Converting Date format to other format on Java

I have been developing application with GWT on Java. I used calendar tool for my project on this site. When i select any date, give this format (23-Aug-13) to me.

I use this code: 

final DateField txtBirthofDay = new DateField("Birth of Day", "dob", 190);
txtBirthofDay.setValue(new Date());

I want to insert this date to database. So, I have to convert this format (2013-08-23). I converted lots of date format each other before but I didn't convert string type (Aug).

Solution

  • SimpleDateFormat formats your Date to the given pattern

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date()));
