Setting Week Wise Date to a Current Dated Calendar Instance Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Calendar setWeekDate() method. We're creating an instance of a Calendar of current date using getInstance() method and printing the time of the calendar instance. Then we're updating the date by using setWeekDate() method. In the end, updated date is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Calendar;

public class CalendarDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a calendar
      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

      // print current time
      System.out.println("Current Time:" + cal.getTime() );
    
      // update the calendar
      cal.setWeekDate(2022,30,3);
      System.out.println("Updated Time:" + cal.getTime() );
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Current Time:Wed Sep 28 18:23:34 IST 2022

Setting Week Wise Date to a Current Dated GregorianCalendar Instance Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Calendar setWeekDate() method. We're creating an instance of a Calendar of current date using GregorianCalendar() method and printing the time of the calendar instance. Then we're updating the date by using setWeekDate() method. In the end, updated time is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class CalendarDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a calendar
      Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();

      // print current time
      System.out.println("Current Time:" + cal.getTime() );
    
      // update the calendar
      cal.setWeekDate(2022,30,3);
      System.out.println("Updated Time:" + cal.getTime() );
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Current Time:Wed Sep 28 18:24:13 IST 2022
Updated Time:Tue Jul 19 18:24:13 IST 2022

      // print current time
      System.out.println("Current Time:" + cal.getTime() );
    
      // update the calendar
      cal.setWeekDate(2022,30,3);
      System.out.println("Updated Time:" + cal.getTime() );
   }
}
