Below are the examples to illustrate the eras() method: 

Example 1: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// eras() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now();
 
            // getting HijrahChronology
            // used in HijrahDate
            HijrahChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting all HijrahEras present
            // by using eras() method
            List<Era> list = crono.eras();
 
            // display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahEra is: "
                               + (list.iterator()).next());
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("HijrahEra is invalid");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

HijrahEra is: AH

Example 2: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// eras() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.now(
                    Clock.systemDefaultZone());
 
            // getting HijrahChronology
            // used in HijrahDate
            HijrahChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting all HijrahEras present
            // by using eras() method
            List<Era> list = crono.eras();
 
            // display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahEra is: "
                               + (list.iterator())
                                     .next());
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("HijrahEra is invalid");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

HijrahEra is: AH
