Display date in JTextField

Question

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date udoa = new Date(calendar.getTime().getTime());`

Here, I am storing system date in udoa (local variable)

I want to display it in JTextField doa;

doa.setText(udoa);

I am using this, but it is not working because data type of udoa is date.

Does anybody know how to achieve this?

Use a SimpleDateFormat formatter. Consider using a JFormattedTextField that uses the SimpleDateFormat as its formatter. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Jan 31 '15 at 14:38

You can fix this by using the toString() Method of Date

use doa.setText(udoa.toString());
