Calendar Constructor Java toString

Question

What I\'m trying to do is pass a date into the Calendar so that it will format the date ready for use with another constructor. So that i can make use of it later using the func

Answer 1

First you don't need to use toString() method explicitly while printing your instances. It will be called automatically.

Also, you should use SimpleDateFormat to format your Date to required string format: -

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
String date = format.format(cal.getTime());

System.out.println(date);

OUTPUT: -

2012/10/20
