Set Date on JDateChooser

Question

im trying to get Date from my database into a JDateChooser field

TglSuratMasuk.setText(rs.getDate("tgl_surat_masuk"));

that is what i've been trying, sorry for my bad english

Answer 1

Since ResultSet#getDate returns an instance of java.sql.Date and JDateChooser#setText expects a String , this approach isn't going to work.

Instead, you should use the setDate method of JDateChooser instead.

Maybe something more like:

 java.sql.Date sqlDate = rs.getDate("tgl_surat_masuk");
 TglSuratMasuk.setDate(sqlDate);

'TglSuratMasuk.setDate(rs.getDate("tgl_surat_masuk"));' i've try doing this but it just give me a nullpointerexception

This means that either the ResultSet doesn't include a column called tgl_surat_masuk or the column type is not stored in a valid "date" type. You need to go back to your database and query and verify the type which is been stored
