Hi i am developing my custom component,so in that i need to place the datefield in center of form,

with buttons surrounding that component.So

1)I want to set the dateField component to center.I tried with using following code

 SimpleDateFormat SDF = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
        df=new DateField("",0 , SDF,DateField.FIELD_HCENTER|DateField.DATE);
        this.add(df);

I cannot get it in center.How to get it in the center.

2)This datefield shows the present date,so if i want the DateField to show the given date,how to do it in datefield.

Hi, 

I'm not sure about the first question - all looks fine.

For the second one please use DateField.setDate().

Thanks,

Eugen

When i use DateField.setDate() it asks for date object.Any ideas on how to create it(Date Object this is from J2ME right)?

any sample codes will be helpful.

Regarding the first qn,we have change(override)to width of the component,using Prefferred width method,and i added in HorizontalFieldManager,i am getting it partially ,and working on it

Date date = new Date();

Date date = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()) //long variable any time that you need
