Month is not printed from a date - Java DateFormat

Question

How to get month from a date in java :

        DateFormat inputDF  = new SimpleDateFormat(\"mm/dd/yy\");
        Date date1 = inputDF.parse(\"9/30/11\");

          


        

Answer 1

Try like this using MM instead of mm:-

    DateFormat inputDF  = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
    Date date1 = inputDF.parse("9/30/11");

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.setTime(date1);

    int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

    System.out.println(month+" - "+day+" - "+year);

The month printed will be 8 as index starts from 0

or try with:-

int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
