Using the Calendar API I want to store the date of object creation in its instance field. The object is then saved to a text file.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date todaysDate = cal.getTime();
Object obj = new Object(todaysDate);
Later, I want to return the month the object was created. However, the date was stored as type 'Date'and AFAIK the Date API doesn't have a method to return the month.
Is there a way to store the date in a variable that allows me to use Calendar methods?
Something like this. Get Calendar from Date. Month number is started from 0
// current date
Date todaysDate = calendar.getTime();
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
// Init `Calendar` from `Date`
calendar.setTime(todaysDate);
// Get month nimber from `Calendar` object
final int monthNumber = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
Try this my friend
public static void main(String[] args) {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date todaysDate = cal.getTime();
int month = todaysDate.getMonth()+1;
System.out.println(month);
}
