DateFormat is an abstract class for a family of classes that convert dates and times from their internal representations to textual form and back again in a language-independent manner.
Converting from the internal representation (milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970) to text is known as "formatting," and converting from text to millis is known as "parsing." We currently define only one concrete subclass ofDateFormat:SimpleDateFormat, which can handle pretty much all normal date formatting and parsing actions.
DateFormat helps you to format and parse dates for any locale. Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for months, days of the week, or even the calendar format: lunar vs. solar.
To format a date for the currentLocale, use one of the static factory methods:
DateFormat* dfmt =DateFormat::createDateInstance();UDate myDate =Calendar::getNow();UnicodeString myString;myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );static U_I18N_API UDate getNow()Returns the current UTC (GMT) time measured in milliseconds since 0:00:00 on 1/1/70 (derived from the...static U_I18N_API DateFormat * createDateInstance(EStyle style=kDefault, const Locale &aLocale=Locale::getDefault())Creates a date formatter with the given formatting style for the given const locale.
If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
UnicodeString myString;UDate myDateArr[] = { 0.0, 100000000.0, 2000000000.0 };// test valuesfor (int32_t i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {myString.remove();cout << df->format( myDateArr[i], myString ) << endl;}
To get specific fields of a date, you can useUFieldPosition to get specific fields.
DateFormat* dfmt =DateFormat::createDateInstance();FieldPosition pos(DateFormat::YEAR_FIELD);UnicodeString myString;myString = dfmt->format( myDate, myString );cout << myString << endl;cout << pos.getBeginIndex() <<"," << pos. getEndIndex() << endl;
To format a date for a differentLocale, specify it in the call tocreateDateInstance().
DateFormat* df =DateFormat::createDateInstance( DateFormat::SHORT,Locale::getFrance());static U_COMMON_API const Locale & getFrance()Useful constant for this country/region.
You can use aDateFormat to parse also.
UErrorCode status =U_ZERO_ERROR;UDate myDate = df->parse(myString, status);
UsecreateDateInstance() to produce the normal date format for that country. There are other static factory methods available. UsecreateTimeInstance() to produce the normal time format for that country. UsecreateDateTimeInstance() to produce aDateFormat that formats both date and time. You can pass in different options to these factory methods to control the length of the result; from SHORT to MEDIUM to LONG to FULL. The exact result depends on the locale, but generally:
You can also set the time zone on the format if you wish. If you want even more control over the format or parsing, (or want to give your users more control), you can try casting theDateFormat you get from the factory methods to aSimpleDateFormat. This will work for the majority of countries; just remember to checkgetDynamicClassID() before carrying out the cast.
You can also use forms of the parse and format methods withParsePosition andFieldPosition to allow you to

| static |
Creates a date formatter with the given formatting style for the given const locale.
| style | The given formatting style. For example, SHORT for "M/d/yy" in the US locale. As currently implemented, relative date formatting only affects a limited range of calendar days before or after the current date, based on the CLDR <field type="day">/<relative> data: For example, in English, "Yesterday", "Today", and "Tomorrow". Outside of this range, dates are formatted using the corresponding non-relative style. |
| aLocale | The given locale. |

| pure virtual |
Formats a date into a date/time string.
This is an abstract method which concrete subclasses must implement.
On input, theFieldPosition parameter may have its "field" member filled with an enum value specifying a field. On output, theFieldPosition will be filled in with the text offsets for that field.
For example, given a time text "1996.07.10 AD at 15:08:56 PDT", if the given fieldPosition.field is UDAT_YEAR_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and statfieldPositionus.getEndIndex will be set to 0 and 4, respectively.
Notice that if the same time field appears more than once in a pattern, the status will be set for the first occurrence of that time field. For instance, formatting a UDate to the time string "1 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)" using the pattern "h a z (zzzz)" and the alignment field DateFormat::TIMEZONE_FIELD, the offsets fieldPosition.beginIndex and fieldPosition.getEndIndex will be set to 5 and 8, respectively, for the first occurrence of the timezone pattern character 'z'.
| cal | Calendar set to the date and time to be formatted into a date/time string. When the calendar type is different from the internal calendar held by thisDateFormat instance, the date and the time zone will be inherited from the input calendar, but other calendar field values will be calculated by the internal calendar. |
| appendTo | Output parameter to receive result. Result is appended to existing contents. |
| fieldPosition | On input: an alignment field, if desired (see examples above) On output: the offsets of the alignment field (see examples above) |

