Question

So my widget pulls up correctly but it wont display the correct selection once the user has made a choice. Here is my code.

SimpleDateFormat dayFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, MMMM FF, yyyy");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

This is run at the beginning of my code and when the widget get pulled up it displays the correct date. It might have something to do with why I have my original problem but I am at a lost and don’t know how to fix this.

DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener d=new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
            int dayOfMonth) {
        cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
        cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);

        int w = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
        Date z = cal.getTime();
        description.setText(gDate.date(w, year, monthOfYear + 1, dayOfMonth) + 
                "\n" + dayFormatter.format(z));

And here is the output.

Monday, July 14, 2011

Monday, July 02, 2011

gDate.date(w, year, monthOfYear + 1, dayOfMonth)

This code above is a class I created to do this with a string before I learned about SimpleDateFormat. This is the string that is on top and displays the right date. Also I don’t understand why the second date starts where it is.

Answer 1

Change your pattern from "EEEE, MMMM FF, yyyy" to "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"

FF is day of week in month, dd is day in month. See the javadoc for SimpleDateFormat
