Question

I am using Nebulla DateChooserCombo. I have used it as dateChooserFrom.getText();. It is Producing the result like 7/31/2011 which is in m/dd/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy format. I need the result in yyyy/mm/dd format. For that I have use the code as.

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");  
String s = df.format(dateChooserFrom.getText()); 

But when I run the code it says Cannot format given Object as a Date . so please anybody could help me on this. I am using eclipse rcp and java.

Answer 1

DateFormat dffrom = new SimpleDateFormat("M/dd/yyyy");
DateFormat dfto = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");  
Date today = dffrom.parse("7/1/2011");
String s = dfto.format(today);

Convert the String to Date first.
