add day to Date using Calendar.add() question

[Andreas Markitanis]

Hi everyone

I have been trying the following:

   


Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.setTime(d); // d is a Date object 31/07/2010 or 07/31/2010.

cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);

System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy").format(c1.getTime())); // prints 01/07/2010


 

My question is how can i make it print 01/08/2010?I googled online but couldn't find anything....

anyone can point me in the right direction??

Thank you very much

Ah, a common mistake.

Check the SimpleDateFormat docs, and you'll see:

m = Minute in hour
M = Month in year

Did you try, Calendar's set(int field, int value) method?
That might help.
Set your month to 8 or do a month = month+1.
Just see the APIs, you'll get it for yourself.

ah thanks Matthew! problem solved ;-)

I knew that MM is months but probably didn't realize at the time.
