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html#Time(int,%20int,%20int))(int hour, int minute, int second) *This constructor is deprecated.

Returns a value that is the result of subtracting 1900 from the year that contains or begins with the instant in time represented by this `Date` object, as interpreted in the local time zone. ##### Returns - the year represented by this date, minus 1900. ##### Throws | [IllegalArgumentException](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html) | if this method is invoked | |---|---| ##### See Also - `https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html#setYear(int)` #### public void **setDate** (int i) **This method is deprecated.** This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a date component. Sets the day of the month of this Date object to the specified value. This Date object is modified so that it represents a point in time within the specified day of the month, with the year, month, hour, minute, and second the same as before, as interpreted in the local time zone. If the date was April 30, for example, and the date is set to 31, then it will be treated as if it were on May 1, because April has only 30 days. ##### Parameters | i | the day of the month value between 1-31. | |---|---| ##### Throws | [IllegalArgumentException](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html) | if this method is invoked | |---|---| ##### See Also - `https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html#getDate()` #### public void **setMonth** (int i) **This method is deprecated.** This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a month component.

If the date was October 31, for example, and the month is set to June, then the new date will be treated as if it were on July 1, because June has only 30 days. ##### Parameters | i | the month value between 0-11. | |---|---| ##### Throws | [IllegalArgumentException](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html) | if this method is invoked | |---|---| ##### See Also - `https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html#getMonth()` #### public void **setTime** (long time) Sets a `Time` object using a milliseconds time value. ##### Parameters | time | milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT; a negative number is milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT | |---|---| #### public void **setYear** (int i) **This method is deprecated.** This method is deprecated and should not be used because SQL `TIME` values do not have a year component. Sets the year of this Date object to be the specified value plus 1900. This `Date` object is modified so that it represents a point in time within the specified year, with the month, date, hour, minute, and second the same as before, as interpreted in the local time zone. (Of course, if the date was February 29, for example, and the year is set to a non-leap year, then the new date will be treated as if it were on March 1.) ##### Parameters | i | the year value. | |---|---| ##### Throws | [IllegalArgumentException](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html) | if this method is invoked | |---|---| ##### See Also - `https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html#getYear()` #### public [String](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/String.html) **toString** () Formats a time in JDBC time escape format. ##### Returns - a `String` in hh:mm:ss format #### public static [Time](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/sql/Time.html) **valueOf** ([String](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/String.html) s) Converts a string in JDBC time escape format to a `Time` value. ##### Parameters | s | time in format "hh:mm:ss" | |---|---| ##### Returns - a corresponding `Time` object
