Couldn't Translate Date To Spanish With Locale("es_ES")


Answer :

"es_ES" is a language + country. You must specify each part separately.



The constructors for Locale are:




  • Locale(String language)
    Construct a locale from a language code.

  • Locale(String language, String country)
    Construct a locale from language, country.

  • Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
    Construct a locale from language, country, variant.



You want new Locale("es", "ES"); to get the Locale that goes with es_ES.



However, it would be better to use Locale.forLanguageTag("es-ES"), using the well-formed IETF BCP 47 language tag es-ES (with - instead of _), since that method can return a cached Locale, instead of always creating a new one.



tl;dr



String output = 
    ZonedDateTime.now ( ZoneId.of ( "Europe/Madrid" ) )
    .format ( 
        DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate ( FormatStyle.FULL )
                         .withLocale ( new Locale ( "es" , "ES" ) ) 
    )
;

The accepted Answer by Affe is correct. You were incorrectly constructing a Locale object.



java.time



The Question and Answer both use old outmoded classes now supplanted by the java.time framework built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the old troublesome date-time classes such as java.util.Date. See Oracle Tutorial. Much of the java.time functionality is back-ported to Java 6 & 7 in ThreeTen-Backport and further adapted to Android in ThreeTenABP.



These classes include the DateTimeFormatter to control the format of text when generating a String from your date-time value. You can specify an explicit formatting pattern. But why bother? Let the class automatically localize the format to the human language and cultural norms of a specific Locale.



For example, get the current moment in Madrid regional time zone.



ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "Europe/Madrid" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.now( zoneId );
// example: 2016-07-12T01:43:09.231+02:00[Europe/Madrid]


Instantiate a formatter to generate a String to represent that date-time value. Specify the length of the text via FormatStyle (full, long, medium, short).



DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate ( FormatStyle.FULL );


Apply a Locale to substitute for the JVM’s current default Locale assigned to the formatter.



Locale locale = new Locale ( "es" , "ES" );
formatter = formatter.withLocale ( locale );


Use the formatter to generate a String object.



String output = zdt.format ( formatter );
// example: martes 12 de julio de 2016


Dump to console.



System.out.println ( "zdt: " + zdt + " with locale: " + locale + " | output: " + output );



zdt: 2016-07-12T01:43:09.231+02:00[Europe/Madrid] with locale: es_ES | output: martes 12 de julio de 2016




Java 8



LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
String day = today.getDayOfWeek().getDisplayName(TextStyle.FULL, new Locale("es","ES")));


Also works for month.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
