my date constructor deprecated , highlighted in yellow.

how can use calendar.set() resolve issue. have called both import java.util.calendar; , date.

code below. in advance.

format f = new simpledateformat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss z"); date d = new date(f.format(geostate.getstring("firetime"))); temp.setfiretime(d); 

use dateformat.parse method convert string date

string string = "january 2, 2010"; dateformat format = new simpledateformat("mmmm d, yyyy", locale.english); date date = format.parse(string); system.out.println(date); 

in case this
