I find it curious that the most obvious way to create Date objects in Java has been deprecated and appears to have been "substituted" with a not so obvious to use lenient calendar.
How do you check that a date, given as a combination of day, month, and year, is a valid date?
For instance, 2008-02-31 (as in yyyy-mm-dd) would be an invalid date.
442
DateValidator validator = new DateValidatorUsingDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy"); assertTrue(validator. isValid("02/28/2019")); assertFalse(validator. isValid("02/30/2019")); This was the most common solution before Java 8.
Formatting DatesString pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"; SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern); String date = simpleDateFormat. format(new Date()); System. out. println(date);
Given date in format date, month and year in integer. The task is to find whether the date is possible on not. Valid date should range from 1/1/1800 – 31/12/9999 the dates beyond these are invalid. These dates would not only contains range of year but also all the constraints related to a calendar date.
Key is df.setLenient(false);. This is more than enough for simple cases. If you are looking for a more robust (I doubt) and/or alternate libraries like joda-time then look at the answer by the user "tardate"
final static String DATE_FORMAT = "dd-MM-yyyy"; public static boolean isDateValid(String date) { try { DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT); df.setLenient(false); df.parse(date); return true; } catch (ParseException e) { return false; } } If you love us?
