We are trying to display the join date of employees in a table. It gives mm/dd/yyyy format.

We want the date in dd/mm/yyyy format .Can anyone help me with the code for this?

Hi

Use this code for getting your desired date format

Date dateToBeChanged=<your retrived date from BAPI>;
Format formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String tempDate = formatter.format(dateToBeChanged);

Now in tempDate you will get your desired date's format

Hi,

You can use followin code

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+05:30");//set time zone according to your place

SimpleDateFormat formatter =(SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG,

DateFormat.LONG, Locale.US);

formatter.setTimeZone(tz);

formatter.applyPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");

String datestr =formatter.format(Rdate);

This will give the date as string in required format .

Hi,

Make use of the following code

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Your Date attribute");
	  attributeInfo.getDataAttribute().getScalarType().format("dd/MM/yyyy");

Hi,

Change the default language to "Hindi" in the Web browser that you use and close the browser and again try to run the same.

This will work.

If its possible just help me how to change the format of a date picker in WD. Right now its mm/dd/yyyy and i want it in dd/mm/yyyy.

Anzar,

If the value is coming from the backend and you just want to display as dd/MM/yyyy then in wdDoInit() of your View do the following --> get the current date value, format it as per your need and then set it back.

	// Check the size of the nodeelement which contains your atribute.
	int size = wdContext.node<NodeName>().size();

       // Loop over and set the value
	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		String strJoinDtModel = wdContext.current<NodeName>Element().get<AttributeName>.toString();
		String strNewDtJoin = formatDate("strJoinDtModel");
		wdContext.current<NodeName>Element().set<AttributeName>(strNewDtJoin);
	}

So if u have following hierarchy

Employee (ModelNode)

|---- JoinDate (Model Attrribute)

then NodeName = Employee and AtrributeName = JoinDate in above code snippet.

You will need to create a formatDate() method as follows:-

public String formatDate(String strDate)
  {
	SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); // Note the uppercase for month.
	String newDate =  sdf.format(strDate);
	return newDate;
  }

Hi ,

u can do it in 2 ways

1) for stand alone applications In Control Panel ->Regional and Language Options change the languaue settings to English UK.

2) for portal applications In User Administration while creating a user give language as English UK , for exsisting users modify language to English UK.

Thanks,

Hi,

Use this code:

java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();

cal.setTime(quotationValidFrom);

//cal.set(quotationValidFrom.getYear(),quotationValidFrom.getMonth(),quotationValidFrom.getDate());

cal.add(java.util.Calendar.DATE, NoOfDays+1);

//String sAddDate = cal.getTime().toGMTString();

String DATE_FORMAT = "dd-MM-yyyy";

java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf =

new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);

//requestedDeliveryDate.setTime(cal.getTime().to);

String ReqDate = sdf.format(cal.getTime());
