How to set Current Time

[Former Member]

hi,

i am setting the current date in WD Java using the following code:

java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();

java.sql.Date sqlToday = new java.sql.Date(today.getTime());

wdContext.currentContextElement().setmydate(sqlToday);

it is functioning correctly.

my question is:

Hi,

wdContext.currentContextElement().setmydate(new Date (System.currentTimeMillis())); //--This will give you current date.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.getTime() ; //---- This will give you time.

Hi,

Use this method.

System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString

Hi Adnan,

To get the current time you can use the below code

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.getTime();// This will give you current time

Now if you want to print the date in desired format then you can use below mentioned code.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMMM yyyy");

String Date = sdf.format(cal.getTime();

Hope this will help

Hi,

Use Below Code for setting a time & date

SimpleDateFormat fSDateFormat = null;
fSDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z");
java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date ();
String date_out = fSDateFormat.format (now);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setmydate(date_out);

Hi Adnan,

Convert is from date to string :

String bldate=item.getBilling_Date();
	   
										String byy=bldate.substring(0,4);
										String bmm=bldate.substring(4,6);
										String bdd=bldate.substring(6,8);
										String bdate=byy+"-"+bmm+"-"+bdd;					
										java.sql.Date bildate=java.sql.Date.valueOf(bdate);
	
							
elem1.setBilling_Date(bildate);
