Help with formatting a Date
I have some code that gets the date from an Oracle table but then when i try to display this date in my java application, I just want the date only but it also shows the time as 00:00:00...so how do i remove this time stuff from it? I looked through the API and couldnt figure it out :(
...
this.setDateLastUsed(rs.getDate("date_last_used"));
....
publicvoid setDateLastUsed(Date dateLastUsed){
this.dateLastUsed = dateLastUsed;
}
Dates show up like this: 2005-10-04 00:00:00.0
Need it to show up like: 2005-10-04
Look at the String class. It has a formatter with date % things.
Use java.text.SimpleDateFormat to format it the way you want.

Never mind, I prolly jumped the gun.
hi, well i dont want to convert it to a string format. I would still like to keep it Date format for sorting purposes.

But you ARE dealing with string formats here.

What do you think those bolded things are? They are strings.
Ok, let's step back a bit...When you say the dates "show up as" something, where are they showing up in the first place? The console, from doing a System.out.println? Or what?

when i say "show up as" i meant to say they are showing up in your mothers hairy a-s-s. Tell her to freakin shave it.

Everything you display on the console or in a GUI is ALWAYS converted to a String before dispaly. If you don't do it explicitly, then the methods you call will do it for you.
Note also that this doesn't transform the original object from a Date into a String. You still have your Date. It's just that now you also have a String object that represents that Date.
