If you want to get int year from year string, which is in yyyy format,

int year = Integer.parseInt("2014");

If you want to get int year from current year,

int year = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);

If you want to get int year from date object,

String yearString = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy").format(date);
int year = Integer.parseInt(yearString);

The SimpleDateFormat object just formats Date objects into strings. It is not actually aware of the date till you ask for it to format a date. The below example will print the year 2015 

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");
String formattedDate = format.format(new Date());
int year = Integer.parseInt(formattedDate);
System.out.println(year);
