Overview

The Date object should return current time but it returns something like "java.util.Date@6b2251e9" instead.

Description

The Date object should contain the current time but it contains something like "java.util.Date@6b2251e9" instead. Normally printing out the Date object should return something like "Fri Jan 14 16:04:22 GMT+02:00 2005".

Solution

You can ask a specific value from the Calendar object, for example like this: calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY). This would return an integer showing the hour value of current time.

This is fixed in the newer S60 devices.
