Initialize JXDatePicker with custom date

Question

I want to initialize a JXDatepicker with a custom date. At the moment I´m trying this:

    Date date1= new Date(2006-01-01);    
    Date date2 = new Date();
    jGeburtVon.setDate(date1);
    jGeburtBis.setDate(date2);`

Edited: this is the real code from the program ; it does compile and run and you´re right of course, new Date() initializes to today, not 01.01.1970. In this code though, date1 initializes to 01.01.1970.

Answer 1

I think the JXDatePicker method you're looking for is setDate(Date date)
Javadoc for the JXDatePicker can be found here .

Answer 2

这样，date1不是用字符串创建的，而是用很长的时间创建的：2006-01-01 = 2006-1-1 = 2004，这是1970-01-01_00：00：00之后的2004毫秒。

Using SimpleDateFormat , you can create a Date object from your String . Using that object and DateTimePicker 's setDate method you can assign the date to your object. Hope that helps.

_{utilizando el SimpleDateFormat, podes crear un objeto date a partir de tu String, luego usando ese objeto y mediante mensaje setDate del DateTimePicker,podes asignar la fecha a tu objeto.Espero te sirva.}

    DateTimePicker dateChooser = new DateTimePicker();        
    Date date = new Date();
    Date fecha= new Date();
    try {
        fecha = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd H:m:S").parse("2016-02-15 :00:00:00");
    } catch (ParseException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
    date.setTime(fecha.getTime());
    dateChooser.setFormats("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
    dateChooser.setTimeFormat( DateFormat.getTimeInstance( DateFormat.MEDIUM ) );
    dateChooser.setDate(date);

Answer 4

I got it. It has to look like this:

 SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
 Date date1 = df.parse("01.01.2006");

Reading the javadocs does help sometimes :) Thanks for the replies.
