Throws:

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Returns	Description
static Date	date of the real-time clock

The getDate() method returns the year, the month, and the day in one string ("year/month/day").

Note

• There is no connection between the actual date and the value weekday. It is simply incremented every day, so it's up to the user to assign a weekday format.
• When automatically storing graphics on the MicroSD card, iLCD Manager XEJoC Manager sets the date where a weekday of 0 means Sunday.

Example

Date date   = IO.getDate();

int day     = date.getDay();

int weekDay = date.getWeekDay();

If the weekDay is e.g. is 3 it means Wednesday (when automatically set by iLCD Manager XEJoC Manager). Alternatively a value can be optained with a single call:

String date = IO.getDate().toString();

IO.getDateTime()
IO.getTime()
IO.setDate(int, int, int, int)
IO.setTime(int, int, int)
