Convert a string to a GregorianCalendar
gregorian-calendar, java, string
Solution
Use `SimpleDateFormat` to parse the date and then assign it to a `Calendar`.
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
Date date = df.parse("02 26 1991");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
The third line could be replaced with:
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
but I prefer the first version.
Problem
How do a I take an input birthday string such as 02 26 1991 and make it into a Gregorian Calendar? I tried parsing it first but it keeps giving me an error message so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I also have other input data before this date. One is another string and one is a double value.
