How to get current year in android?

Question

I tried

int year = Calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR); 

but it is giving me compile time error that

Non-static method 'get(int)' cannot be referenced from a static context.

I am calling this method from call method of observable.

Observable.combineLatest(ob1 ob2,                 ob3, new Func3<String, String, String, Boolean>() {                     @Override                     public Boolean call(String a, String b, String c) {... 

I had also seen (new Date()).getYear(); but it is deprecated.

Answer 1

Because you need to create an instance first.

try this

Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR); 

and you are good to go.

Answer 2

Yeah, you get an error because this is not a static method. First you need to create an instance of the Calendar class.
i.e.

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR); 

If your min API version is <26, you can do a shorthand as well:

val yearInt = Year.now().value
