Change date formatting symbols in Java
For date formatting symbols, use the DateFormatSymbols class.
Firstly, set weekdays using a string array
String[] weekDays2 = { "", "monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday","saturday", "sunday" };Now, set short week days with
DateFormatSymbols mySymbols = new DateFormatSymbols(); mySymbols.setShortWeekdays(weekDays2);
Get the date −
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd MMM yyyy", mySymbols);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(new Date()));The following is an example −
Example
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
import java.util.Date;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] weekDays1 = { "", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" };
String[] weekDays2 = { "", "monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday" };
DateFormatSymbols mySymbols = new DateFormatSymbols();
mySymbols.setWeekdays(weekDays1);
mySymbols.setShortWeekdays(weekDays2);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy", mySymbols);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(new Date()));
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd MMM yyyy", mySymbols);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(new Date()));
}
}Output
