Question

I’m using ICU4J calendar library for converting dates between calendar systems (Gregorian, Japanese, Chinese, Jalali, Islamic,…).
I use it with normal dates (after ERA) like this :

Calendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
gc.setTime(dateOBJ);

Is it possible to set before ERA dates (e.g. year 500 BC)?

Answer 1

I has its implementation, I used this:

calObj = new GregorianCalendar(500,6,12,0,0,0);
calObj.set(GregorianCalendar.ERA, GregorianCalendar.BC);
