Convert String in Date format

U can do it by using SimpleDateFormat class.

Try this

<b>try</b>{

SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");

Date dt=sdf.parse(dtstr);

} <b>catch</b>(ParseException ex) {

Hi Guillermo,

one approach is to use the SimpleDateFormat formatter object (Javadoc herehttp://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html">here>) for your string value.

Here is a sample code:

public class StringToDate
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
 
        try
        {
            Date today = df.parse("01/01/2007");            
            System.out.println("Jan 1st 2007 = " + df.format(today));
        } catch (ParseException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Hi Guillermo another way for converting date format......

Wherever u want to convert date simply call this method..

public String strDate(Date objDate)

{

Calendar objCal=Calendar.getInstance();

objCal.setTime(objDate);

int intDate=objCal.get(Calendar.DATE);

int intMonth=objCal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1;

int intYear=objCal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

return ""intDate"."intMonth"."+intYear;

}

And another process

StringTokenizer objstr1=new StringTokenizer(objstr,"-");

String year=objstr1.nextToken();

String month=objstr1.nextToken();

String total=objstr1.nextToken();

StringTokenizer objstr3=new StringTokenizer(total," ");

String date=objstr3.nextToken();

String Time=objstr3.nextToken();

String objstr2=""date"/"month"/"+year;

wherever u want to add date simply add objstr2....

Hope this is helpful to u......
