How to convert DateTime to a String

Question

I am trying to display a DateTime as text in a ListTile.

What I have done gives me the message:

The argument type 'String' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'DateTime'

Code:

_getDate() {
    String formattedDate = DateFormat(yyyy-MM-dd).format(widget.exampleForDate.myDate);
    return ListTile(
      title: Text(formattedDate),
    );
  }

Is `widget.exampleForDate.myDate` a `DateTime` object or `String`? — fayeed, Jul 19 '19 at 05:39

Use intl package to access DateFormat

DateTime dateTime = widget.exampleForDate.myDate; // your dateTime object
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); // how you want it to be formatted
String string = dateFormat.format(dateTime); // format it

Use it like

ListTile(title: Text(string));

Where are you using `string`, it should be in `ListTile(title: Text(string))` – CopsOnRoad Jul 19 '19 at 06:33
It works like the answer given now, string is in listTile but I need to show my widgets date and not the current date – Jul 19 '19 at 07:55
