I had a function called as setDueDate(Calendar arg0).But, the value in the field is Date of format "yyyy/MM/dd".Is there any way to convert Date object to Calendar and pass it to the function.

Method for converting date to desired format: private static String convertDateToString(Date date) { SimpleDateFormat dateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd"); date=new Date(); String strDate=dateFormat.format(date); return strDate; } – Snidgha Apr 16 '14 at 13:40

Method for getting Calendar Object: private static Calendar getCalendarFromString(String str_date) throws ParseException { DateFormat formatter; Date date; if (str_date.contains(" ")) str_date = str_date.substring(0, str_date.indexOf(" ")); formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd"); date = (Date) formatter.parse(str_date); Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(date); return cal; } – Snidgha Apr 16 '14 at 13:41

Now I call My Function In This Way : Date date=new Date(); String strDate=convertDateToString(date); Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(); cal=getCalendarFromString(strDate); activityData.setDueDate(cal); – Snidgha Apr 16 '14 at 13:41

Below program is what i got from the code you provided. There is no problem with the code.
I assume you are getting error in setDueDate() function, but you did not provide it
public class ConvertDateToCalender
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Date date = new Date();
String strDate = convertDateToString(date);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal = getCalendarFromString(strDate);
//activityData.setDueDate(cal);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
private static String convertDateToString(Date date)
{
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
date=new Date();
String strDate=dateFormat.format(date);
return strDate;
}
private static Calendar getCalendarFromString(String str_date) throws ParseException
{
DateFormat formatter;
Date date;
if (str_date.contains(" "))
str_date = str_date.substring(0, str_date.indexOf(" "));
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
date = (Date) formatter.parse(str_date);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
return cal;
}
}

setDueDate() function is an inbuilt function that is provided by oracle which accepts only calendar type argument.But I should send the Date value in the form of Calendar which is not being possible since 2 days...this is the issue I am facing – Snidgha Apr 17 '14 at 06:12

@Snidgha why is there an if condition to check for space (" ") in getCalendarFromString() function. Are you sure the str_date passed is in the format "yyyy/MM/dd". – Kaleel Apr 17 '14 at 07:11
-
Actually that code is not required.ye str_date is the required format.but,when I parse it to date again the format is being changed – Snidgha Apr 17 '14 at 11:59

@Snidgha I don't see any problem running the code from my side. My last guess would be to set Locale of SimpleDateFormat. Get your locale as Locale.getDefault() – Kaleel Apr 17 '14 at 12:35
