Flex: adding 1 day to a specific date

Question

how can i set a date adding 1 day in flex??

Answer 1

Isn't Flex based on ECMA (basically javascript), if so, try just adding 86400000 milliseconds to the date object? Something like:

var mili = 1000;
var secs = 60;
var mins = 60;
var hours = 24;
var day = hours * mins * secs * mili;
var tomorrow = new Date();
var tomorrow.setTime(tomorrow.getTime() + day);

Answer 2

tommorow date arithmetic suggested by @Treby can be uses this way by using Date(year, month, day) constructor :

var now:Date = Date(); 
var currentDate = now.date; 
var currentMonth = now.month; 
var currentYear = now.fullYear; 


var tomorrow:Date = new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, currentDate + 1);  
var lastWeek:Date = new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, currentDate  - 7); 
var lastMonth:Date = new Date(currentYear, currentMonth-1, currentDate); 

etc.

Answer 3

or if you are after a fancy solution you can use the library Flex Date Utils http://flexdateutils.riaforge.org/, which has a lot of useful operations

Answer 4

I took this helper function from some blog post (I don't remeber the source) but is just a snippet.

the usage is simple:

 dateAdd("date", +2); //now plus 2 days

-

    static public function dateAdd(datepart:String = "", number:Number = 0, date:Date = null):Date
            {
        if (date == null) {
            date = new Date();
        }

        var returnDate:Date = new Date(date.time);;

        switch (datepart.toLowerCase()) {
            case "fullyear":
            case "month":
            case "date":
            case "hours":
            case "minutes":
            case "seconds":
            case "milliseconds":
                returnDate[datepart] += number;
                break;
            default:
                /* Unknown date part, do nothing. */
                break;
        }
        return returnDate;
    }

Answer 5

Use:

var date:Date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);

As this considers the summer timechange days, when days have 23h or 25h.
