Use SimpleDateFormat


SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
finishDate.setTime(sdf.parsedate));

<div>
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;dd-MM-yy<wbr />&quot;);<br />
String date = rs112.getString(&quot;expdate&quot;)<wbr />;<br />
Calendar finishDate = Calendar.getInstance();<br />
finishDate.setTime(sdf.par<wbr />se(date));<wbr /> <br />
finishDate.add(Calendar.DA<wbr />Y_OF_YEAR,<wbr /> roll_amt);<br />

</div>


SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
String date = rs112.getString("expdate");
Calendar finishDate = Calendar.getInstance();
finishDate.setTime(sdf.parse(date));
finishDate.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, roll_amt);

Is it possible to convert a string in this format : &quot;dd-mm-yy&quot; to type date so .add operation can be perfomed on it. As in:<br />
<br />
String date = rs112.getString(&quot;expdate&quot;)<wbr />;<br />
Calendar finishDate = Calendar.getInstance(date)<wbr />;<br />
finishDate.add(Calendar.DA<wbr />Y_OF_YEAR,<wbr /> roll_amt);<br />
<br />
Is there a reverse method of .add so that a date can be rolled back a certain number of days?

Convert a string(&quot;dd-mm-yy&quot;) to type date and the reverse of .add method

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Convert a string(&quot;dd-mm-yy&quot;) to type date and the reverse of .add method

Convert a string("dd-mm-yy") to type date and the reverse of .add method
