[Arunesh]

do we have any function in j2me so that we can validate the date and can say whether the date obtained is future date or past date from current date.

thanks and regards

This is the function i have made to compare if the given date is of future or not , argument passed to the method is value of dateField tokenized on space character .

argument passed to the function is of the form ....

String dat = dateField.getDate().toString();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(dat, " ");
String[] date_v = tokenizer.toArray();

boolean value = validate_date(date_v);

the body of validate_date() function is given below , i have elaborated every step hence it looks big.

private boolean validate_date(String[] date_validate) {

int index_v = 0,index_c = 0;
String[] month = {"Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec" };
String d_v1 = date_validate[2];
int d_v = Integer.parseInt(d_v1);
String day_v = date_validate[0];
String month_v = date_validate[1];
String year_v1 = date_validate[5];
int year_v = Integer.parseInt(year_v1);
System.out.println("Date to be validated = "+d_v);
System.out.println("Day of the week to be validated = "+day_v);
System.out.println("month to be validated = "+month_v);
System.out.println("year to be validated = "+year_v);

// current date strings


Date d1 = new Date();
System.out.println(d1);
String d = d1.toString();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(d, " ");
String[] date_v = tokenizer.toArray();
String d_c1 = date_v[2];
int d_c = Integer.parseInt(d_c1);
String day_c = date_v[0];
String month_c = date_v[1];
String year_c1 = date_v[5];
int year_c = Integer.parseInt(year_c1);
System.out.println("current date = "+d_c);

System.out.println("current month= "+month_c);
System.out.println("current year = "+year_c);
for(int i = 0; i<= month.length-1;i++)
{
if(month_v.equals(month[i]))
{
index_v = i;
index_v = index_v+1;
System.out.println("number of given the month to be validated = "+index_v);
}
if(month_c.equals(month[i]))
{
index_c = i;
index_c = index_c+1;
System.out.println("number of the current month to be validated = "+index_c);
}

}


System.out.println( "year = "+year_v+"date = "+d_v+"month number = "+index_v);
System.out.println( "current year = "+year_c+"current date = "+d_c+"current month number = "+index_c);
if(year_v >= year_c)
{
if(index_v >= index_c)
{
if(d_v >= d_c)
{
return true;
}
else if((month_v.equals(month_c))&&(year_c == year_v))
{
return false;
}
else
return true;
}
else
return false;

}
else
return false;
