deprecated getMonth() {RESOLVED}

[blur]

it's been a long time i didn't log in here, this forum changes a lot

I have a very simple problem, I'm sort of "outdated", need help here.

import java.util.*;

public class MemberManagement{
     :
     :
    // How do I return the month since getMonth() can't be used anymore and I don't understand the API, can someone correct this method for me? Besides "import java.util.*;", anything thing else needed? A full code for this part would be helpful :)
    public int getMonth(){
	Date a=new Date();
	return a.getMonth();
    }

    :
    :
}

Check the documentation here

The new way is to use Calendar...

Calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)

but how? I've tried it actually but it doesn't recognise Calender, always give me "cannot resolve symbol".
The problem is that I don't understand what's the documentation talking about.
Mind to implement it in my code for me to see?

Okay, I forgot that Calendar is an abstract class...

public int getMonth()
{
    return (Calendar.getInstance()).get(Calendar.MONTH);
}

should do the trick.

Gee.. thanks. No need to import anything right? I haven't try it out yet but it seems very promising hopefully it works, i've spent 3 hours on it last night ;p

Well, yes and no. Calendar is in the java.util package. If you want to import the package, its...

import java.util.*;

If not, you have to fully qualify the util package...

public int getMonth()
{
    return (java.util.Calendar.getInstance()).get(java.util.Calendar.MONTH);
}
