How do I implement JDatePicker

Solution 1:

Assuming you are using 1.3.4, then the constructor requirements have changed...

UtilDateModel model = new UtilDateModel();
//model.setDate(20,04,2014);
// Need this...
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("text.today", "Today");
p.put("text.month", "Month");
p.put("text.year", "Year");
JDatePanelImpl datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model, p);
// Don't know about the formatter, but there it is...
JDatePickerImpl datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel, new DateLabelFormatter());

Using this AbstractFormatter...

public class DateLabelFormatter extends AbstractFormatter {

    private String datePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
    private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern);

    @Override
    public Object stringToValue(String text) throws ParseException {
        return dateFormatter.parseObject(text);
    }

    @Override
    public String valueToString(Object value) throws ParseException {
        if (value != null) {
            Calendar cal = (Calendar) value;
            return dateFormatter.format(cal.getTime());
        }

        return "";
    }

}

Solution 2:

Just use properties in the constructor of JDatePanelImpl

Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("text.today", "Today");
p.put("text.month", "Month");
p.put("text.year", "Year");
JDatePanelImpl datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model, p);
