This is Java edition of the Prayer Times Library (v2.3) originally written in JavaScript by Hamid Zarrabi-Zadeh of PrayTimes.org and available on http://praytimes.org/code/v2/js/PrayTimes.js.
Hussain Ali Khan wrote its version 1 and available at http://praytimes.org/code/git/?a=tree&p=PrayTimes&hb=HEAD&f=v1/java,
This is an improved, bug fixed and rewritten of version 1 with more calculation methods inspired from PHP edition https://github.com/islamic-network/prayer-times; It has divulged much from the original since it was first written, so please don't use it as a 'like for like' substitute.
The library is a maven package, so to use it, includes the maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.mubasherusman</groupId>
<artifactId>prayer-times</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
Using it is rather simple:
PrayerTimes prayerTimes = PrayerTimes.builder()
//Mandatory Fields
.latitude(31.33599139999999)
.longitude(72.94605659999999)
.timezone("Asia/Karachi")
//Optional Settings, IF not provided, then the following defaults will be used
.method(Method.MWL)
.fiqh(Fiqh.STANDARD)
.latitudeAdjustmentMethod(LatAdjMethod.ANGLE_BASED)
.midnightMode(MidNightMode.STANDARD)
.timeFormat(TimeFormat.H24)
.twilightMethod(ShafaqMethod.GENERAL)
.build();
Map<DayTimeNames,Object> times = prayerTimes.computeTimes();Supported methods can be seen @ https://github.com/mubasher-usman/prayer-times/blob/master/src/main/java/io/mubasherusman/prayertimes/constants/Method.java#L12.
