I am working on a gwt application which involves advanced manipulations with date times: convert from one timezone to another, etc. Gwt has some low level stuff for working
You could look at the following options.
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-time/
http://code.google.com/p/goda-time/
http://github.com/mping/gwt-joda-time
This is my DateTimeUtil class
public class DateTimeUtil {
public static String getYear(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("yyyy").format(date);
}
public static String getMonth(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("MM").format(date);
}
public static String getDay(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("dd").format(date);
}
public static String getHour(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("HH").format(date);
}
public static String getMinute(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("mm").format(date);
}
public static String getSecond(Date date) {
return DateTimeFormat.getFormat("ss").format(date);
}
// The String year must to have yyyy format
public static Date getDate(String years, String months, String days, String hours, String minutes, String seconds) {
DateTimeFormat dtf = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = dtf.parse(years + "-" + months + "-" + days + " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
GWT.log("date parsed " + date);
return date;
}
}
