Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,052 PointsHow can i convert date type variable to SimpleDateFormate.
The mReleaseDate is a Date type variable. Convert and return it using the SimpleDateFormate variable.
import java.util.Date;
public class Movie {
private String mTitle;
private Date mReleaseDate;
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
mTitle = title;
}
public Date getReleaseDate() {
return mReleaseDate;
}
public void setReleaseDate(Date date) {
mReleaseDate = date;
}
public String getFormattedReleaseDate(){
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
}
}

It will look similar to this:
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
formatter.format(mSomeDate);
Hopefully that helps, let me know if you're still stuck.
