Can´t get time from datefield

[hmedinapy]

Hi,

I can´t get time value from a datefield.

The user change the value on the datefield, but the new value never set to the component.

What I really want to do, is to save the new value (seting by the user) in a rms file.

I have test about 3 examples, but they doesn´t work either.

I use midp 1.0, Serie 60 (Nokia 3620)

I try with this
Date date = datefield.getDate();
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

Hi,

You have to use DateField.DATE_TIME and not
DateField.DATE type DateField:

...
// Add new Date element
dtDate = new DateField("Date:", DateField.DATE_TIME);
dtDate.setDate(rec.getDate());
append(dtDate);
..

For RMS persistence use 8 bytes (I used big endian).

From RMS to long:

// Get long value from byte array
public static long getTimeFromByteArray(byte[] arr)
{
long lTime = 0;
long lByte, lWeight = 1;

// Get the bytes multiplied by weight
for(int i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i++)
{
lByte = (long)arr[i];
if (lByte < 0)
lByte += 256;
lTime += lByte * lWeight;
lWeight *= 256;
}

// Return value
return lTime;
}

and from long date to RMS byte array:

// Set date part
long lTime = d.getTime();
long lByte;
for(i = 0 ; i < 8 ; i++)
{
lByte = lTime % 256;
buffer[i] = (byte)lByte;
lTime /= 256;
}
