select date from jdatechooser and automatically diplay age in a Textfield

Question

i'm trying to get the selected date from Jdatechooser and display the age corresponding to the date in a Textfield, i saw all the threads discussing this problem but it doesn"t work for me.here is my code:

 private void datenaiss_choozPropertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt) {                                               
    Date date = (Date) datenaiss_chooz.getDate(); 
LocalDate ld = date.toInstant().atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toLocalDate();
Period p =Period.between(ld, LocalDate.now());
age.setText(p);


}

What exactly you mean by "it doesn't work" ? Can you share the output you got so far? May be you just need to do `p. getYears()`, `p. getMonths()` etc. — ring bearer, Jul 20 '15 at 14:39
i wrote age.setText(p.getyears) and i got "incompatible types:it can not be converted to string" — Sam, Jul 20 '15 at 15:43
`getYears()` returns `int` and you need to place a `String` type in text field. So use `String.valueOf(p.getYears());` — ring bearer, Jul 20 '15 at 15:52
age.setText(String.valueOf(p.getYears())); not working unfortunately :/ — Sam, Jul 20 '15 at 16:37

Solution to your problem using joda-time :

DateTime birthDate = new DateTime(1990, 1, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime now = new DateTime();
Period period = new Period(birthDate, now);
int years = period.getYears();
System.out.println(years);

This will give you the difference you required !

finally after long hours i got the solution, thanks everybody for helping me.Here is my code that works perfectly :

DateTime start = new DateTime(datenaiss_chooz.getDate());
Years h = Years.yearsBetween(start, new DateTime()); 
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
b.append(h.getYears());
String str = b.toString();
if ( h.getYears()==0)
age.setText(""); 
else
age.setText(str+" "+"ans");
