How to get the next Date

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a date field in which when i enter the date and click on the button I should display the next day in another inputfield.

Ex: If i enter 12th Nov 2008 (11/12/2008)i should get 13th Nov 2008 (11/13/2008)

in the other input field.

Thank You in Advance.

Hi,

Following is the sample code based on todays date

Date dt = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
		Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
		calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
		System.out.println(calendar.getTime());

OR
//Specifically for your sample dates
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
		calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, 10);
		calendar.set(Calendar.DATE, 12);
		calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2008);
		System.out.println(calendar.getTime());
		calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
		System.out.println(calendar.getTime());

Hi All,

I got the date format right now.This is the code that I have written.

Date d1 = wdContext.currentContextElement.getDate();

calendar.set(d1.getYear() + 1900,d1.getMonth(),d1.getDate());

calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);

int mnth = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);

mnth = mnth+1;

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(mnth "/"calendar.get(Calendar.DATE)"/"calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));

Thankx,

Naaz.

Hi,

This is the code I am writing to display the date in the message manager.

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)"/"calendar.get(Calendar.DATE)"/"calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));

I am getting the output as :10/8/108.

..and what is the problem? To format the date, have a look at classes DateFormat, SimpleDateFormat etc.

In the InputField the format is determined by the context attribute type and the formatting is done by the Java DDIC classes.

Give the context attribute to which your input field is bound the type "date" (which corresponds to java.sql.Date at runtime).
