Convert Date Object to Calendar object

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a Date field in my webdynpro application, I need to to read this from my current context and convert the same to a Calendar field and pass it to my model.

Calendar date = CalendarConverter.parseDate(req_date.toString());

The above code gives me a null pointer exception.

Can anyone suggest me the right way of converting a Date object to Calendar object?

Ashwini,

try to use the following code snippet:

// get calendar and set your date object

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.setTime( <YOUR_DATE_OBJECT> );

// to manipulate the fields use this

c.set(Calendar.MONTH, 1);

// to manipulate retrieve a fields use this

c.get(Calendar.MONTH);

Hope that helps you.
