28,738 PointsHello,
In your line
formatter.setDate(Date.getDate(getReleasedDate));
You want to be using the format method of the SimpleDateFormat class, which your object is formatter. Then you want to pass in your the release date, which you can obtain from the getReleaseDate() method. Pass in that date as the parameter to the format method and then all you need to do is return the String that format returns to you. Please let us know if you need more assistance and we can help you further. If you do need more assistance, please provide your updated code so that we can help you from your current setup.
