    Default Assisstance

    Hey everyone,

    I have an assignment that I am totally lost on...

    I am in 2nd year of Systems Development...
    Please assist me on what I am missing or doing wrong
    I have to have a GUI that will select a date and time...
    Basically, I need Monday - Saturday with working hours and Sunday needs different working hours.

    My code so far works for everyday, but I am struggling with Sunday.

    I have to use JXDatePicker (unless there is something else I can use...)

    If I select the day and it's out of operating hours, it needs to throw an error.
    If I select a valid day and time, it needs to go to my list box.

    My time is selected from a combobox and my date is selected from JXDatePicker.

    MY CODE THAT WORKS FOR EVERYDAY:

    try

    {
    SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
    Date opening = parser.parse("09:00");
    Date closing = parser.parse("22:00");

    Date userDate = parser.parse((String) txtTime.getSelectedItem());
    if (userDate.after(opening) && userDate.before(closing))
    {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Success");
    dlmList.addElement(txtTime.getSelectedItem().toStr ing());

    }

    else
    {


    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid Time");

    }


    } catch (ParseException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(Customer.class.getName()).log(Lev el.SEVERE, null, ex);

    }

    -NOT SURE IF I NEED TO ADD THE BELOW CODE FOR THE DATE...
    BUT WHEN I CHANGE THE DATE FORMAT AS BELOW, IT WRITES; DAY DATE YEAR TIME AND TIMEZONE INSTEAD OF JUST DAY AND DATE TO MY LIST...
    I do think it is the settings of JXDatepicker, and it doesn't allow me to remove the timezone.


    try
    {

    Date Date = new Date();

    SimpleDateFormat SimpleDateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE"); // the day of the week spelled out completely
    Object dayOfWeek = null;



    if(dayOfWeek == "Sunday")
    {
    String opening = "08:00";
    String closing = "21:00";
    }

    else
    {
    String opening = "09:00";
    String closing = "22:00";
    }

    }

    Default Re: Assisstance

    Can you post the output from the program that shows what you are talking about? Add some comments where the output is not what you want.

    One problem I see in the code is using == to compare String objects. You need to use the equals() method to compare the contents of objects.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
