Question

I am trying to insert Call Logs in inbox programmatically but I am using getcontentresolver() for insertion. but when i am trying to insert date at that time exception is thrown.
i have String variable “date” in which date is “2011-11-04”. and i am passing it to values.put(CallLog.Calls.DATE, callDate);

my code is here

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER, callnumber);
values.put(CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME, callLogName);
values.put(CallLog.Calls.DATE, callDate);
values.put(CallLog.Calls.DURATION, callDuration);
values.put(CallLog.Calls.TYPE, callType);
getContentResolver().insert(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,values);

Exception is “java numberformate exception”

Answer 1

CallLog.Calls.DATE – The date the call occured, in milliseconds since the epoch

Type: INTEGER (long)

Convert your date to milliseconds.

        String date = "2011-11-13";

    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    Date newDate = null;
    try {
        newDate = sdf.parse(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

     Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
     cal.setTime(newDate);
     cal.getTimeInMillis();
