changing string to Calendar object value.

I am having string date = "2014-09-11".

i want to set this string to calendar object.

The string value is already having "-" in it. So how to use date formatting?

You should use a date format to parse your string

String dateStr = "2014-09-11";
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
DateTime date = format.parse(dateStr);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);

try this

    String date = "2014-09-11";
    String dt[]=date.split("-");
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.add(Calendar.DATE, Integer.parseInt(dt[2]));
    cal.add(Calendar.MONTH,Integer.parseInt(dt[1]));
    cal.add(Calendar.YEAR,Integer.parseInt(dt[0]));

    System.out.print(cal.getTime().toString());

try this code:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String dateInString = "2014-09-11";

try {

    Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
    System.out.println(date);
    System.out.println(formatter.format(date));

} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
