android - Incorrect date conversion by SimpleDateFormat -

i using simpledateformat convert date dd-mm-yyyy yyyy-mm-dd not display year properly.i trying convert 18-5-2014 2014-05-18 getting 3914-05-18.

 public void ondateset(datepicker view, int year,int monthofyear, int dayofmonth)  {    date selecteddate = new date(year,monthofyear, dayofmonth);    string strdate = null;        simpledateformat dateformatter = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd");        strdate = dateformatter.format(selecteddate);        txtdeliverydate.settext(strdate);    } 

i suspect didn't read documentation (deprecated) date constructor you're using:

parameters:
year - year minus 1900.
month - month between 0-11.
date - day of month between 1-31.

avoid using date here. either use good date/time library joda time, or use calendar set year/month/day values - then, month 0-based.

also, method accepting year/month/day values... if you're trying conversion, should accepting string , returning string, e.g.

public static string convertdateformat(string text) {     timezone utc = timezone.gettimezone("etc/utc");     simpledateformat parser = new simpledateformat("dd-mm-yyyy", locale.us);     parser.settimezone(utc);     date date = parser.parse(text);      simpledateformat formatter = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd", locale.us);     formatter.settimezone(utc);     return formatter.format(date); }
