I have declared like this:

in my init method:

randomVariable= new Random();

lastdate = formatter.format(currentDate);

lastdate is a String that holds the date.

formatter formats the date

How i should interact/declare with the Random variable?

How is currentDate initialized?

DrLaszloJamfa at 2007-7-12 0:53:53 >

# 4

in init:currentDate = new Date();

Is that a random date? Hmm....

no it gives the date and time of my pc.the way the formatter is declared:formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE MMM dd hh:mm:ss yyyy", Locale.getDefault());Message was edited by: derok

But you want the initial date to be random, right? Hmm...

yeah

So how do you combine Random+Date to create a random date? Hint: consider the possible Date constructors that are not deprecated.

i'm kinda lost here :)is there other aproach to do this?

It's not hard. You want a random date. Hard to think of doing that in a simpler fashion that Random + Date.

Post your code with the syntax error and a forum member may give you a hint.
