to get the current date and time
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
mHour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
mMinute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
to create current date object
Date toDate;
toDate.setYear(mYear);
toDate.setMonth(mMonth);
toDate.setDate(mDay);
Date endDate = toDate;
when printing endDate object I got
Mon Jan 01 13:11:00 GMT+03:00 3912
why ?
From
Date.setYear(int)description: Sets the gregorian calendar year since 1900 for this Date object. Thus,1900 + 2012 = 3912.But
calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)returns exact year number2012. So this inconsistency of API causes your issue. But anywayDate.setYear(int)is deprecated, thus, it is better to useCalendarobject for date calculations.
