date add() does not return correct year

[gotchausa]

I'm trying to do something like this:

1. Get today's date: lets say Jan 1, 2003
2. todayDate.add(Calendar.Date, -1);
3. The return output is:
yy - 2003
mth - Jan
dd - 31

I'm expecting the new date to be Dec 31, 2002. What went wrong?

Show us the code.

as java is case-sensitive, you'll need to refer to Calendar.DATE correctly. otherwise, if i'm missing something else, you'll want to show your code so i can catch the rest of the context. Liam Morley

OK, I checked my code and realize that the month starts at 0 for Jan. etc. I put it as 1 in my code, hence the results was correct. My oversight! Thx.
