Remember everything in iReport are objects you should just use a SimpleDateFormat, take a look at the class description in API.

 

First convert your String to a Date object

 

new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy.HH.mm").format(new Date())

Hi, I want to do the date formate inside *.jrxml file code, how to do it? Could you please give some sample code based on my code bellow? (I am quite new in Jasperreport, I do not know how to do the date format inside *.jrxml) thanks.

Code:

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{time}]]></textFieldExpression>

if "time" is of  type String:

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm").format(new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm").parse($P{time}))]]></textFieldExpression>

if "time" is of type Date:

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm").format($P{time})]]></textFieldExpression>
