Date: (combobox for day) (combobox for month) (combobox for year)
I've got these three combo boxes and i want to get the selected item and store it into String date; to store into database mysql. I'm not very good at coding and i hope someone could help me.. Thanks! :-)
my code:
JPanel panelDay = new JPanel();
panelDay.setBounds(224, 149, 56, 30);
panelStep2.add(panelDay);
panelDay.setBackground(new Color(224, 255, 255));
panelDay.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panelDay, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
String[] dayStrings = {"31", "30", "29", "28", "27", "26", "25", "24",
"23", "22", "21", "20", "19", "18", "17", "16", "15", "14", "13",
"12", "11", "10", "9","8", "7", "6","5", "4", "3", "2", "1", "Day" };
final JComboBox dayList = new JComboBox(dayStrings);
panelDay.add(dayList);
dayList.setSelectedIndex(31);
dayList.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,130));
dayList.setVisible(true);
JPanel panelMonth = new JPanel();
panelMonth.setBounds(292, 149, 70, 30);
panelStep2.add(panelMonth);
panelMonth.setBackground(new Color(224, 255, 255));
panelMonth.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panelMonth, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
String[] monthStrings = {"12", "11", "10", "09",
"08", "07", "06", "05", "04", "03", "02", "01", "Month" };
final JComboBox monthList = new JComboBox(monthStrings);
panelMonth.add(monthList);
monthList.setSelectedIndex(12);
monthList.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,130));
monthList.setVisible(true);
JPanel panelYear = new JPanel();
panelYear.setBounds(375, 149, 70, 30);
panelStep2.add(panelYear);
panelYear.setBackground(new Color(224, 255, 255));
panelYear.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panelYear, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
String[] yearStrings = {"1975", "1976", "1977", "1978",
"1979", "1980",
"1981", "1982",
"1983", "1984",
"1985", "1986",
"1987", "1988",
"1989", "1990",
"1991", "1992",
"1993", "1994",
"1995", "1996",
"1997", "1998",
"1999", "2000",
"2001", "2002",
"2003", "2004",
"2005", "2006",
"2007", "2008",
"2009", "2010",
"2011", "2012",
"2013", "2014",
"2015", "Year" };
final JComboBox yearList = new JComboBox(yearStrings);
panelYear.add(yearList);
yearList.setSelectedIndex(12);
yearList.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,130));
yearList.setVisible(true);
String day = dayList.getSelectedItem().toString();
String month = monthList.getSelectedItem().toString();
String year = yearList.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (!day.equals("Day") && !month.equals("Month") && !year.equals("Year")) {
String dateAsString = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
try {
Date date = sdf.parse(dateAsString);
} catch (ParseException e1) {}
}
You now have the date in a string format or in a java.util.Date format
