converting String to Calendar. What is the easiest way?

Question

What is the simplest and easiest way to convert formatted String to Calendar? For example 'dd.MM.yyyy' to Calendar?

Of course I did. And didn't find any simple answer. Thanks for help... — Ksice, Aug 03 '12 at 08:29

Try this piece of code:

String dateStr = "04/05/2010"; 

SimpleDateFormat curFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); 
Date dateObj = curFormater.parse(dateStr); 
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar .setTime(dateObj)

Try:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
Calendar calendarDate = Calendar.getInstance();
if (calendarDate!= null) {
strdate = sdf.format(calendarDate.getTime());
}
