Is there any library or algorithm for Persian (Shamsi or Jalali) calendar in Android?
I'm using this algorithm for years and it is very accurate between 1901 and 2099.
Use it and Enjoy! :)

I think this java class is easier to use and more reliable. I found it in Iranian forum, Iranians use Jalali Calendar and call it "Shamsi" that means Solar calendar. this is the Java class:

You can easily set the Gregorian Day, Month and Year, then call "getIranianDate()" method to get the date in string format, just like the sample code below:
MyUtil.CalendarTool ct = new CalendarTool(2012,10,10);
System.out.println(ct.getIranianDate());
I hope it helps.
Use IBM's International Components for Unicode (icu4j). It is part of Unicode Consortium, is extremely reliable and can be used in any java project (Java EE, Java SE, Android, etc). Use it with Gradle, Maven or simply by downloading the jar.

Java 7 and before:
You can expect all of functionalities of java.util.Calendar in addition to some other ones:
import com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar;
import com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale;
...
ULocale locale = new ULocale("fa_IR@calendar=persian");
Calendar persianCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(locale);
persianCalendar.clear();
persianCalendar.set(1395, 3, 10); // Tir(4th month) 10th 1395 equivalent to June 30th 2016
java.util.Date gregorianDate = persianCalendar.getTime();
System.out.println(gregorianDate); // Thu Jun 30 00:00:00 IDT 2016
// Gregorian to Persian
java.util.Calendar gregorianCal = java.util.GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
gregorianCal.set(2016, java.util.Calendar.JUNE, 30);
persianCalendar.setTime(gregorianCal.getTime());
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)); // 1395
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)); // 3
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); // 10
WARNING: Note that month field is zero based in Java calendar so by calendar.set(1395, 3, 10) calendar will represent 4th month of 1395, not 3rd!
If you need text outputs in persian:
import com.ibm.icu.text.DateFormat;
import com.ibm.icu.text.SimpleDateFormat;
...
// full date output in persian
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, locale);
System.out.println(df.format(persianCalendar.getTime()));
// year output in persian
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat(SimpleDateFormat.YEAR, locale);
System.out.println(sdf1.format(persianCalendar.getTime()));
// month name output in persian
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat(SimpleDateFormat.MONTH, locale);
System.out.println(sdf2.format(persianCalendar.getTime()));
// weekday name output in persian
SimpleDateFormat sdf3 = new SimpleDateFormat(SimpleDateFormat.WEEKDAY, locale);
System.out.println(sdf3.format(persianCalendar.getTime()));
// full date output in YY/MM/dd form
SimpleDateFormat sdf4 = new SimpleDateFormat("YY/MM/dd", locale);
System.out.println(sdf4.format(persianCalendar.getTime()));
Output:
ه.ش. ۱۳۹۵ تیر ۱۰, پنجشنبه
۱۳۹۵
تیر
پنجشنبه
۹۵/۰۴/۱۰
If you need output to be in english, change new ULocale("fa_IR@calendar=persian") to new ULocale("en@calendar=persian").
Output:
AP 1395 Tir 10, Thu
1395
Tir
Thu
95/04/10
Other nice things:
// Get number of days in month
System.out.println(persianCalendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); // 31
// Get first day of week
System.out.println(persianCalendar.getFirstDayOfWeek()); // 7 (Saturday according to docs)
// Add some amount of time
persianCalendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 2);
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)); //1395
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)); // 5
System.out.println(persianCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); // 10
For other functionalities see icu4j demos, specially:
- demo of various calendar fields
- list of Tuesdays and Thursdays of current year
- demo of converting number to text representation (use
fa_IRfor locale)
Also see Calendar and PersianCalendar API.
Java 8 onward:
In order to use java.time classes like ZonedDateTime or LocalDateTime, you could simply use this methods to convert a persian date to preferred classes:
import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import com.ibm.icu.util.Calendar;
import com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale;
...
public static LocalDateTime fromPersianDateToLocalDateTime(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minutes, int seconds) {
return fromPersianDateToZonedDateTime(year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds).toLocalDateTime();
}
public static ZonedDateTime fromPersianDateToZonedDateTime(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minutes, int seconds) {
return toZonedDateTime(fromPersianDate(year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds));
}
public static long fromPersianDate(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minutes, int seconds) {
Calendar persianCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(new ULocale("fa_IR@calendar=persian"));
persianCalendar.clear();
persianCalendar.set(year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds);
return persianCalendar.getTimeInMillis();
}
public static ZonedDateTime toZonedDateTime(Long epochMilli) {
if(epochMilli == null) return null;
return Instant.ofEpochMilli(epochMilli).atZone(ZoneId.of("Asia/Tehran"));
}
Remarks About Jar Size
If you're concerned about icu4j's jar size , then you may rebuild it and just use the Calendar module (2,176KB). More Info: ver. 57 or earlier , ver. 58 or later using ICU Data Build Tool.
