How to get users click in calendar view to be stored as dd/mm/yyyy in SQLite

In my SQLite database I have my dates stored in this format 02/01/2023 but when I try to get the date from the calendarview it gives them to me as 2/1/2023 which causes me to have an error when trying to retrieve the data from the database that matches that date.
How do I format this into a String variable?
My attempt so far:
public void onSelectedDayChange(#NonNull CalendarView calendarview, int i, int i1,int i2) {
exercise_name = new ArrayList<>();
set_weight = new ArrayList<>();
set_reps = new ArrayList<>();
set_date= new ArrayList<>();
//formatting to dd/mm/yyyy
System.out.println("both are over 10");
date = i2 + "/" + (i1+1) + "/" + i;
//month needs plus 1 because it starts at 0
tviewdate.setText(date);
storeDataDateinArrays();

There is a better way (than what you have posted as an answer) to get the required formatted string:
String output = String.format("%02d/%02d/%d", day, month, year);
where day, month and year are integers.
Using java.time API:
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/uuuu");
// Sample units
int year = 2023, month = 2, day = 1;
LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(year, month, day);
String output = date.format(formatter);
System.out.println(output);
}
}
Output:
01/02/2023

This is how i got it to work:
String sYear = String.valueOf(Year);
String sMonth = String.valueOf((Month + 1));
String sDay = String.valueOf(Day);
if (sDay.length() == 1)
sDay = "0" + sDay;
if (sMonth.length() == 1)
sMonth = "0" + sMonth;
if (sDay.length() == 1)
sDay = "0" + sDay;
date = sDay + "/" + sMonth + "/" + sYear;

Change date format from m/dd/yy to yyyy/MM/dd in Java

I have this Date in a String with a 2 digit year.
I need to convert in another format. I tried with SampleDateFormat but it didn't work.
The SampleDateFormat is giving wrong format i.2 date with UTC and timestamp
I want in yyyy/MM/dd only.
Is there any other way to do this?
String receiveDate = "7/20/21";
DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
try {
rdate = sdf.parse(receiveDate);
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String recievedt = rdate.toString();
String dateParts[] = recievedt.split("/");
// Getting day, month, and year from receive date
String month = dateParts[0];
String day = dateParts[1];
String year = dateParts[2];
int iday = Integer.parseInt(day);
int imonth = Integer.parseInt(month);
int iyear = Integer.parseInt(year);
LocalDate date4 = LocalDate.of(iyear, imonth, iday).plusDays(2*dueoffset);

If you can use the java.time API I would suggest something along the lines of the following:
String input = "7/20/21";
LocalDate receivedDate = LocalDate.parse(input, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/dd/yy"));
String formatted = receivedDate.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd"));
// or if you actually need the date components
int year = receivedDate.getYear();
...

How is String receiveDate="7/20/21"; a valid date?
String dateStr = "07/10/21";
SimpleDateFormat receivedFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yy/MM/dd");
SimpleDateFormat finalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Date date = receivedFormat.parse(dateStr);
System.out.println(finalFormat.format(date)); // 2007/10/21
This, however, requires that you have date with leading zeros for year, month and date. If that is not the case, please sanitize your date string.
public static String sanitizeDateStr(String dateStr) {
String dateStrArr[] = dateStr.split("/");
String yearStr = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(dateStrArr[0]));
String monthStr = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(dateStrArr[1]));
String dayStr = String.format("%02d", Integer.parseInt(dateStrArr[2]));
return String.format("%s/%s/%s", yearStr, monthStr, dayStr);
}
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
String dateStr = sanitizeDateStr("7/10/21");
SimpleDateFormat receivedFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yy/MM/dd");
SimpleDateFormat finalFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
Date date = receivedFormat.parse(dateStr);
System.out.println(finalFormat.format(date));
}

Java get int numbers from DateFormat and have user Input

In my code I want to have the individual numbers from date format so I can use them as int values:
public static final String DATE_FORMAT = "dd.MM.yyyy";
public int age()
{
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
Date date = new Date();
// How to convert to int?
int currentnDay = ?;
int currentMonth = ?;
int currentYear = ?;
}
also I would like some user input to define day,month and year in one go, if that's even possible:
private Date dateOfPublication;
public void input()
{
Scanner scn = new Scanner( System.in );
System.out.print( "Please enter dateOfPublication: " );
// How to setup input for this?
}
I hope you can help me out, previously I did it all seperatly but the code was quite big and I think it would be prettier if I could do it like that..
update: okay I'm doing the input like this now:
System.out.print( "Please enter dateOfPublication, use format of x.x.xxxx: " );
userInputDate = scn.next();
String[] ary = userInputDate.split("\\.");
publicationDay = Integer.parseInt(ary[0]);
publicationMonth = Integer.parseInt(ary[1]);
publicationYear = Integer.parseInt(ary[2]);
thanks for your help!

