Convert DateTime to Date

Question

I want to Convert DateTime into Date

I have been trying this out ..below is the code snippet

public void searchSFDC() {
    DateTime lastModDate ;
    for(sObject resultSet : searchResults[0]) { // searching only solutions
        SfResults sf = new SfResults();
        lastModDate=Datetime.valueOf(resultSet.get('LastModifiedDate'));
        sf.lastModifiedDate = date.newinstance(lastModDate.year(),lastModDate.month(),lastModDate.day());
     }
}
public class SfResults {
        public Date lastModifiedDate {get;set;}     
}

But sf.lastModifiedDate is shown as 2014-04-11 00:00:00 .I do not want the 00:00:00 timestamp .How can we achieve this?

Answer 1

Datetime objects have this date method:

date()

Returns the Date component of a Datetime in the local time zone of the context user.

so your code can use it like this:

Datetime dt = (Datetime) resultSet.get('LastModifiedDate');
sf.lastModifiedDate = dt.date();

(Generally you would need a null check in the code but as LastModifiedDate always has a value here you don't.)

So this gets you the correct Date object value. But an answer is needed to mast0r's question to cover how to get the final presentation right.

This works for me :

DateTime dt = Acc.CreatedDate;
integer year = dt.year();
integer month = dt.month();
integer day = dt.day();
