              int endIndex)

Creates a date from its binary representation.

Parameters:

bytes - byte array with all information

startIndex - int with the starting index of the date

endIndex - int with the end index of the date

NSDate

public NSDate(String textRepresentation)
       throws ParseException

Parses a date from its textual representation. That representation has the following pattern: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'

Parameters:

getDate

public Date getDate()

Gets the date.

Returns:

The date.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toBinary

public void toBinary(BinaryPropertyListWriter out)
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: NSObject

Generates the binary representation of the object.

Parameters:

out - The output stream to serialize the object to.

Throws:

IOException - When an IO error occurs while writing to the stream or the object structure contains data that cannot be saved.

toString

public String toString()

Generates a string representation of the date.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string representation of the date.
