Get an array of Holidays
Problem:
You want to know what holidays are common for a locale.
Solution:
Icu4j contains a system to help the Java developer handle international holidays. The Holiday class is simple to use, and has failry complete data.
To get an Array of all Holidays for Mexico:
//Get a ULocale
ULocale locale = new ULocale("es_MX");
//Get an array of Holidays
Holiday[] holidays = Holiday.getHolidays(locale);
//Loop through all of the Holidays and output the localized display name
for(int x = 0; x < holidays.length; x++){
System.out.println(holidays[x].getDisplayName(locale));
}
The output:
New Year's Day
Constitution Day
Benito Juárez Day
May Day
Cinco de Mayo
Navy Day
Independence Day
Día de la Raza
All Saints' Day
Day of the Dead
Revolution Day
Flag Day
Christmas
