How to format a Date variable in LWUIT?

I have an object whose class has a getter method , and this getter method returns a Date value. I want to show this value in a Label in the format DD/MM/YYYY.

How to achieve that with LWUIT ?

Thank you very much indeed

Solution

  • You can use this code to convert date to string format and pass the this string value to label. 

       public static String dateToString (long date)
             {
             Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
             c.setTime(new Date(date));
             int y = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
             int m = c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
             int d = c.get(Calendar.DATE);
             String t = (d<10? "0": "")+d+"/"+(m<10? "0": "")+m+"/"+(y<10? "0": "")+y;
             return t;
             }
