Date problem

[Ikasari Widiyanto]

Hi,

I have a problem getting the day from a string. I hope somebody can help me.
here is my sample code:

String currDate = "";
String month = "";
String year = "";

for(int i=1;i<=31;i++){
currDate = year+"-"+month+"-"+i;
}

I want to display only the date without the month and the year and get the day of that particular date. how to solve this problem? can anybody help me? thanks.

Not much to do with JSP, so I'm moving this off to the Java in General (intermediate) forum.

Hi Ikasari,
I think you can use Gregorian Calendar..

  
Calendar calendar1 = new GregorianCalendar(); //It give us current time
Calendar calendar2 = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, date); // It give us Gregorian calendar with specified date
 
int date = calendar1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);//Returns date
int dayOfWeek = calendar1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); //Returns day

You can refer to GregorianCalendar and Calendar API to get specific purpose you need...

Hope this helps...
Correct me if I am wrong
thanks

The DateFormatter class provides a slick way to do this with only a few lines of code:

DateFormatter df = new DateFormatter("yyyymmdd hhmm");
Date date = new Date();
String dateString = df.valueToString(date);
