LocalTimeStringConverter

public LocalTimeStringConverter(FormatStyle timeStyle)

Create a StringConverter for LocalTime values, using a default formatter and parser with the specified FormatStyle and based on the user's Locale.

Parameters:: timeStyle - The FormatStyle that will be used by the default formatter and parser. If null then FormatStyle.SHORT will be used.

LocalTimeStringConverter

public LocalTimeStringConverter(FormatStyle timeStyle, Locale locale)

Create a StringConverter for LocalTime values, using a default formatter and parser with the specified FormatStyle and Locale.

Parameters:: timeStyle - The FormatStyle that will be used by the default formatter and parser. If null then FormatStyle.SHORT will be used.; locale - The Locale that will be used by the default formatter and parser. If null then Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT) will be used.

LocalTimeStringConverter

public LocalTimeStringConverter(DateTimeFormatter formatter, DateTimeFormatter parser)

Create a StringConverter for LocalTime values using the supplied formatter and parser, which are responsible for choosing the desired Locale.

For example, a fixed pattern can be used for converting both ways:

 String pattern = "HH:mm:ss";
 DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(pattern);
 StringConverter<LocalTime> converter =
     DateTimeStringConverter.getLocalTimeConverter(formatter, null);

Parameters:: formatter - An instance of DateTimeFormatter which will be used for formatting by the toString() method. If null then a default formatter will be used.; parser - An instance of DateTimeFormatter which will be used for parsing by the fromString() method. This can be identical to formatter. If null, then formatter will be used, and if that is also null, then a default parser will be used.
