Date and Time Format Example
This Example shows you date and time format according to the locale. In the code given below we are displaying data and time
format according to the locale.
Methods used in this example are described below :
DateFormat.getDateInstance() : DateFormat class is used for date and time
format and getDateInstance() method is used for gets DateFormat class object with the given formatting style for the given locale.
DateFormat.format() : format method is used for format Date into date/time String.
DateFormatExample.java
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DateFormatExample {
public void displayDate(Locale locale) {
DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT,
locale);
Date today = new Date();
String dateOut = dateFormatter.format(today);
System.out.println(dateOut + " " + locale.toString());
}
public void showDate(Locale locale) {
Date today = new Date();
String result;
DateFormat formatter;
int[] styles = {DateFormat.DEFAULT, DateFormat.SHORT,
DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.FULL
};
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Locale: " + locale.toString());
System.out.println();
for (int k = 0; k < styles.length; k++) {
formatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(styles[k], locale);
result = formatter.format(today);
System.out.println(result);
}
}
public void showTime(Locale locale) {
Date today = new Date();
String result;
DateFormat formatter;
int[] styles = {DateFormat.DEFAULT, DateFormat.SHORT,
DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.FULL
};
System.out.println();
for (int k = 0; k < styles.length; k++) {
formatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(styles[k], locale);
result = formatter.format(today);
System.out.println(result);
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
Locale[] locales = new Locale[]{new Locale("fr", "FR"), new Locale("en", "IN")};
DateFormatExample[] dateFormat = new DateFormatExample[locales.length];
for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++) {
dateFormat[i] = new DateFormatExample();
dateFormat[i].displayDate(locales[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++) {
dateFormat[i].showDate(locales[i]);
dateFormat[i].showTime(locales[i]);
}
}
}
