The following example shows the usage of java.util.GregorianCalendar.computeFields() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.*;

public class GregorianCalendarDemo extends GregorianCalendar {

      // create a new calendar
      GregorianCalendarDemo cal = new GregorianCalendarDemo();

      // print the current date and time
      System.out.println("" + cal.getTime());

      // set a new year
      cal.set(GregorianCalendar.YEAR, 1992);
      System.out.println("" + cal.getTime());

      // compute fields and print the date
      cal.computeFields();
      System.out.println("" + cal.getTime());
   }
