Is there a Java library for muslim prayer times calculation?

Question

Can anyone tell me where to find a Java library that does Muslim prayer time calculation based on the city? Maybe a web service? I would prefer a Java library.

I agree with AlbertoPL - it could be an interesting project! — Rob, May 11 '09 at 15:22

hello, it's not a library but a student project. But quite well executed.

Or : http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2956 A method to calcul prayer time with google map+local time ( in short : check where you are, check how far your are from the Makkah , apply the right formula )

You can make use of the PrayTimes library.

It's originally written in JavaScript, but there are ports to other languages as well.
