Get Month Name of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate instance

Question

HijrahDate hd=HijrahChronology.INSTANCE.date(LocalDate.of(2014,11, 25));

If we have HijrahDate Instance , it is expected to have a met

Answer 1

The date does not contain information about the names of the months or days. To get that you need a formatter:

System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM").format(hd));

prints Safar.

Answer 2

public String getIslamicDate(){
    return  DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM",new Locale("ar")).format(HijrahDate.now());
}

I think this should work just fine and return the month in arabic language

Answer 3

Since the main language of UmalQura is the arabic langugage, Developers & programmers who uses UmalQuraCalender want to display the month in arabic. Thus , we base on @assylias answer we can add the Locale object to print صفر instead of Safar

System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM").format(hd,new Locale("ar")));
