How to convert Gregorian string to Gregorian Calendar?

Question

I have to compute something based on the Calendar\'s date, but I am receiving the complete Gregorian Calendar\'s String value.

Eg i/p received {may be - \"new

Answer 1

GregorianCalendar g=new GregorianCalendar(1975, 5, 7);
    Date d=g.getTime();
    System.out.println(g.toString());
    SimpleDateFormat formatter=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy MM dd"); 
    System.out.println(formatter.format(d));

This is way to grab date from GregorianCalendar. i wish this will help to you

Adding more to this, you can retrieve any information you want using the format. It's just a matter of providing the correct format.

Ex:
Adding z or Z provides you with the timezone information

"yyyy MM dd z" - 2014 10 12 PDT
"yyyy MM dd Z" - 2014 10 12 -0700

Adding a 'T' would result in something like this:

"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sssZ" - 2014-10-12T14:23:51.890+0530

In this HH represents hours in 24 hour format mm minutes ss seconds sss milliseconds.
