You can use following code to convert string date to calender format. String stringDate="23-Aug-10"; SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); Date date = formatter. parse(stringDate); Calendar calender = Calendar. getInstance(); calender.
Use the Date() constructor to convert a string to a Date object, e.g. const date = new Date('2022-09-24') . The Date() constructor takes a valid date string as a parameter and returns a Date object. Copied! We used the Date() constructor to convert a string to a Date object.
Well, you can use the Calendar. setTime() and Calendar. getTime() method to convert the Calendar to Date and vice-versa. The Instance class is the equivalent to java.
Here's your method:
public static Calendar toCalendar(Date date){
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
return cal;
}
Everything else you are doing is both wrong and unnecessary.
BTW, Java Naming conventions suggest that method names start with a lower case letter, so it should be: dateToCalendar or toCalendar (as shown).
OK, let's milk your code, shall we?
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
date = (Date)formatter.parse(date.toString());
DateFormat is used to convert Strings to Dates (parse()) or Dates to Strings (format()). You are using it to parse the String representation of a Date back to a Date. This can't be right, can it?
Just use Apache Commons
DateUtils.toCalendar(Date date)