For example, a time text "07/10/96 4:5 PM, PDT" will be parsed into a Date that is equivalent to Date(837039928046).
By default, parsing is lenient: If the input is not in the form used by this object's format method but can still be parsed as a date, then the parse succeeds. Clients may insist on strict adherence to the format by calling setLenient(false).
| text | The date/time string to be parsed. |
| cal | ACalendar set on input to the date and time to be used for missing values in the date/time string being parsed, and set on output to the parsed date/time. When the calendar type is different from the internal calendar held by thisDateFormat instance, the internal calendar will be cloned to a work calendar set to the same milliseconds and time zone as the cal parameter, field values will be parsed based on the work calendar, then the result (milliseconds and time zone) will be set in this calendar. |
| pos | On input, the position at which to start parsing; on output, the position at which parsing terminated, or the start position if the parse failed. |

Note that the normal date formats associated with some calendars - such as the Chinese lunar calendar - do not specify enough fields to enable dates to be parsed unambiguously. In the case of the Chinese lunar calendar, while the year within the current 60-year cycle is specified, the number of such cycles since the start date of the calendar (in the ERA field of theCalendar object) is not normally part of the format, and parsing may assume the wrong era. For cases such as this it is recommended that clients parse using the method parse(const UnicodeString&, Calendar& cal, ParsePosition&) with theCalendar passed in set to the current date, or to a date within the era/cycle that should be assumed if absent in the format.

Parse a date/time string.
For example, a time text "07/10/96 4:5 PM, PDT" will be parsed into a UDate that is equivalent to Date(837039928046). Parsing begins at the beginning of the string and proceeds as far as possible. Assuming no parse errors were encountered, this function doesn't return any information about how much of the string was consumed by the parsing. If you need that information, use the version ofparse() that takes aParsePosition.
By default, parsing is lenient: If the input is not in the form used by this object's format method but can still be parsed as a date, then the parse succeeds. Clients may insist on strict adherence to the format by calling setLenient(false).

Parse a string to produce an object.
This methods handles parsing of date/time strings intoFormattable objects with UDate types.
Before calling, set parse_pos.index to the offset you want to start parsing at in the source. After calling, parse_pos.index is the end of the text you parsed. If error occurs, index is unchanged.
When parsing, leading whitespace is discarded (with a successful parse), while trailing whitespace is left as is.
SeeFormat::parseObject() for more.
| source | The string to be parsed into an object. |
| result | Formattable to be set to the parse result. If parse fails, return contents are undefined. |
| parse_pos | The position to start parsing at. Upon return this param is set to the position after the last character successfully parsed. If the source is not parsed successfully, this param will remain unchanged. |

Sets an boolean attribute on thisDateFormat.
May return U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR if this instance does not support the specified attribute.

Specifies whether encapsulatedCalendar date/time parsing is to be lenient.
With lenient parsing, the parser may use heuristics to interpret inputs that do not precisely match this object's format. Without lenient parsing, inputs must match this object's format more closely.
| lenient | when true, parsing is lenient |
| virtual |
Set a particular UDisplayContext value in the formatter, such as UDISPCTX_CAPITALIZATION_FOR_STANDALONE.
| value | The UDisplayContext value to set. |
| status | Input/output status. If at entry this indicates a failure status, the function will do nothing; otherwise this will be updated with any new status from the function. |

With lenient parsing, the parser may use heuristics to interpret inputs that do not precisely match this object's format. Without lenient parsing, inputs must match this object's format more closely.
Note: ICU 53 introduced finer grained control of leniency (and added new control points) making the preferred method a combination ofsetCalendarLenient() &setBooleanAttribute() calls. This method supports prior functionality but may not support all future leniency control & behavior ofDateFormat. For control of pre 53 leniency,
Calendar andDateFormat whitespace & numeric tolerance, this method is safe to use. However, mixing leniency control via this method and modification of the newer attributes viasetBooleanAttribute() may produce undesirable results.
