How to get Date object in “YYYY-MM-DD” format in android

Question

I have a requirement that I need to compare two Dates. One Date will come from DB which is String in \"YYYY-DD-MM\" firm and I need to compare this String Date with current Date

Answer 1

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat tf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String time=DB time;
Date parseTime= tf.parse(time);
Integer dayNow=c.getTime().getDate();
Integer dayDb=parseTime.getDate();

then you can compare dayNow and dayDb.
