Unexpected side effects when parsing dates in Android

http://stackoverflow.com – In various Android projects, I use the following static function to parse dates such as 1900-12-31. Of course, this function should be deterministic - but it turns out it is not. Why? Normally, it parses the date 2010-10-30, for example, to the correct Date instance holding that value. But I have noticed that when I have an IntentService running at the same time and parsing some dates, this function parses the same date as above to 1983-01-20, which is one of the dates parsed in the IntentService. How can this happen? public static Date dateFromString(String dateStr) { SimpleDateFormat m (HowTos)

Hi Gurus!

I have a static date in a YYYYMMDD format; and I want get the date 2 years in the past and 2 years in the future.

Code: static_date=20010203

old_date=$static_date - 3 years future_date=$static_date + 2 years I was only able to research on dates that are current and not on static dates wherein I can have it set and just changing it when I want. Please help...

In a database I have saved the date in form of 3 columns: Year, Month, Day_of_Month ( I know it might not be a best way to save the date but I make certain other queries for which this format felt suitable.)

Now I wish to get all the rows where the date is in between two specified dates.

Just under a week ago, we kicked off our hackathon at TechCrunch Disrupt. Before the event started, Ford had already picked a number of teams that would get access to the otherwise closed Ford AppLink API. The winner of this challenge was BeCouply, which developed the Dates.fm app for suggesting interesting dates to Ford’s in-car interface.
