Hi Paul
Try locale-dependent things, for example "toString()",
"getFirstDayOfWeek()" and so on.
Hope it helps

Hi Wayne,
I have just got to the same homework and am also struggling with how
the Locale fits in with the output of Calendar.DATE and Calendar.HOUR
as there doesn't seem to be a way of varying this by passing a
different Locale. Isn't the use of Locale.getDefault() and
Locale.GERMAN for translating such items as the Month?
Did you manage to get anywhere with this at all? Any input would be
great.
Cheers,
Paul

Hello there JavaBeans :)
I'm struggling to work out a method of completing the homework
exercise for java_util.
Here is the task:
"Display the Calendar.DATE, Calendar.HOUR using the locale of your
country (you can use Locale.getDefault()) and German" (taken from
javase_utilclasses/index.html)
I thought that I could use the getDisplayName() method and pass in the
appropriate arguments. When I did this, however, I kept getting null
values for both Calendar.DATE and Calendar.HOUR fields. I checked the
API documentation and saw that both of these fields are just Integer
data types. In fact Calendar.DATE is a synonym for
Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH and simply reports what day number of the month
it is.
So, I'm wondering, how would Locale apply in this situation? I even
thought that if I tried other locales, there may be some kind of
difference - but there didn't appear to be any variation at all.
I ended up passing two locales to a display method that created
Calendar objects using the provided locales. Once this was done, the
display method then displayed the Calendar.DATE and Calendar.HOUR
fields as required.
It doesn't seem quite right though. I was even considering changing
the time zones just to make the application seem like it is actually
doing something useful - by this wasn't specified in the homework
description. I don't want to submit my homework if I'm not quite sure
that I've done it correctly.
Any ideas, comments, ...abuse etc?
