I am using a DatePicker so that the user can select a date and find out the sunrise and sunset times for that particular date. The webservice I am using requires the date to be snet in the following format dd/MM but I would like the button to show the date in the format DDth MMMM YYYY e.g 21st March 2013
Any advice on how I should I go about doing this?
Code below as requested:
public class SunriseSunset extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
public Button getLocation;
public Button setLocationJapan;
public TextView LongCoord;
public TextView LatCoord;
public double longitude;
public double latitude;
public LocationManager lm;
public Spinner Locationspinner;
public DateDialogFragment frag;
public Button date;
public Calendar now;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.sunrisesunset);
//Date stuff
now = Calendar.getInstance();
date = (Button)findViewById(R.id.date_button);
date.setText(String.valueOf(now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+1)+"-"+String.valueOf(now.get(Calendar.MONTH))+"-"+String.valueOf(now.get(Calendar.YEAR)));
date.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
showDialog();
}
});
}
// More date stuff
public void showDialog() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); //get the fragment
frag = DateDialogFragment.newInstance(this, new DateDialogFragmentListener(){
public void updateChangedDate(int year, int month, int day){
date.setText(String.valueOf(day)+"-"+String.valueOf(month+1)+"-"+String.valueOf(year));
now.set(year, month, day);
}
}, now);
frag.show(ft, "DateDialogFragment");
}
public interface DateDialogFragmentListener{
//this interface is a listener between the Date Dialog fragment and the activity to update the buttons date
public void updateChangedDate(int year, int month, int day);
}
public void addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection() {
Locationspinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Locationspinner);
Locationspinner
.setOnItemSelectedListener(new CustomOnItemSelectedListener(
this));
}
private class LongRunningGetIO extends AsyncTask {
protected String getASCIIContentFromEntity(HttpEntity entity)
throws IllegalStateException, IOException {
InputStream in = entity.getContent();
StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer();
int n = 1;
while (n > 0) {
byte[] b = new byte[4096];
n = in.read(b);
if (n > 0)
out.append(new String(b, 0, n));
}
return out.toString();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
// Finds todays date and adds that into the URL
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM");
String formattedDate = df.format(now.getTime());
String finalURL = "http://www.earthtools.org/sun/"
+ LatCoord.getText().toString().trim() + "/"
+ LongCoord.getText().toString().trim() + "/"
+ formattedDate + "/99/0";
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(finalURL);
String text = null;
try {
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet,
localContext);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
text = getASCIIContentFromEntity(entity);
} catch (Exception e) {
return e.getLocalizedMessage();
}
return text;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String results) {
if (results != null) {
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource s = new InputSource(new StringReader(results));
Document doc = dBuilder.parse(s);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
TextView tvSunrise = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Sunrise);
TextView tvSunset = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Sunset);
tvSunrise.setText(doc.getElementsByTagName("sunrise").item(0).getTextContent());
tvSunset.setText(doc.getElementsByTagName("sunset").item(0).getTextContent());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.CalculateSunriseSunset);
b.setClickable(true);
}
}
class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {

DateDialogFragment:
import java.util.Calendar;
import richgrundy.learnphotography.SunriseSunset.DateDialogFragmentListener;
import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.DialogFragment;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.DatePicker;
public class DateDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
public static String TAG = "DateDialogFragment";
static Context mContext; //I guess hold the context that called it. Needed when making a DatePickerDialog. I guess its needed when conncting the fragment with the context
static int mYear;
static int mMonth;
static int mDay;
static DateDialogFragmentListener mListener;
public static DateDialogFragment newInstance(Context context, DateDialogFragmentListener listener, Calendar now) {
DateDialogFragment dialog = new DateDialogFragment();
mContext = context;
mListener = listener;
mYear = now.get(Calendar.YEAR);
mMonth = now.get(Calendar.MONTH);
mDay = now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
return dialog;
}
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return new DatePickerDialog(mContext, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
}
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
mYear = year;
mMonth = monthOfYear;
mDay = dayOfMonth;
mListener.updateChangedDate(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}
};
}
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Please ask questions for clarification if need =)
----------------UPDATE-------------------------
I'm getting there, updated code now looks like this:
public void showDialog() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); //get the fragment
frag = DateDialogFragment.newInstance(this, new DateDialogFragmentListener(){
public void updateChangedDate(int year, int month, int day){
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("DD MM yyyy"); // could be created elsewhere
now.set(year, month, day);
date.setText(format.format(now.getTime()));
date.setText(String.valueOf(day)+"-"+String.valueOf(month+1)+"-"+String.valueOf(year));
now.set(year, month, day);
}
}, now);
frag.show(ft, "DateDialogFragment"); }
