How Do I Set Custom Date In Android

How do i set the date to 25 -12(december)- current year. eg. I am using this code public static Calendar defaultCalendar() { Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();

Solution 1:

Something like this should work:

publicstatic Calendar defaultCalendar() {
    Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    currentDate.set(currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR),Calendar.DECEMBER,25);
    return currentDate;
}

Solution 2:

You're trying to add 12 months, instead of setting the month to December (which is month 11, because the Java API is horrible). You want something like:

publicstatic Calendar defaultCalendar() {
    Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    currentDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11); // Months are 0-based!
    currentDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 25); // Clearer than DATEreturn currentDate;
}

Solution 3:

Use this it found very usefull to me though :

Take a look at SimpleDateFormat.

The basics for getting the current time in ISO8601 format:

DateFormatdf=newSimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mmZ");
Stringnow= df.format(newDate());

For other formats:

DateFormatdf=newSimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy");
    Stringnow= df.format(newDate());

or

DateFormatdf=newSimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
Stringnow= df.format(newDate());
