Calendar date to yyyy-MM-dd format in java

Question

How to convert calendar date to yyyy-MM-dd format.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
Date date = cal.getTime();          


        

Answer 1

In order to parse a java.util.Date object you have to convert it to String first using your own format.

inActiveDate = format1.parse(  format1.format(date)  );

But I believe you are being redundant here.
