So yeah I was substringing date.toString, not a good idea. I changed it to
be more consistent as shown below, but I still have a weird issue, day of
the week seems to be 2 days out:
int DAY_OF_WEEK = cal.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
switch(DAY_OF_WEEK)
{
case 0: dayName="Mon";break;
case 1: dayName="Tue";break;
case 2: dayName="Wed";break;
case 3: dayName="Thu";break;
case 4: dayName="Fri";break;
case 5: dayName="Sat";break;
case 6: dayName="Sun";break;
}
tells me aug 31 2018 was sunday, but it was friday?
even if I start at case 1: its still one day out, whats happening? sure ive
been thru this so many times.
SimpleDateFormat dateTodaySDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date dateToday = null; //a date object representing the string they
passed in
try {
dateToday = dateTodaySDF.parse(stringDate);
_("dateToday -> "+dateToday.toString());
//do this purely in cn1 so its same on ios and android, no
toString stuff on dates
java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(dateToday);
int DAY_OF_WEEK = cal.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
int DAY_OF_MONTH = cal.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
switch(DAY_OF_WEEK)
{
case 0: dayName="Mon";break;
case 1: dayName="Tue";break;
case 2: dayName="Wed";break;
case 3: dayName="Thu";break;
case 4: dayName="Fri";break;
case 5: dayName="Sat";break;
case 6: dayName="Sun";break;
}
dayDate=""+DAY_OF_MONTH;
_("DAY_OF_WEEK ->"+dayName);
_("DAY_OF_MONTH ->"+DAY_OF_MONTH);
int MONTH = cal.get(java.util.Calendar.MONTH);
switch(MONTH)
{
case 0: monthName="Jan";break;
case 1: monthName="Feb";break;
case 2: monthName="Mar";break;
case 3: monthName="Apr";break;
case 4: monthName="May";break;
case 5: monthName="Jun";break;
case 6: monthName="Jul";break;
case 7: monthName="Aug";break;
case 8: monthName="Sep";break;
case 9: monthName="Oct";break;
case 10: monthName="Nov";break;
case 11: monthName="Dec";break;
}
_("MONTH ->"+monthName);
monthNumber=(MONTH+1)+"";
_("monthNumber-> "+monthNumber);
_("So the date passed in was: "+dayName+", "+DAY_OF_MONTH+" of
"+monthName);
