Format Date with getDateTimeInstance() in Java
To format date, let us see the DateFormat.SHORT as well as DateFormat.LONG constants. Both of them displays different patterns.
Here, we are formatting dates with getDateTimeInstance() method. Use the method to get a date and time format.
For DateFormat.SHORT constant −
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT,DateFormat.SHORT); System.out.println(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
For DateFormat.LONG constant −
dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG,DateFormat.LONG); System.out.println(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
The following is an example −
Example
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String s[]) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
// for SHORT date-time
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT,DateFormat.SHORT);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
// for LONG date-time
dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG,DateFormat.LONG);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(calendar.getTime()));
}
}Output
