Getting List of Month for Past 1 year in Android dynamically

问题

Greetings of the day.

In my application, I have displayed list of months statically currently.

But, I want list of months dynamically. i.e. 12 months which are lesser or equal to current running month of current year.

For Example today is 2nd May 2020, So, List should be as below :

Jun, 2019. Jul, 2019. Aug, 2019. Sep, 2019. Oct, 2019. Nov, 2019. Dec, 2019. Jan, 2020. Feb, 2020. Mar, 2020. Apr, 2020. May, 2020.

Please guide how can I achieve this thing in Android. Thanks.

val formatter = SimpleDateFormat("MMM, yyyy")
val list = arrayListOf<String>()
Calendar.getInstance().let {
    calendar ->
    calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, -11)
    for (i in 0 until 12) {
        list.add(formatter.format(calendar.timeInMillis))
        calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1)
    }
}
print(list)

java.time and ThreeTenABP

final int monthsInYear = 12;
YearMonth currentMonth = YearMonth.now(ZoneId.of("Pacific/Kosrae"));
YearMonth sameMonthLastYear = currentMonth.minusYears(1);
List<YearMonth> months = new ArrayList<>(monthsInYear);
for (int i = 1; i <= monthsInYear; i++) {
    months.add(sameMonthLastYear.plusMonths(i));
}

System.out.println(months);

Output:

[2019-06, 2019-07, 2019-08, 2019-09, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2019-12, 2020-01, 2020-02, 2020-03, 2020-04, 2020-05]

I recommend you keep YearMonth objects in your list. For formatted output use a DateTimeFormatter:

    DateTimeFormatter monthFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM, uuuu", Locale.ENGLISH);
    for (YearMonth ym : months) {
        System.out.println(ym.format(monthFormatter));
    }

Question: Doesn’t java.time require Android API level 26?

java.time works nicely on both older and newer Android devices. It just requires at least Java 6.

In Java 8 and later and on newer Android devices (from API level 26) the modern API comes built-in.
In non-Android Java 6 and 7 get the ThreeTen Backport, the backport of the modern classes (ThreeTen for JSR 310; see the links at the bottom).
On (older) Android use the Android edition of ThreeTen Backport. It’s called ThreeTenABP. And make sure you import the date and time classes from org.threeten.bp with subpackages.
