Visualforce Page
-----------------------------------
<apex:page controller="datePicker" id="mypage">
<apex:form >
Date: <apex:inputText value="{!dateName}" size="10" id="demo" onfocus="DatePicker.pickDate(false, this , false);" />
<apex:outputpanel id="counter">
<apex:outputText value="Click Me!"/>
<apex:outputText value="The formatted time right now is: {0,date,yyyy.MM.dd G 'at' HH:mm:ss z}">
<apex:param value="{!dateName}" />
</apex:outputText>
<apex:actionSupport event="onclick" rerender="counter" status="counterStatus"/>
</apex:outputpanel>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Visualforce Controller
-------------------------------
public with sharing class datePicker {
public Date dateName{ get; set; }
}
Below is a version of code. I havent tried it, but I think it should bind the variable to the controller.
Controller:
public class datePicker1
{
public String outputdate { get; set; }
public datetime datename {get; set;}
public void displayDate()
{
String formattedDate = outputdate + ' 00:00:00';
datename = Datetime.valueOfGmt(formattedDate.replaceAll('/', '-'));
}
}
Visualforce Page:
<apex:page controller="datePicker1" id="mypage">
<apex:form>
<apex:outputPanel id="theOP">
Date: <apex:inputText value="{!outputdate}" size="10" id="demo" onfocus="DatePicker.pickDate(false, this , false);" />
<apex:commandButton action="{!displayDate}" value="dispdate" rerender="theOP"/>
{!outputdate}
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
The issue was that you were trying to bind a datetime field directly to the inputText, which was giving a validation error and hence not calling the controller method.
I have also mentioned an outputPanel which is rerendered on button click. This prevents the rerendering of the VF page.
Hope this helps.
Ur Idea worked with minor changes,
But it is displaying the date in " Sun Oct 05 00:00:00 GMT 10 " format. Where as I need it in " yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ " format.
Please share if u have any idea.
String formattedDate = datename + ' 00:00:00';
datetime a = DateTime.valueOfGmt(formattedDate.replaceAll('/', '-'));
outputdate = a.format('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ'); // This gives the error : Un recognized format
outputdate = a.format('yyyy-MM-dd'); // and this is changing the actual date itself. eg: if my actual date is 3/21/2014 then it is showing 0010-03-06
