Below programs illustrate the use of getCalendar() method in Java:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate// getCalendar() method import java.text.*;import java.util.*; public class DateFormat_Demo { public static void main(String[] argv) { // Initializing the first formatter DateFormat DFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(); // String formatting String str = DFormat.format(new Date()); // Displaying the Calendar System.out.println(DFormat.getCalendar()); }} |
Output:
java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1553691245240, areFieldsSet=true, areAllFieldsSet=true, lenient=true, zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Etc/UTC", offset=0, dstSavings=0, useDaylight=false, transitions=0, lastRule=null], firstDayOfWeek=1, minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1, ERA=1, YEAR=2019, MONTH=2, WEEK_OF_YEAR=13, WEEK_OF_MONTH=5, DAY_OF_MONTH=27, DAY_OF_YEAR=86, DAY_OF_WEEK=4, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=4, AM_PM=1, HOUR=0, HOUR_OF_DAY=12, MINUTE=54, SECOND=5, MILLISECOND=240, ZONE_OFFSET=0, DST_OFFSET=0]
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate// getCalendar() method import java.text.*;import java.util.*; public class DateFormat_Demo { public static void main(String[] argv) { // Initializing the first formatter DateFormat DFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/ dd/ yy"); // String formatting String str = DFormat.format(new Date()); // Displaying the Calendar System.out.println(DFormat.getCalendar()); }} |
Output:
java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1553691264669, areFieldsSet=true, areAllFieldsSet=true, lenient=true, zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Etc/UTC", offset=0, dstSavings=0, useDaylight=false, transitions=0, lastRule=null], firstDayOfWeek=1, minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1, ERA=1, YEAR=2019, MONTH=2, WEEK_OF_YEAR=13, WEEK_OF_MONTH=5, DAY_OF_MONTH=27, DAY_OF_YEAR=86, DAY_OF_WEEK=4, DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=4, AM_PM=1, HOUR=0, HOUR_OF_DAY=12, MINUTE=54, SECOND=24, MILLISECOND=669, ZONE_OFFSET=0, DST_OFFSET=0]
