hi

How can I convert a string (eg 2010-7-10) to a full day (Monday 10 July 2010) with predefined functions??

You could parse the values and pass them to a Date/Calendar object then use the SimpleDateFormat class to print the values back in that form.

Try 

long date = net.rim.device.api.io.http.HttpDateParser.parse("2010-7-10");

it should work. You can then use 

net.rim.device.api.i18n.DateFormat

to get it in desired format (also localized, if you want).

This works, I checked:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
	long date = net.rim.device.api.io.http.HttpDateParser.parse("2010-07-10");
	DateFormat d = DateFormat.getInstance(DateFormat.DATE_LONG);
	System.out.println(d.format(new Date(date)));	
}

it prints: Sat, 10 Jul 2010

Your problem is, the month (and probably day) is single digit, not double digit (e.g. 2010-7-1)

If is up to you what to do with it... Either write completely your own parser, or make them two digits using indexof and charat function.

If you use the SimpleDateFormat class and a Calendar/Date object, you can format the date any way you want. Look at the class in the JDE docs, it's very flexible and easy to use.
