deprecated getMonth() {RESOLVED}

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I have a very simple problem, I'm sort of "outdated",:( need help here.

Code:

---

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...

Code:

---

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...

Code:

---

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...

Code:

---

import java.util.*;

---

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

Code:

---

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

ok :D
