Calendar returning the wrong time

The time displayed is way ahead of what I expected. I'm parsing a date string and turning it into milliseconds.

year = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(1));
mo = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(2));
day = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(3));
hr = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(4));
min = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(5));
sec = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(6));

and here I set the Calendar

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(year, mo, day, hr, min, sec);
time = cal.getTimeInMillis();
Solution

  • If you check out the calendar documentation here, then visit here, you'll see that January is month 0. You'll want to change your code to mo = Integer.parseInt(m1.group(2))-1;
