Date Conversation.

In android I recently had a task that involved converting a date string into a date object.i have many time used this type of conversion when we are used Date class and display it.
In this post i post the both conversion and many other combination.

String to Date useing Date Class:
String dtStart = "2012-10-15";  
SimpleDateFormat  format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");  
try{  
    Date date = format.parse(dtStart);  
    System.out.println(date);  
} catch (ParseException e) {  
      e.printStackTrace();  
}


Date to String useing Date Class:
SimpleDateFormat  dformat= new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");  
try {  
  Date date = new Date();  
 String datetime = dformat.format(date);
 System.out.println("Current Date Time : " + datetime);
} catch (ParseException e) {  
     e.printStackTrace();  
}


Now how to add any integer value in current/passed Date and used them.
you can add date two way..

(1)first is using Calander class.
Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance();
c1.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
OR
Date dtStartDate=o.getStartDate();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dtStartDate);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, 3);  // number of days to add
String dt = sdf.format(c.getTime());  // dt is now the new date
