Help! how to add a "0" infront of month?

Question

i am using this method to retrieve current day and month
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int currMonth = c.get(c.MONTH)+1;
int currDay = c.get(c.DATE);
int currYear = c.get(c.YEAR);
it works well.
but now, i want to insert them into database. and found out that if month or day is single digit, for example, june, it will just insert 6 into the database.
But i actually need 06 instead of 6.
can anyone help me?
how to add a 0 infront?

Answer 1

you can use SimpleDateFormat:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
i provide you code example of how to test it: but there i use deprecated method (as i didn't want to use DateFormat for geting new Date object)
so, i beg you, don't you use that deprecated constructor.
import java.text.*;
class SimpleDFTest {
public static void  main(String[] args) {
  SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
  for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++) {
   System.out.println("Some date: " + sdf.format(
     /* java.util.Date(int,int,int) is deprecated, DON'T use it */
     new java.util.Date(/*1900 + */ 103, i, 5 + i)
}to compile it i used javac -deprecation SimpleDFTest.java
note that i print out 13 rows, (month varys from 0 to 12, and day from 5 to 17), that's because i wasn't suer if month should be given as int from 0 to 11 or from 1 to 12.
you may figure out which it is and thenn add 1 to currentMonth, or not.
anyhow, it prints days and months out just the way you need it, with dwo digits.
