Calendar.getInstance()和GregorianCalendar.getInstance()之间的区别

标签: java calendar

自从它首次引入以取代日期以来,我一直在使用静态方法 Calendar.getInstance()来获取新的日历宾语。我从来没有遇到任何问题,但我只是想知道是否更好地使用 GregorianCalendar.getInstance()方法。

我的程序是否可以在某些语言环境或某些JVM中运行,其中超类版本将返回我不期望的对象类?除了 GregorianCalendar 之外,有没有实现广泛使用的日历

正如我所说,我现在没有遇到任何问题,但我一直在寻求改善我的做法。

是的,日历可以返回特定于语言环境的日历。来自消息来源。
