Calendar complete() Method in Java with Examples
The complete() method in Calendar class is used to fill any unset fields of the calendar fields. It follows the following process of completion:
- At first, if the time value has not been calculated, the computeTime() method is called to calculate it from calendar field values.
- Second, to calculate all the calendar field values the computeFields() method is used.
Syntax:
protected void complete()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs illustrate the working of complete() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java Code to illustrate// complete() Method  import java.util.*;  public class CalendarClassDemo    extends GregorianCalendar {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Creating calendar object        CalendarClassDemo calndr = new CalendarClassDemo();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The Current "                           + "date is: " + calndr.getTime());          // Clearing the calendar        calndr.clear();          // Set a new year and call        // complete()        calndr.set(GregorianCalendar.YEAR, 2008);        calndr.complete();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The new"                           + " date is: " + calndr.getTime());    }} |
Output:
The Current date is: Wed Feb 13 15:39:33 UTC 2019 The new date is: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 2008
Example 2:
// Java Code to illustrate// complete() Method  import java.util.*;  public class CalendarClassDemo    extends GregorianCalendar {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Creating calendar object        CalendarClassDemo calndr = new CalendarClassDemo();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The Current "                           + "date is: " + calndr.getTime());          // Clearing the calendar        calndr.clear();          // Set a new year and call        // complete()        calndr.set(GregorianCalendar.YEAR, 1996);        calndr.complete();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The new"                           + " date is: " + calndr.getTime());    }} |
Output:
The Current date is: Wed Feb 13 15:39:36 UTC 2019 The new date is: Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1996
