Get day, month and year separately using SimpleDateFormat

Question

I have a SimleDateFormat like this

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(\"MMM dd,yyyy  hh:mm\");
String date = format.format(Date.parse(p         


        

Answer 1

Are you accepting this ?

int day = 25 ; //25
int month =12; //12
int year = 1988; // 1988
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(year, month-1, day, 0, 0);    
SimpleDateFormat format =   new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy  hh:mm");
System.out.println(format.format(c.getTime()));

Display as Dec 25,1988 12:00

UPDATE : based on Comment

DateFormat format =   new SimpleDateFormat("MMM");
System.out.println(format.format(format.parse("Jan,23,2014")));

NOTE: Date.parse() is @deprecated and as per API it is recommend to use DateFormat.parse
