Parameter: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method returns an instance of Calendar for this DateFormat object.
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]
