I have a date on String, like this:
String date="25.07.2007";
And I want to divide it to:
String day;
String month;
String year;
What is the best way to do this?
One way to split a string in Java is to use .split(“regex”) which splits a string according to the pattern provided, returning a String array.
String [] dateParts = date.split(".");
String day = dateParts[0];
String month = dateParts[1];
String year = dateParts[2];
To get current date:
You can also change the format of the date by changing the values passed to SimpleDateFormat. Don’t forget the imports.
DateFormat dateFormater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
Answer：
java.time
The modern way is to use the Android version of the back-port of the java.time framework built into Java 8 and later.
First, parse the input string into a date-time object. The LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.
String input = "25.07.2007";
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "MM.dd.yyyy" );
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse( input , formatter );
Now you can ask the LocalDate for its values.
int year = localDate.getYear();
int month = localDate.getMonthValue();
int dayOfMonth = localDate.getDayOfMonth();
You can use the handy Month enum to localize the name of the month.
String monthName = localDate.getMonth().getDisplayName( TextStyle.FULL , Locale.CANADA_FRENCH );
Answer：
Try this…
String dateArr[] = date.split(".");
String day = dateArr[0];
String month = dateArr[1];
String year = dateArr[2];
or
String day = date.substring(0,2);
String month = date.substring(3,5);
String year = date.substring(6,10);
To get the current date…
Date currentDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
To get day, month and year from current date..
int day = currentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = currentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int year = currentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
Month starts at 0 here…
Answer：
date.split(".") will not work
Split methods takes regex as parameter. For regex "." means any character. Instead we have to pass "\." as parameter.
String [] dateParts = date.split("\.");
String day = dateParts[0];
String month = dateParts[1];
String year = dateParts[2];
Answer：
public class DateTest {
/**
* @param args
* @throws ParseException
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
String starDate = "7/12/1995 12:00:00 AM";
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String newDateStr = simpleDateFormat.format(simpleDateFormat.parse(starDate));
String str[] = newDateStr.split("/");
String month = str[1];
String year = str[2];
}
}