Take a look at Java 8's new Time API (or JodaTime or Calendar if you're really stuck)
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("16.10.2015", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(DATE_FORMAT));
System.out.println(ld);
System.out.println(ld.getDayOfMonth());
System.out.println(ld.getMonth().getValue());
System.out.println(ld.getYear());
Which outputs
2015-10-16
16
10
2015
Now, you could simply ask the user to input a date in a given format and try and parse the result, if the parsing fails, you could reprompt them
For example...
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
LocalDate ld = null;
do {
System.out.print("Please enter date in " + DATE_FORMAT + " format: ");
String value = input.nextLine();
try {
ld = LocalDate.parse(value, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(DATE_FORMAT));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(value + " is not a valid date for the format of " + DATE_FORMAT);
}
} while (ld == null);
System.out.println(ld);
System.out.println(ld.getDayOfMonth());
System.out.println(ld.getMonth().getValue()); // Is probably 0 indexed
System.out.println(ld.getYear());

You can use:
dateFormat.format(today).split("\\.");
For your code:
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
Date date = new Date();
String[] dateArr = dateFormat.format(today).split("\\.");
int currentnDay = Integer.parseInt(dateArr[0]);
int currentMonth = Integer.parseInt(dateArr[1]);
int currentYear = Integer.parseInt(dateArr[2]);
IdeOne Example

First, you have to parse the input string
The Calendar data type is more flexible for date-time handling. This is an example that shows some Date/Calendar operations.
Date date;
Calendar c;
// Get the current date
c = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current Calendar:" + c.getTime().toString());
int currentnDay = c.get(Calendar.DATE);
int currentMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int currentYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
System.out.println(String.format("Current Values: %d/%d/%d",
currentnDay, currentMonth, currentYear));
String DATE_FORMAT = "dd.MM.yyyy";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
date = dateFormat.parse("11.10.1981");
System.out.println("Modified Date:" + date.toString());
// reset Calendar
c = Calendar.getInstance();
// set date to the calendar
c.setTimeInMillis(date.getTime());
currentnDay = c.get(Calendar.DATE);
currentMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
currentYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
System.out.println(String.format("Modified Values: %d/%d/%d",
currentnDay, currentMonth, currentYear));
This is the output of the example.
Current Calendar:Thu Oct 15 20:22:59 EDT 2015
Current Values: 15/9/2015
Modified Date:Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 EDT 1981
Modified Values: 11/9/1981

Android check days between two day-times

Hello everyone i try to check between days two daytimes
i have for example 12/10/2014 and 12/15/2015 datetimes.I wrote some code witch can to check different days between there two daytimes
this is a my source
public String getDateDiffString(Date dateOne, Date dateTwo) {
long timeOne = dateOne.getTime();
long timeTwo = dateTwo.getTime();
long oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
long delta = (timeTwo - timeOne) / oneDay;
if (delta > 0) {
return String.valueOf(delta);
} else {
delta *= -1;
return String.valueOf(delta);
}
}
this code working perfect but i want to increase days for example 12/10/2014, 12/11,2014.....12/20/2014 between first and second daytimes.i i also wrote code but result is between first date and second days -1(between 12/19/2014)
this is a my source
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date _d;
try {
SimpleDateFormat new_df = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM");
_d = df.parse(timeInfo.getTimeformat().get(0));
Date _d1 = df.parse(timeInfo.getEndTimeFormat().get(0));
String datetimeis = getDateDiffString(_d1, _d);
int differentdays = Integer.parseInt(datetimeis);
Log.e("Different is ", "" + differentdays);
for (int k = 0; k < differentdays; k++) {
String datetimeformat = dateFormatter(timeInfo.getStartTimePeriod().get(0));
Date datetime = new_df.parse(datetimeformat);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(datetime);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, k);
datetime = cal.getTime();
String ttime = new_df.format(datetime);
ApishaDaysAdapter.add(ttime);
ApishaHollsAdapter.add(timeInfo.getHole());
String start_time = timeInfo.getTime();
start_time = start_time.replace(",", "\n");
ApishaTimesAdapter.add(start_time);
timeInfo.setStartTimePeriod(ttime);
System.out.println(ttime);
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
how i can solve my problem?if anyone knows solution please help me
i want to increase days [12 -20] and not [12-19)

Date Format Java?

I have 3 int variables for Month, Day and Year.
How can I convert them to a java.util.Date object (or whatever).
For Example, Month = 12, Date = 20, Year = 2011
It should be print in medium date format: **Dec 20, 2011**
Thank you very much!
Edit here my try:
String yourBirthDay = Integer.toString(birthMonth) + "." + Integer.toString(birthDay) + "." + Integer.toString(birthYear);
DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
try {
Date date = format.parse(yourBirthDay);
System.out.println("Your birth date is : " + date.toString());
} catch (ParseException pe) {
System.out.println("ERROR: could not parse date in string \""
+ yourBirthDay + "\"");
}

I did this little test using Calendar.set(int year,int month, int date):
#Test
public void testDate() throws ParseException {
int year = 2011, month = 12, date = 20;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(year, month - 1, date);
Date javaDate = calendar.getTime();
// SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");
DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
String stringDate = format.format(javaDate);
assertEquals("Dec 20, 2011", stringDate);
}
You need to remove 1 from the month because java.util.Calendar works with zero based months.
