number formatting

[rawringbuny]

i have to display a transcript using JOptionPane or using the GUI text field.
but i only know how to print it out using System.out.prin tf

i have to print the yyyymmddnnn (where nnn is the serial no.)

int serialNo = 000;

      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

      date = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
      month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
      year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);

    System.out.printf("Testing =====> %d%d%d%03d\n",  year, month , date , serialNo);

so how do i print the same format (yyyymmddnnn) using JOptionPane.sho wMessageDialog or GUI text field?

Use setText() method to set the text field.

strDate = year+month+date;
setText(String strDate);
