How to print date using GregorianCalendar class in Java?
The GregorianCalendar class supports standard calendars it supports Julian and Gregorian calendars you can create an object of GregorianCalendar using one of its constructors. Following are various examples demonstrating how to print date using this class −
Example
Following example creates GregorianCalander by passing year, month and date values as parameters to its constructor and prints the date −
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
//Instantiating the GregorianCalendar
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(2018, 6, 27);
System.out.println(cal);
System.out.println("Date: "+cal.get(Calendar.DATE));
System.out.println("Month: "+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
System.out.println("Year: "+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
}
}Output
java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=?,areFieldsSet=false,areAllFieldsSet=false,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Asia/Calcutta",offset=19800000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=7,lastRule=null],firstDayOfWeek=1,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=?,YEAR=2018,MONTH=6,WEEK_OF_YEAR=?,WEEK_OF_MONTH=?,DAY_OF_MONTH=27,DAY_OF_YEAR=?,DAY_OF_WEEK=?,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=?,AM_PM=0,HOUR=0,HOUR_OF_DAY=0,MINUTE=0,SECOND=0,MILLISECOND=?,ZONE_OFFSET=?,DST_OFFSET=?] Date: 27 Month: 6 Year: 2018
Example
Following example creates GregorianCalander by passing the Locale object as a parameter to its constructor and prints the date −
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
Locale locale = new Locale("en", "IN");
//Instantiating the GregorianCalendar
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(locale);
System.out.println("Date: "+cal.get(Calendar.DATE));
System.out.println("Month: "+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
System.out.println("Year: "+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
}
}Output
Date: 7 Month: 10 Year: 2020
Example
Following example creates GregorianCalander by passing the TimeZone object as a parameter to its constructor and prints the date −
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+5:30");
//Instantiating the GregorianCalendar
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(timeZone);
System.out.println("Date: "+cal.get(Calendar.DATE));
System.out.println("Month: "+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
System.out.println("Year: "+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
}
}Output
Date: 7 Month: 10 Year: 2020
Example
Following example creates GregorianCalander using the getInstance() method and prints the date −
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]){
//Instantiating the GregorianCalendar
GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Date: "+cal.get(Calendar.DATE));
System.out.println("Month: "+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
System.out.println("Year: "+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
}
}Output
Date: 7 Month: 10 Year: 2020
