Formatted string from JodaTime duration

I am trying to get formatted string from JodaTime's duration class.

Duration duration = new Duration(durationInSecond * 1000);
PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder()
                .appendDays()
                .appendSuffix(" days, ")
                .appendHours()
                .appendSuffix(" hours, ")
                .appendMinutes()
                .appendSuffix(" minutes and ")
                .appendSeconds()
                .appendSuffix(" seconds")
                .toFormatter();
String formattedString = formatter.print(duration.toPeriod());

Value of formattedString should be

65 days, 3 hours, 5 minutes and 20 seconds

But It is

1563 hours, 5 minutes, 20 seconds

1563 hours are 65 days and 3 hours but formatter is not printing in that manner.

What I'm missing here?

PeriodFormat.wordBased is same as PeriodFormat.getDefault() but accept Locale param.

import java.util.Locale
import org.joda.time.Duration
import org.joda.time.PeriodType
import org.joda.time.format.PeriodFormat


PeriodFormat.wordBased(
    Locale("en"))
    .print(
        Duration(1653419081151L)
            .toPeriod()
            .normalizedStandard(
//                PeriodType.standard() // 2733 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 4 minutes, 41 seconds and 151 milliseconds
//                PeriodType.dayTime() // 19136 days, 19 hours, 4 minutes, 41 seconds and 151 milliseconds
//                PeriodType.weeks() // 2733 weeks
                PeriodType.days() // 19136 days
            )
    )

will give you proper output in the preferred language.

Or use own PeriodType:

normalizedStandard(
            PeriodType.forFields(
                arrayOf(
                    DurationFieldType.years(),
                    DurationFieldType.months(),
                    DurationFieldType.days(),
                    DurationFieldType.hours(),
                    DurationFieldType.minutes()
                )
            )

I found using PeriodFormat.getDefault() helpful for creating the PeriodFormatter, without having to do all the extra work using the PeriodFormatterBuilder and creating your own. It gives the same result.

You may use a PeriodType along with Period.normalizedStandard(org.joda.time.PeriodType) to specify which fields you are interested in.

In your case PeriodType.dayTime()seems appropriate .

Duration duration = new Duration(durationInSecond * 1000);
PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder()
        .appendDays()
        .appendSuffix(" days, ")
        .appendHours()
        .appendSuffix(" hours, ")
        .appendMinutes()
        .appendSuffix(" minutes, ")
        .appendSeconds()
        .appendSuffix(" seconds")
        .toFormatter();

Period period = duration.toPeriod();
Period dayTimePeriod = period.normalizedStandard(PeriodType.dayTime());
String formattedString = formatter.print(dayTimePeriod);

System.out.println(formattedString);
