How to set values with Calendar class ?

[mohiit]

Hi all,

I want today's date set in Calendar Obj. I have used Calendar class methods to set zero values in Hour, Minutes and Second. But for Hour it sets "1" always. Code is shown below :

calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);

If I use deprecated methods of Date class (date.setHours(0)), it works fine. But with Calendar class its not working.

Please suggest possible remedies.

How did you instantiate the calender object? Seems to me you have done it wrong way. Can you post your code here.

You may read the GregorianCalendar class.

you can use getTimeInMillis() method to get the current time.
and the set(int field, int value) method to set the hour of it, also the min and seconds.

depends on you....

Try something like this,

Code:

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, 0);
        cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 0);

        System.out.println(cal.getTime());
