BuddhistCalendar is a subclass of GregorianCalendar
* that numbers years since the birth of the Buddha. This is the civil calendar
* in some predominantly Buddhist countries such as Thailand, and it is used for
* religious purposes elsewhere.
* * The Buddhist calendar is identical to the Gregorian calendar in all respects * except for the year and era. Years are numbered since the birth of the * Buddha in 543 BC (Gregorian), so that 1 AD (Gregorian) is equivalent to 544 * BE (Buddhist Era) and 1998 AD is 2541 BE. *
* The Buddhist Calendar has only one allowable era: BE. If the
* calendar is not in lenient mode (see setLenient), dates before
* 1/1/1 BE are rejected with an IllegalArgumentException.
*
* This class should not be subclassed.
*
* BuddhistCalendar usually should be instantiated using
* {@link android.icu.util.Calendar#getInstance(ULocale)} passing in a ULocale
* with the tag "@calendar=buddhist".
ERA
* value for the Buddhist calendar.
