I have string variables (String type) with specified times (for example: “04:15”, “10:35”), I read from file.
How can I apply plusMinues() plusSeconds() to these string variables.
I tried to convert using
val SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm")
sdf.parse(time.get(2)).plusMinutes(15)
put I got error: ‘plusMinutes’ is not a member of ‘java.util.Date’
How can I make it ?
And if it is necessary to create DateTime from this time, how can I create it ?
I assume the time is the string containing “04:15”…
val hours = Integer::parseInt(time.split(":").get(0)
val minutes = Integer::parseInt(time.split(":").get(1)
val newTime = now.withTimeAtStartOfDay.plusDays(1).minurHours(24-hours).plusMinutes(minutes + 15)
val newTimeString = newTime.toString("HH:mm")
The third line seems complicated but we add a day and then go back in time to avoid Summer Time change problems
Thanks, it works, and I want to ask how I get datetime from date String + time String ?
And is it better to work with String or DateTime ?
val hours = Integer::parseInt(time.split(":").get(0))
val minutes = Integer::parseInt(time.split(":").get(1))
val newTime = now.withTimeAtStartOfDay.plusDays(1).minusHours(24-hours).plusMinutes(minutes + 15)
val newTimeString = newTime.toString("HH:mm")
Ask yourself. What does that data represents and apply the best type to it.
Your data represents a time so apply a DateTimeType, then you have all the available method included in the type available.
Stick to jodatime in the DSL. Then you can use 'plusMinutes` and others…
No, actually I mean if I have two String variables (one for date and other for time), how to create valid datetime variable equal the combination of date String and time String ?
