[FIXED] How to cast java.sql.Date to java.lang.CharSequence?

Issue

That's the formatdate method used :

private static java.util.Date formatDate(String webPublicationDate) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat;
    dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss aa");
    java.util.Date convertedDate = new java.util.Date();

    try {
        convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(webPublicationDate);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 

in the same class there's :

Date webPublicationDate = (Date) formatDate(date);

In the adapter class I'm using this to setText :

publishDate.setText((CharSequence) currentArticle.getPublishDate());

Which is giving me an error:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.ClassCastException: java.sql.Date cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence

Solution

1) Are you sure, that currentArticle.getPublishDate() returns the formatted String? If not, try to apply your #formatDate(currentArticle.getPublishDate())

2) You shouldn't misstake java.util.Date with java.sql.Date
