GridView for calendar view

Question

Parts of my old app are deprecated, I am trying to rebuild it. Basically it is a Calendar with month view. This is a part of my gridview adapter:

public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
    Date date = getItem(position);
    int day = date.getDate();
    int month = date.getMonth();
    int year = date.getYear();
}

and the int day = date.getDate(); int month = date.getMonth(); int year = date.getYear(); are deprecated. I am trying to use the Calendar class instead of Date but unable to do the same. I know that for retrieve the day, month or year I can use this:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); 

but I don't know how to convert this line:

Date date = getItem(position);

for using with Calendar.

Answer 1

You can use this line of code:

Just replace this line

Date date = getItem(position);

with this line:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date = calendar.getTime();

Here is a full example for you:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date = calendar.getTime();
int day =  calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month =  calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int year =  calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

Answer 2

Here is how you convert a Date object to a Calendar object:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);

Then (like you said) you can do:

int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
