Hi all, I'm doing UB assignment and in my book GUI I have a set of date combo boxes to select the year, month, day.
I use a Room object to pass the values to my services layer where the update is done. In the services layer, I use the java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd") constructor to get my date from java.util.Date (from Room) to a
string "yyyy/mm/dd" for the data file.
Now guess what? Suppose I select Jan 13 2010 in my combo boxes, the SimpleDateFormat outputs "2010/18/13" yet my GUI displays as Jan 13 2010 for that record. Then I restart my app that same record become Jun 13 2011 - that's like 18 months off.
Any one use this class for their assignment? Before I use SimpleDateFormat I physically did convert the java.util.Date to a string using its toString method and split that up and get the appropriate array index.
