java Timestamp

[Saathvik Reddy]

I want to get month and year from the timestamp.

Ex: Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(new Date().getTime());

I am using timestamp.getMonth() and timestamp.getYear() to get month and date but both the methods are deprecated.
What methods should i use instead of these deprecated methods?

Thanks,
Srikanth.

You should use a Calendar object.

You can obtain one for your locale, set it to the timestamp's time and use it as follows:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); 
cal.setTime(myTimestamp);

month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

And remember to compare the month against the month constants: Calendar.JANUARY - Calendar.DECEMBER. That way you won't get that confused when you notice that the months are 0-based
