Question

I am fetching the Year of the Current device time with this code:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
cal.getTime().getYear();

But with that i am getting 111 instead of the 2011 as current year.

If i have set the 2012 as current year then it gives me 112 instead of the 2012.

Why it is like that ?
Please help me for that.
Thanks.

Answer 1

The getYear() returns the year since 1900. So you have to use

cal.getTime().getYear() + 1900

EDIT

The Date.getYear() is deprecated. So you can use cal.get(Calendar.YEAR) to get the year field. See Date.getYear() and Calendar.get()
