How to convert Hijri (Islamic) date to Gregorian date

I want to convert Hijri date to Gregorian date! I've searched, but unfortunately I found a java class for converting Gregorian to Hijri. I need the opposite.

Solution

  • You can use Joda-Time for this.

    If you create an Islamic cronology and call withUTC() it should return an UTC cronology which can be converted to whatever is needed.

    However, according to this post, the joda-Time implementation is only an approximation.
